Why is it in Holloway this year?

at the request of mr wetherspoon, i believe.

 

[easy g]

I'll try and be there...haven't been for a couple of years

 

[kea]

well, every year i say i'm going and then every year i either miss it, or am in a rush so i can't make the u75 meet-up.
so yes, i'm going this year - whether i turn up is quite another matter tho

(there IS a u75 meet-up isn't there?)

 

[Pilgrim]

I should be going if I can find the cash.

Hope to see some of you there.

Well the old location was just almost TOO working class y'know? We couldn't discuss things for having to fight off the swathes of normal people just wandering through the area.

We know youd rather have stuff in a students union though flim.

 

[oisleep]

will be a busy weekend

 

[mk12]

I would - but I can't.

 

[oisleep]

 

[mk12]

I know I know. I'll miss you too.

I just wondered to be honest. I heard rumours ULU had raised prices significantly for everything.

I don't care where it is. I always intend to go. I used to walk past it at Conway Hall every year when I was a student and lived in Gt Ormond St. This year I'll be in Prague though.

 

[oisleep]

are you sending a video message?

what stopped you stopping and walking into the event? why have you always intended to go, and then bowled straight past?

 

[mk12]

are you sending a video message?

I will if I can get this damn camera to work. [bangs camera on table]

 

[Pickman's model]

I know I know. I'll miss you too.

perhaps if you took some shooting lessons?

but an attitude like that, that'll just be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

At the time, I didn't have any interest in anarchism or anarchist ideas. It was meeting a Greek anarchist at LSE that got me interested.

So I didn't mean 'always intended'. I meant, 'have intended for a while'.

Apols for the confusion!

 

[flimsier]

I also thought it was just for selling books and nowt else!

Is it not then? What else takes place?

Is it not then? What else takes place?

it's a secret. pay me a fiver and i'll let you into the secret cabal.

 

[flimsier]

Is it not then? What else takes place?

It's basically an anarchist marxism, iykwim.

How skint are you mate? You want £3.50 off me on the Paul Foot thread and now £5 off Matt...

 

[mk12]

OK. With Sparts and all?

 

[Pickman's model]

it's a fuck of a lot cheaper than what the swappie scum want off matt, and at least we let him keep his soul.

 

[flimsier]

OK. With Sparts and all?

No, the Sparts don't bother.

 

[mk12]

Oh, that's good.

I was actually looking forward to going to this.

what the hell does he want £3.50 for, why such an uneven amount
