Eye over London

pointless and uncalled for

09:49 / 14.05.03

Several of Londinium folk you have been unfortunate enough to be the subject of my ever present camera over the course of recent meets and stuff.

Who then would like to have a chance to meet up and see the results?

If you can't make it, let me know and I'll photocopy the results and flypost your neighborhood.

Sounds good, where did you have planned? Are you going to plan some Tony Hart style music while you explain your motivations behind each one?

i'm up 4 it, and my free evenings begin as of monday next... someone pick a date... and the issue of beer must be addressed: filthbeer or no? Or, of course, we could meet somewhere other than a pub, though that's frankly unlikely.

Having had a good run up wifebeaters, eurolagers and snootale, I'm quite happy to indulge in an evening of maninabluebox.

Quando? A che hora?

(Sorry heaps and heaps of Italian being spoken at work right now, just getting in the spirit!) (Oh and a thousand apologies to Lurid whose eyes I am probably hurting with the terrible grammer, spelling, etc!)

Not to point out the obvious too much but I doubt he'll be too put out as they tend to speak Catalan or Castillian in Barcelona.

Italian doesn't get too much of a look in.

I'll be checking my diary and we can talk to this later.

Tomorrow or tomorrow week? And how about our new favourite pub, The Plough, round the corner from the British Museum (and Gosh)?

14:28 / 14.05.03

Ah, friend Potus, our lovely Mr Archive may well be living in Barcelona right now, but he is in fact Italian and so can recoil in horror at my manglation of the language of his birthright!

Or something!

Anyway, where were we? Thats right .... when and what time!

14:34 / 14.05.03

Tomorrow week's better than tomorrow for moi (and would give folk more notice). The Plough was good enough for Aleister Crowley (but does get crowded from time to time).

Dagnabbit, I'm working from Monday night to the following Monday morning. Arse!

06:55 / 15.05.03

Today's a bit off as I actually have to pick up the pictures this evening and once south of the river I'm not allowed to head north unless I adhere to the two badger minimum law. Not that much of a problem but I'm fresh out and badger-hunting is slow at this time of year.

I think The Plough should be ideal and get there around 6ish.

Please put your yays and nays in the form of a fish.

angel, I was unaware that Lurid was Italian, I natually assumed he was an emmisary of Cthulu.

Potus, the Cuthulonic influence would explain a few things

So what we have so far is:

The Plough
Thursday 22nd May
6.00pm

Now if only someone could find Professor Plum in the Library we'd have the full set!

See youse all there!

Oh damn, I really wanted to see those photo's and I'm only around this weekend.

pointless and uncalled for

06:57 / 16.05.03

Fortunately the pictures will not turn into pumpkins and I have show them too you at a later date.

This is just a rather thin excuse to meet up with imaginary friends.

I say friends, more like acquaintances really.

I say acquaintances, I'm certain most of them would cram anhydrous copper sulphate up my nose and roofing nails down my throat given half the chance but are willing to tolerate me as they all know I'm an easy mark for buying everyone beer.

you've never bought me a beer. i was under the impression that i use you for free photography lessons.

Uhh.... I hope y'all realise that there's already a big crowd that meets in the Plough every Thursday and that the staff can get stroppy when they have to deal with other large groups (unless the other groups maybe book the upstairs part)? And that the Thursday crowd consists of people that some of the Barbefolk (well, okay, Haus, anyway) have been rude about in the past (before ever meeting them, though)?

I mean, not that anyone can prevent you guys from showing up then if you want to, and not that I personally care one way or the other, but I thought you might like to know...

In a case of mistaken identity, two years ago. I appreciate your concern, Kooks, but I'm sure that won't be an issue - who on Earth would be bearing a grudge over such a tiny thing so long ago? Mind you, if anyone is still holding their breath in rage over that, then I think I might steer clear, because I don't hold a tutorial qualification for dealing with people with special emotional needs. Or adult-sized Pampers.

It does seem slightly perverse to crash the Plough, but it might be a marvellous opportunity to meet new people, and I think a chum or two of mine might be there...

13:23 / 16.05.03

No, Haus, no one is in a big rage over it. I should have put a damn smiley face in there if I thought it was needed.

Like I already said, I don't personally care one way or the other. I was just pointing out information that I thought might be pertinent. Particularly about the staff.

15:37 / 16.05.03

hmm, ta Kooksters, i had kinda been hoping for the Louise because it's bigger, but i agree with the Haus (fuck, there's a first) that meeting these people (the WEF?) could be nice, and even if it's nasty and Haus's IRL self gets beaten on and we all have to pile in and help* and there's blood in the gutter by the end of the night then, well, that'll still be cool in its own way i guess.

*not that you'd need help, of course, but just as a kinda Barbiesolidarity thing it'd be kewl.

oh and allegedly The Plough's being used in the next Harry Potter movie. dunno how that's relevant, but you heard it here first.

"Harry Potter and the Flagon of Ale"... hmmm... could be cool.

Just bumping this to say that I'm going to have to cancel. I've got a new job that looks like its going to run to 7 every night and it starts tomorrow.

I'm tremendously sorry bout this, I hope I haven't put people out too much.

But... but... i cancelled my round-the-world-trip for this. Oh Pooootus...

nay worries, sah, um, might we reschedule? Or didja just want to leave it 'till the next meet?

pointless and uncalled for

20:15 / 19.05.03

Probably best to erchedule as the next meet seems destined to take place at a film I will be watching on a downloaded version.

I'll see how the job pans out and decide when would be a good time. In the mean time could people suggest rough availablility.

Second week of June would be better... (but not the 11th cos there's a Conflict gig so I'll be punking out).
