the all new 2005 who's taking a trip to holloway thread

[Col_Buendia]

Latecomer to thread asks - WHEN is the urban meet-up? I'm not trawling through 7 pages of shaking fists and RW jibes

There's a few of us coming up from Cardiff for the day, just to give the met something to follow around and let the rest of yous enjoy yerselves

Where will yas be and when? If I can work up the enthusiasm, like...

 

[coffeemachine]

if people want to talk politics in a formal but convivial setting (i know not really the sort of thing you crave at the bookfair but..) there's always the Anarchist Assembly. 1pm - 2pm, in the dome room.

A bit of a hefty task but I'm sure it'll make the refreshments consumed afterwards all the more worthwhile.

those of us coming from Dublin will be leaving soon to start the long paddle accross the water .... we too would appreciate a where and when ... even just a where would be nice. Can a londoner suggest a pub?

OI that's the libcom meet, not the grown up one

I thought it'd been decided to combine them?

 

[Chuck Wilson]

Hasn't monty got a large squat nearby that he could do out for the day?

 

[Herbert Read]

for fucks sake when is the meet up

i think it's a mad idea, have you ever been in that pub on a saturday?

 

[gurrier]

12 pages and still a seeming failure to organise the proverbial piss up in a brewery (-owned pub)

Can't we draft a vanguard in temporarily to sort it?

 

[Top Dog]

ffs you lot...

well as r'n'b knows it is with great regret and reluctance that would i tear myself away from a wetherspoons outlet at any time , but in such exceptional circumstances can I propose an alternative of the Big Red bar on Holloway Road (at the Nags head junction 200 metres north)? Its got a cracking jukebox, decent (not too expensive) beer and all the cowboy americana kitsch you could hope for... anyone up for it?

and anyone up for sorting out an urban line dancing troupe?

 

[catch]

splitter, external faction etc.

Aye, I thought I was late to the dance, but apparently it does seem like dozens of pages of Mr Men piccies does not a revolution make. No wonder the FIT team don't reckon there's anything worth filming at the bookfair

So do you reckon there's still time left to organise the meet-up for the 2006 Bookfair? I propose the Dempsey's pub opposite Cardiff Castle...

the thing is - and it's something i would have hoped that people would have noticed in earlier years - that @ists will congregate in the coronet - and likely this other pub mentioned a few posts above - from opening time onwards. why we need to get all fucking authoritarian and fucking set a fucking time for something which will happen on and off all bloody afternoon's beyond me.

anyway, i'll almost certainly be in the pub from 1405, holding court in the coronet.

Cos the likes of me will only recognise about 2 posters from this list.

But if it is all about avoiding me, fire ahead <whistles insouciantly>

so that's you i should be able to spot...

but what about everyone else?

 

[butchersapron]

Have any of these pubs got a tv for the scores?

 

[Top Dog]

not unless you're a-coming to the hoedown at the big red rodeo

the red thing td mentioned should...

 

[Top Dog]

Have any of these pubs got a tv for the scores?

Big Red - yay. Coronet - nay.

Also remember that the scum are at home that day and the pubs in holloway will be crawling with gooners... another reason to keep away from the coronet

by "the scum" i assume you mean spurs?

last time arsenal played spurs, i saw a ton of filth outside the coronet, waiting for some pasty-faced spurs crew to emerge blinking into the evening light...

 

[Top Dog]

no pickster... the 'gooners' are arsenal... spurs are the 'yids'. I thought you followed the football?

the pubs in holloway are always filled with gooners - it's widely known as an arsenal area. i thought you meant spurs were at home and you were pointing out the bloody obvious about who drinks in holloway every day.

aw!

yr all flustered!

have a pint!

 

[catch]

mmm, abbot.

If there's a match on, and no TV in Wetherspoons, that makes it a good choice no?

If all the pubs are rammed, and it's warm outside, we could always take the 271 up to Waterlow Park/Highgate cemetery with some tinnies

 

[Top Dog]

aw!

cheers! your round again...

 

[butchersapron]

No more mister men.
