Hello chaps!

It's that time again: for drinking alcohol, eating cake* and talking about music & nonsense. We'd love you to join us for the next London Mingle on Friday 6th Jan.

Newbies warmly welcomed, always lovely to meet new people. Drop me a line if you're thinking about coming for the first time!

Venue details and sign-up sheet in the comments.

Mine's usually a sparkling water. Suspect I'll need a double vodka or two at this one.

I've just eaten a big spoonful of extra thick double cream. On its own. Because I love it.

Also, I love a good steak, and my very favourite thing about it is a lovely crispy bit of fat.

These aren't things I eat very often, but there's that delicious frisson when I do.

So... what's your favourite naughty nibble?

Hello chums!

Things are a bit stressful at the moment (understatement). I could do with listening to something lovely to raise my spirits. Not sure if I want bubble-bath-like soothing music, or something rousing, but I'd love to know what you play when life is drizzling on you.

So. What songs cheer you up?

Then today's your lucky day.

We've been looking for a new home for a while... and now we have one. Well, we had a new home but now we have a new new home. Oh, I'm confusing myself. Anyway. More details in the comments. Hope you can join us.

Mine's usually a sparkling water. I might let you buy me a cranberry juice and vodka this time though, turns out I'm not allergic to all alcohol any more, hurray...

Hello chums

Thought you might like to know that the splendid El Hombre Malo of this parish will be returning to London on Sat August 27th with The Primevals.

I saw them last time they were down and they were completely brilliant.

Would be lovely to get a crowd of London Minglers together to show some support for our Scottish brethren!

You can get your ticket here and I'll see you at the bar.

Hello you!
Do you like beer, cake and talking about music? (OF COURSE YOU DO)
Do you live within shouting distance of That London? If so, then please vote on the best date for the next Mingle.

Poll and more info attached. New faces promised a warm welcome (and CAKE), come join us.

Hellooo

KatyG and I are going to see Ron Sexsmith & Anna Calvi tomorrow night at the Royal Festival Hall in London (doors 7.30). There's one spare ticket (possibly two) going for £20 (face value). Anyone want to join us? (Bring your own Tangfastics).

Cheers

Helloo! Do you like drinking ale? Eating cake? Talking nonsense? The Londonish Massive are meeting up Friday 10th June and we're hoping you'll be there.

If you've not been to a London mingle before, then please join us! We've already got a number of new faces promising to come to this one, so how about you too?

All the details in the post below... along with the sign-up sheet...

See you then. Mine's a sparkling water.

The time has come for a career change.

Primary school teaching would appear to be the perfect job for me*. (My reasoning appears in the comments if you're interested)

I'd appreciate some advice though on what it's really like from the inside... thing is, I know a number of secondary school teachers, but not primary school teachers. Also, all the teachers I know have always been teachers, if you see what I mean. I'd be re-training to teach in my mid-30s, and would love to know about how that's worked out for anyone else here.

*OK, it's my almost perfect job. But sadly I have had to accept that no-one's going to pay me to bake cakes & biscuits, or play the piano / ukulele all day.

This made me chuckle, maybe you'll like it too. Graffiti instructing people on the respectful way to cross Abbey Road.

Hellooo!

Come hither and vote on when we next meet up for real ale, cake, savoury delights, lots of serious chat about music and lots of silly banter about everything else.

If you've not been to a mingle before, then we'd love to see you. Newbie attendees / posters / lurkers are all warmly welcolmed with open arms (and cake).

Right, vote vote vote. Poll will stay open until after the weekend(ish).

See you in June!

PS and I intend to serenade you with my wonderful ukulele. Thanks again.

UPDATE: The poll is now closed and the date for the next mingle chosen as Friday 10th June. Looking forward to seeing you all there and apologies to those who can't make the next date... Lunaman, Ganglesprocket, Joe, you'll all be missed.

Righty-ho! 'Tis nearly the time again for the Londonish Massive to meet up, drink up a pint or three and munch up a bit of cake.

Looking forward to seeing everyone... and if you've not been to a London mingle before, then please join us! We've already got a number of new faces promising to come to this one, so how about you too?
