We usually do... - the British Museum and Atlantis books are both within striking distance and the comic museum is a few doors down from the plough...

but aside from this, I think i might have to leave quite early to go to the Scissor Sisters gig in Trafalgar Square...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

11:39 / 12.09.06

Me too, so an early start would be great!

Our Lady Has Left the Building

11:49 / 12.09.06

Turns out I'm not working, so a mid-afternoon thing would be great, I can do this, see you, then skip off to the Scissor Sisters gig mebbe...

3 pm?

3pm is about right for me.

I'll probably not be there until about 5 unless I can get a dogsitter, but be there I shall.

Regrettable Juvenilia

18:38 / 12.09.06

I imagine if I start drinking at 3, then by the time I get to Trafalgar Square I might decide it seems "quite a good idea" to climb on stage with "the Sisters", in order to ask Ana Matronic if she remembers an email exchange we had a couple of years ago, and whether that means we are BESTEST FRIENDS.

And then on to It Came From The Sea!

Squirmelia

08:17 / 13.09.06

What time are people likely to be in the pub until?

Quantum

13:20 / 13.09.06

I think I may pop up to the big smoke to say hello, see you folk there. Don't know if I can make ICFTS tho' having to return to Bright town.

mondo a-go-go

16:47 / 13.09.06

Go and visit the Cartoon Museum -- it's only two doors down from the Plough and it's lovely. ('Course, I am biased)

I should make some of this, but I will be running around London looking at Open Houses all day, and may still be going to a birthday party in the evening....

Mon Oncle Ignatius

18:41 / 13.09.06

I'm at a wedding (though very local to me) from Saturday evening onward, so it might not be feasible to escape to the Plough for me after all. A shame.

Evil Scientist

19:40 / 13.09.06

Just to confirm the location: That's The Plough on Museum Street near Tottenham Court Road station oui? (It's the only one I can find and is in the same general area as Gosh Comics so most likely that, but always good to check).

I'm in. Will get there about half-three and constantly scream the word "Barbelith" until quieted with alcohol.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

21:35 / 13.09.06

Yeah, that's the fella.

We'll be the geeky wankers. You'll spot us easily.

Tabitha Tickletooth

09:53 / 15.09.06

Okay - I'm going to try to come along for this because it sounds really fun. Heard from Changes (infrequently, these day) Brigade who said that he might also try but wasn't sure.

Anna I hope you are feeling recovered and planning to come along, although the meeting time should mean that I won't require your madly impressive night-bus-finding skills.

Squirmelia

10:20 / 15.09.06

If I turn up at 8, will anyone be left in the pub? I'm having problems trying to fit in the bunker (and obviously, the apocalypse), a friend's birthday celebrations and the Barbelith meet, but hopefully shall manage to.

Brigade du jour

10:33 / 15.09.06

I shall indeed try and make it, but I'm now not even sure I'll be coming to the West End tomorrow, due to piffling concerns about being broke until payday. Honestly, when will I learn to budget?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

10:42 / 15.09.06

I can probably get you a pint, Mr Brigade, if that helps.

Brigade du jour

10:54 / 15.09.06

Aww bless ya Stoats! I'll be scooting around trying to get hold of my Scissor Sisters tickets in time for the gig so I'll see what I can do anyway. Onward!

Quantum

18:37 / 15.09.06

See you folk tomorrow then- Squirm, I prolly won't be there much longer than eight (five hours drinking is enough these days for my elderly liver) but I don't know about anyone else.

trouble at bill

11:32 / 16.09.06

shd be there about 6, so hopefully will catch the young 'uns before they go off 'gigging', as i believe they call it...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

21:13 / 16.09.06

Ah, that was fun, though I gave up on going to the gig, as I have an awful headache.

Nice meeting you, Mist and elene!

elene

09:09 / 17.09.06

Nice meeting you too, Stoatie, and Squirmelia, Mist, Bill and ... and ... it was lovely. (I drank rather a lot though.)

Brigade du jour

17:32 / 17.09.06

Stoatie, you didn't go to the gig because you had a headache? Uncanny, that's the same reason I didn't go! And, having come here straight from the Scissor Sisters thread, boy am I pissed off with my body today!

Mind you, at least you made it to the pub - clearly stoats are composed of sterner stuff than brigades!

Hope your headache's gone now, by the way. I slept with Prince Codeine last night.

Mono

22:12 / 17.09.06

Shame, Brigs..it would have been so nice to see you. It was great to catch up with everyone and so nice to meet Mist and elene!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:20 / 17.09.06

I slept with Prince Codeine last night.

BASTARD!!!

He told me he was all mine.

No wonder I still felt shit this morning.

Quantum

19:45 / 18.09.06

I left my tee shirt in the pub because I was drunk, poo!

pointless & uncalled for

20:02 / 18.09.06

You could do two things here. Either call the pub and go and pick it up and result in much T-shirt joy. Or, and call me crazy for suggesting this. Wait until the T-shirt gets handed to a homeless person, thereafter we can start a thread where we stalk the hobo in question and post pictuers to a special thread.

Mistoffelees

21:57 / 18.09.06

Hello! Thanks everyone for the replies, the free drink and actually showing up!

Is it ok to post that one photo or a link to the picture? It´s got stoat, evil scientist, quantum and me (I believe...).

And Quantum, I found that t-shirt and will send one to you if you pmail me an address.

Evil Scientist

07:35 / 19.09.06

I'm happy for my leering mug to be plastered over the net.

I woke up in the back of a car on Sunday morning for reasons which are strange and confusing even to me. Still, it was a bloody good laugh meeting everyone and I now have the finest piece of t-shirt apparel in all of Christendom.

Mistoffelees

08:42 / 19.09.06

Oh, and Flyboy is on the photo, too.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

12:12 / 19.09.06

Fine by me!

Regrettable Juvenilia

15:08 / 19.09.06

I tentatively agree...

Mistoffelees

18:44 / 19.09.06

I got Quantum´s okay, too. So here it is, enjoy!
