I'm 31, Tourettes is 34 I think? Jed is 30. It's cool, there's a fair few of us oldies.

Loads of folks my age! I'm 30 too but still look younger. I'm a northerner also. Maybe will join you guys in the future for a link up.

You don't have to STOP them (a pretty girl is always nice), it's just that you have no excuse if it were Tash posting them I'd understand (as will you when you meet him) but a grown ass man has no excuse. I shall have to assess your level of maturity before issuing you with a gif-license.

And yes, you're probably too old for Paramore just like I'm too old for My Chemical Romance and Los Camps.

What about me, do I have an excuse to post pointless gifs

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Ok guys Mum's stepping in, can we please keep the discussion to meet up stuff? If you want to talk about music take it back to the BritGaf thread yeah?

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Music is the shit Jed, any like minded people engaging in discussion will likely gravitate towards it.

I'm listening to The Coral right now, so lush.

Music thread? Music thread.

I've said it a few times and I'll say it again, GAF needs an Indie/Alt community thread. Almost every other music style has one (lol popGAF), we need a place to have these sprawling band convos that isn't the main BritGAF thread.

Musha for mod 2013! Free J Tourettes and IamMikeSide!

We went so off topic I actually thought this what the BritGaf thread at one point.

 

[BGBW]

Well talking about music, I hope you lot are memorising the words for your big karaoke solo. Everyone will have to do at least one song.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

We're just sneakily trying to get back into the OT by the backdoor.

ANYWAY on topic - where shall we head in London this time? Do any Londoners know some proper decent backalley BOOZERS we could go to? Preferably ones that don't cost a fiver a pint. And it looks like an alt-leaning club night would also go down a treat. Or at least cheesy oldies.

 

[Xun]

A good list! Should be a good'un, as always.

J Tourettes says any Sam Smith pubs are decent and cheap.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

In JT we trust. MeatMarket was the boooomb.

 

[Messofanego]

There totally should be a meet-up for The World's End. Looks brill.

MeatMarket is amazing.

http://www.hamburger-me.com/p/best-burgers-in-london-top-10.html

Somebody pointed me to this list a few months ago, and I ended up trying Patty and Bun and MeatMarket (so far)... Both were the best burgers I have ever eaten (MM, slightly better).

 

[Musha_Soturi]

So does anyone else have any suggestions to where we should go?

 

[Bazza]

Dont really know London but im pretty much up for anywhere.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Hey, it's your stomping ground Musha! I was hoping you'd have this covered.

I seriously don't have a clue, I haven't been to London in years, and never on a night out.

And yeah, as Bazza said, I'm up for anywhere really. But for reference:

Scummy rock dives > pretentious wine bars

 

[BGBW]

Don't want to sound too boring but a place one can easily talk would be preferable.

It will be tough to get a table at any of the MEAT franchise restaurants. The group will be too big.

 

[CyclopsRock]

I'll be there for youuuuu

 

[eggybob]

Isn't there a video game cafe in soho?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

[Darren870]

Didn't we say we were going to do Shoreditch once?

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Yeah that question was obviously aimed at the people who live and go out in London.

I remember shorty mentioning the gamer place in soho, I'll have a google see if it's up and running

 

[SKINNER!]

Apparently, there's another one opening next month according to Eurogamer.net

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-13-uks-first-esports-bar-to-open-in-london

EDIT: Oh wait, seems like you can only watch video game tournament streams; not play in them. hmmmm.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

I found Loading's fb page so I've asked if the Soho venue is up and running for the general public.

Didn't we say we were going to do Shoreditch once?

We did, any specific venue in mind?

 

[bobs...onGaf]

So does anyone else have any suggestions to where we should go?

This place seemed fun:

http://www.bouncepingpong.com/

Its a mashup between a bar and ping pong place. I wondered in at the end of a night once, it seemed pretty different, didnt hang around for long though. Everyone seemed to be playing drunk ping pong which looked hilarious but the website makes it seem far more family orientated so maybe that was just a weird night for them.

Im up for coming along to the meet up if I can!

 

[DSN2K]

yeah I'll be there!

 

[nickcv]

in!

 

[Untrust Us]

Wow @ big list of attendees in the OP...! I think I can make it to this, if you guys aren't fully booked up?

 

[CyclopsRock]

[NinjaBoiX]

[runlikehell]

Musha, put me down as a definite, also looking for a place to stay or I'll be joining Mike on a bench.

 

[Chinner]

[ConfusedMan09]

I'm going to be in London over summer for a few internships - if you guys can put up with a Northerner for a day, I'm in!

 

[LukeTim]

I do want to come, but it seems like it'd be really overwhelming to meet so many people for the first time all at once.

 

[donkey show]

Only if you want it to be. Everyone's cool peeps at the meetups.

you can ignore most of us if you like it usually breaks down into a few smaller groups as people find conversations that interest them (don't call them cliques, we'll all get banned ). It's really quite chilled out. And then we start dancing awww yeah

 

[LukeTim]

Okay, you can put me down as a definite.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Tickets booked. I should be getting into Kings Cross about 11am on Saturday, and I'm leaving at 6:30pm on Sunday.

I will actually do daytime stuff this year cos I like y'all so much now. Beer in the aprk sounds good to me!

 

[SKINNER!]

I'll probably be up early on Saturday to do touristy shit (Maybe HMS Belfast, Imperial Museum and Tower of London) and then grab a Shake Shack burger before going to the meetup. If anyone wants to join me then they are more than welcome.
