Jack In The Smoke: Anyone around on the weekend of 24/25/26 January?

20:30 / 08.01.03

So I'm being deserted by my spooky lover for a week at the end of the month... she's off to Bali for work-related purposes, and I shall be desolate without her.

So I thought I'd fill my time (this being around payday) by Spending Money I Don't Have with any of my imaginary friends who'd like to see me. My plan at present is to come up on Friday 24th during the day and shop, and get absolutely trashed on Saturday evening, going home on Sunday sometime.

I shall be dependent on the kindness of strangers for a place to kip, which is a smug way of asking whether anyone would mind awfully putting me up? I'll text a couple of likely lads, but just in case...

So, then. Anyone around? Anyone want to make much merriment wit' me?

Anyone?

Ass. Cock.

Am in Florida until 28th. Why do you always visit when I am unavailable?

And I'll be in Scotland. For my grandmother's 80th birthday - joy. Sorry, JtB.

16:57 / 09.01.03

Well, if you weren't such a wee jetsetter, Bitchfaeces...

Will try to be around - may be skint though...

19:16 / 09.01.03

Arse. Have a party to go to on 24th, an ex-girlfriend's birthday to go to on 25th... if you don't have to be back too early on the 26th, afternoon booze could be an option.

May be able to put you up on either of those two nights, though. I DO have sofa space. (Note- my phone's died, I've just bought a new one. As soon as I figure out how the bastard works I'll PM you the number. And if you can't sort a meet out, you're welcome to accompany me to said events).

Pah! Why couldn't this have been last weekend?

Arsing feck. Will be working on the 25th January so am not available, but could probably put you up on the night of the 24th if you had no other offers.

Can't make the saturday night, but around the rest of the weekend. sofa-beds abound.

02:15 / 11.01.03

Might be able. Depends on flathunting and moving.

11:16 / 11.01.03

Oh, well. This is looking more and more like a non-starter...

15:38 / 11.01.03

No no no, don't say that, I ain't seen u for ages. (Can't accomodate tho' I'm afraid, due to building work and live-in landperson.)

Shortfatdyke

15:59 / 11.01.03

Come to St Ives instead!

14:00 / 12.01.03

I'd love to. Unfortunately I'm supposed to be saving to go to Prague...

So we have a Flyboy and a Mr. Posters, with a possible side order of kookiness... have decided to come down on the Saturday morning, as have been knocked back on getting the day off on Friday. Any more interested parties?

16:34 / 12.01.03

I should be around, work and post exam stress permitting...

_pin

17:00 / 12.01.03

I should be there, if Condom'll let me sleep on her floor that nite.

Ria

22:35 / 12.01.03

on a related note I will go to London like around... January 18 then on to Belgium in time to catch the demo there. possibly January 24 as well.

Old brown-eye is back

08:11 / 15.01.03

I could definitely be persuaded. What sort of activity did you have in mind?

16:37 / 15.01.03

Keep us informed Ria, be good to meet ya. And yes Mr Bodiless, what? Where? How? Why? etc etc.

18:29 / 15.01.03

I'm gonna be boring, because I love the Jorene Celeste on a Saturday afternoon, and was probably going to go there even if no one wanted to meet me at all...

So, the JC? About five-ish on the afternoon of Saturday 25th January? What do you think? I will be recovering from the night before, as usual, and therefore pathetically eager to drink/talk/do it all over again if necessary... I will also be ridiculously open to 'buy me a pint, Jack' style suggestion...

18:29 / 15.01.03

Hah! Have just been reminded, rereading this thread, that I nicknamed Pin's sister The Human Condom. I have no idea why I still find this amusing.

07:37 / 16.01.03

There I will be, and to it forward I look.

Ellis says:

06:13 / 17.01.03

I will be there..!

_pin

07:32 / 17.01.03

I'm not gonna be there, but I am going to be up a couple of weeks later, which isn't any help to any of you.

07:38 / 17.01.03

Hey - there's a gig/club thing that night at the Buffalo Bar in Islington (so not a million miles away from the JC) and a band I'd actually really, really like to see (Valerie) are part of the line-up. 8pm, fiver to get in - anyone up for that?

Old brown-eye is back

09:47 / 17.01.03

Hu-hah! This is getting better all the time.

10:36 / 17.01.03

What kinda music r they, Fly?

12:06 / 17.01.03

Valerie. They're grrls-kicking-yo-ass music, Bill. Grrls kicking yo' ass!

I've never actually heard their music though.

Ria

18:54 / 17.01.03

time window: morning to unknown time in London on Saturday.

from 19 to 22 or 23 in the Antwerp-Brussels-Bruges area. 20 in Antwerp.

then the 24th in Manchester. from Manchester to London by the 25th mid-day when my plane will return. PM me privately if you would like.

note that I don't drink or smoke so take this into account for suggesting venues. couches to crash on very welcome.

_pin

19:00 / 17.01.03

Arg! You bastard, Fly! I've already found out I have a friendly floor to be sleeping on, and now I know of this nite too... Shit! I wanna go! Wanna wanna wanna! WAGH!!

09:12 / 18.01.03

Sounds good, Fly... So, meet at the JC (I'm gonna say a little earlier now, probably around four, 'cause I need to stay away from the goddamn shops), and anyone who fancies it, off to the Buffalo Bar for eight...
