STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

The board has been pretty quiet of late, so I've been wondering whether to do this, but, hell, a toe in the water - post here if anyone fancies going for a goodbye drink. Sunday 20 October.

Sunday? The 20th? The day when I can get a free lift up to London with my parents? And stay the nite with my sis afterwards? You fucking shitting me??

I'll be there, or I'll break things. Cool for you?

08:21 / 11.10.02

Wahey! It's my week off and everything! Yeah, cool!
Beer must be done before you go zooming off anywhere. Them's the rules.

08:35 / 11.10.02

Wahey indeed! I'll be there. Any idea where?

08:35 / 11.10.02

Sounds fun. D'you have a place in mind, SFD?

for sure, SFD. pick your spot....

12:03 / 11.10.02

possibly not too good an idea, bengali- I picked my spot when I was a kid and there was, like, pus everywhere...

Oh, Stoatie, do you have to?

Yes, I'll come along.

that

12:39 / 11.10.02

I'll be there...

13:51 / 11.10.02

I'll be there...

14:01 / 11.10.02

Oh, this is looking nice! Plenty of people to get embarassingly drunk with. I thought everyone had disappeared.

As to where - I was tempted to demand people come to a local in Stokey, which is plenty big enough and sells excellent beer very, very cheaply, but I know some of you don't like the whole bus thing, so I'll think again. The Pillars of Hercules is very nice and central, although it might involve climbing over tables to talk to people. I have reluctantly decided against the Black Cap in Camden - I've had some incredibly tacky times there, but a gay pub is probably inappropriate?

I'll think on.

15:26 / 11.10.02

somewhere mixed-ish? if can we trust straight 'lithers to behave?

The Return Of Rothkoid

16:17 / 11.10.02

Fuck it, SFD: do the Stokey meet!

I won't be there.

Sorry. But my excuse is probably a bit better than most. Sigh.

Will PM you really soon, I promise.

16:26 / 11.10.02

Just got a load of pictures developed, there's a lovely one of Rothkoid and Cherry, looking in opposite directions at the Jorene Celeste looking bored and tired, I am so David Hockney...

But I haven't got a thing to wear...

I'll be the naked, fat, middle aged, Scottish git then. Black Cap would have got my vote and it is more accessible to those of living in the Deep Sarf, but it will be your call, shortfabulousdyke. I'm just pleased I got my ass down here in time.

We should have been going back up to Edinburgh that weekend to sort out letting the flat there but we can't afford the tickets. Ha! Every cloud has a fluffy pink fun fur lining...

Stokey works for me on semi-nostalgia grounds ... love it round there...

05:48 / 12.10.02

Stokey works for me on a laziness basis. But I do have a bus pass.

07:18 / 12.10.02

Nowhere more than 500 yards from my front door works for me, but since it's you SFD I'm sure I can drag my protesting body all the way to London.

11:26 / 12.10.02

ONE- I'm lazy TWO- I'm naive THREE- I learnt to spell naive right! (I did, didn't I? I know, no funny "i" thingy- how do you do them??) yay me! FOUR- I'm scared

From this we can see that bussing from Stokey back to the far north to sleep in my sister's kitching will be mucho no funno, so is there someone nearby who is going who can give me some cheap foam padding to lay my sleeping body on? Please? I won't whine for, like... an hour. Or something.

11:53 / 12.10.02

Hmm. It seems rather selfish to head for N16. I'm going on a fact finding mission to The Hobgoblin on Monday - which is very near a tube station and also within staggering distance of the magical 253 bus route, so should suit all. It, too, sells marvellous beer, reasonably priced, and plays decent music.

The Black Cap, in contrast, sells rubbishy lager at phenomenal prices and plays shite. The possiblity of running into the woman with the Martina Navratilova tattoo, who grabbed my arse because it was her birthday and she thought she could, may just not be enough to get me back there.

And Camden on a Sunday is rammed full of Jawa children in hooded Marilyn Manson shirts and baggy jeans.

Will report after Monday.

20:08 / 12.10.02

SFD: Sounds good, and anywhere near a tube station - I'm sure - is good for a lot of us.

I clench my fists in pouty, angsty teen frustraton at life! I'm really not sure I can actually make this (tho don't worry, I will hurt things in recompence) cos, like... WORK! and MONEY! and MORE WORK! and LESS MONEY!

So if everyone can drink 8 units of whisky and act like you're about to vomit for six hours in my honour, that'd be the bomb.

ONLY NICE THINGS

08:13 / 14.10.02

I'll certainly do my best to make it - are we talkign afternoon or evening?

Have a good time in the South-West, would like to be there but I have a lecture on Monday morning (annoying since I'm in London Wed to maybe sat), hope you enjoy sitting on your rock and writing and observing the sea or sommat.

Bear

14:22 / 14.10.02

I'll be there wherever that might be...

angel

15:20 / 14.10.02

I may have to drag an Australian friend with me, but I'll definately try and get along!

captain piss

19:37 / 14.10.02

should definitely be along

20:02 / 14.10.02

Sure she'll post herself, but SFD was saying today that as some people are coming down/up to london for the day, starting in the afternoon would be nice... and I've been agitating for the Black Cap, and my evil wiles seem to be working...

I'm planning to be there in a not-sure-what-day-it-is tentative kinda way. Other events are calling me, but i've managed to get the voices to stop. I think.

Alternatively, I may just send my cleavage as my representative.

22:20 / 14.10.02

Evil wiles win every time - the Black Cap it is from 3pm on Sunday. It's a queer pub, but is often pretty mixed, and it's right near Camden Town tube station.

Pin - no need to break things. Just turn up, young whippersnapper.

The Return Of Rothkoid

22:37 / 14.10.02

Detachable cleavage?!

Again, hugs for SFD, by proxy and aether.

06:30 / 15.10.02

For those of you who may need it, a map to the pub can be found here.

06:53 / 15.10.02

Thanks Tez - I should've thought of that! There's a really nice terrace in the pub, too, but I doubt the weather will be up to sitting out there.

08:51 / 15.10.02

Hmmm, is 'Detachable Cleavage' the sequel to This?
