Short Notice Post-Work Drink

Regrettable Juvenilia

10:49 / 13.11.03

Some of you may not realise this, but the Barbelith (London) Short Notice Post-Work Drink is something of an institution.

So, anyone up for it? Time: 6.30ish? I will have to bail around 9 in order to watch the season finale of Six Feet Under. Venue: possibly the Plough, but we'd have to occupt it early and be willing to defend ourselves against men in Hellblazer t-shirts. If anyone wants to make an alternative suggestion, I'm flexible as long as it's not the Chandos, the Crown, the Marquis, the John Snow or antwhere else I take an irrational dislike to.

Is that a 'yeah, I'll be there' Sleaze. It better be or I'm going to come after you with my gun. I'm a super-villain now.

And I don't care about the location.

Wish I could, haven't seen anyone in ages but I'm brassic...

When's the next Major Meet? (My new comic hero, hitting shops soon - The Amazing Adventures of Major Meet)

Regrettable Juvenilia

11:56 / 13.11.03

bear, come out and between us I'm sure we can shout you a pint or two. It's not going to be a big night out, I'm not rolling in it myself...

Bear

12:06 / 13.11.03

Yeah I think I might actually, don't need much persuasion

As long as I can work out how to get back to Croydonia.

How about that pub near London Bridge?

There's a tube strike tonight, best to remember that (although it's not all lines right?)

the market porter at lodon bridge does the best pints in london, but is often quite busy

12:17 / 13.11.03

but the plough is probably best for its proximity to comic shops...

Shurely Major Meat?

If I lived in London I'd be there in a flash, but I suppose I'll see y'all at the next megameet/major meat/Barbemoot whatchamacallit. Someone should arrange it soon, Xmas is coming... (when I say 'someone' I'm spelling that F-L-Y-B-O-Y or T-R-Y-P-H-E-N-A, obviously)

Bear

13:19 / 13.11.03

Well I thought Major Meat was a bit obvious and a bit porn star, maybe he could be an ex porn star who fights crime, I'd hate to think what his special powers would be.

Anyway tonight, plans? I can't think by myself I need orders to operate.

I shall enter the Plough at precisely half past 6 this evening in the company of Flyboy. We shall hopefully sit down. We shall await your arrival(s) or perhaps see you at that exact point in time. We shall stay for around two and a half hours at which point we shall exit the building.

Regrettable Juvenilia

13:31 / 13.11.03

Well that place in London Bridge is only good in the summer, I reckon, so unless the Plough is impossible for bear I say we meet there... Anyone else?

Bear

13:33 / 13.11.03

Plough will be fine as long as I can find Waterloo or Victoria which shouldn't be an issue.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Only problem is I finish at 16:30 anyone be around earlier?

sleazenation

13:37 / 13.11.03

the plough it is - oh and flyboy - the place in london bridge you are thiunking of is the george - the market portere is far better...

Regrettable Juvenilia

13:54 / 13.11.03

'phena and I may be there a little early...

Bear

14:02 / 13.11.03

I might have a look in one of those comic shops and pretend I know about comics....

I'll probably be in the pub just after 5 if anyone is around.

Tryphena Absent

14:22 / 13.11.03

Me and Fly are meeting at Gosh at quarter to 6 actually if you want to come along. I need to go buy a Godard biography from Borders and it's Comic Thursday so he'll be browsing and I'll be whining about how nothing I want to read is released this week. Again.

Bear

14:37 / 13.11.03

Not sure where Gosh is but if it's one of the ones on the way to the pub (which I'm actually pretty sure it is) then I'll have a look around and see if I can see you both.

I'm easy to spot I'm wearing my Alfie Moon shirt....

Aargh. I would really like to go, but I habh a codh and am feeling quite tired and stuffed up so I am lamely going to go home and watch bad comedies 'til I fall asleep.

Next time!!

Your all totally Gay, but it was cool - got stuck on the train on my first night out away from central London but then my journey home was excellent - my way home is always fun when I go out on a Barbemeet....
