How much do Londoners drink?

Posted by anonymous about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 59 responses

My mate used to say that as long as you don’t drink more than your doctor, you’ll be alright. And so far I’ve suffered no ill-effects even though I generally get through a bottle of wine a night, occasionally preceeded by a pint or perhaps two. A rare session in the pub will see me down no more tha...

Where's the best place to watch the Marathon?

A few people I know are running it this year, and I’d like to support them. By which I mean alternately shouting jocular abuse and enjoying a restorative beer in the sun. Are there any spots along the route that won’t be absolutely crammed with people? Also (I’ve not been down before) what are...

Fed up with London Summer - suggestion for weekend break?

Posted by Admiral about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 2 responses

My holiday plan this year was to take some time off and hang out in London – as we were supposed to be having a ‘heat-wave summer’. Well, that didn’t work. And now work committments have meant that I can’t go take any time off until October. So, and I know this isn’t strictly abou...

Are there any proper Flamenco nights in central London?

Posted by whenthiswasfields over 2 years ago
Last active about 1 year ago 2 responses

Well, I’ve got nothing to tell you (other than that the beer in the Porterhouse in Covent Garden is probably the nicest I’ve had in quite some time – particularly the stout and porter), but I’d like to ask readers if they know of any flamenco nights in north or central London. Proper ones, mi...

Venues needed for new cover band

Posted by yossarian about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 5 responses

My friend’s band has finally reached a giggable state and need to find places to play. I know plenty of venues for original bands but other than bog standard pubs I don’t really know of any decent venues looking for bands playing rock/metal covers. Any suggestions, recommendations for venues or good ...

The Beer Train

So in Time Out today, Michael Hodges tells us his tales of when he’s fallen asleep on the tube home after drinking excess booze (usually ending up in Morden, poor chap). I’ve lived in London for seven years, and have in that spent many hours travelling to and fro on the Northern Line, coming home to B...

Why is beer now always served in branded glasses?

I may be imagining things but recently it seems most pubs now serve beer in the correctly branded glass – before it seemed any glass would do – what has changed here?

Aereogramme's last London show

Last active about 1 year ago 18 responses

Any takers? One of my favourite bands are playing one last London show before they call it a day on August 29th at the Luminaire. A fine live band and it’s sure to be an emotional show. It would be nice to have some people along to share the fun and beer. Tickets here and band page here.

If you’ve seen the film, perhaps you’d like to have a go? The 8th Day UK Dodgeball Championships are being held on the 31st March at Play on Sports, Canary Wharf. You just need a team of 6, a sense of humour and some fancy dress, and you’re away! Check out http://www.8thdayuk.com/Default.aspx?ta...

Since the ole global warming ting has got us in its grasp, should we consider a big old ramshackle picnic type event in the summer in some park or other? As an FCL do?

St Georges Day Fun, anyone?

Posted by faith about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 5 responses

In the town that I live in, we had a Parade for St.Georges Day today. The old ladies made sticky buns, the kids came out with painted faces, there were raffles aplenty, beer and a bouncy castle. The parade was excellent- a troupe of hells angels, classic cars, the horse rangers, a miserable looking group of SJA p...

Would a Dad's FCL meetup be too cheesy?

Posted by unknown about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 7 responses

A bunch of dad’s with a night off from nappy duty, talking about life in the trenches over a few rounds of golden cold. The veterans can give the newbies some hard won advice and so on. Would a bunch of dad’s really be able to get a night off for that? What say?

More to life than the pub?

Last active about 1 year ago 10 responses

I am becoming guilty of spending all of my time in the pub and pretty much nothing else at the moment. So, in an attempt to get out of the drinking and wasting time vicious cycle, who fancies doing something cultural/educational with me? I vote for the Imperial War Museum first (its my fave), who is in? I̵...

Is anyone from here hopping up the Edinburgh for the Fringe this year? I’m hoping to pop up at the beginning (5th Aug) for a few days maybe. Who wants to hook up when we’re up there? I know there are a couple of peeps who are in shows up there (I’m talking about you Mr.Lark with Tony Blaire, ...

I’m going to watch A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Saturday – anyone seen it yet or planning to see it? Obviously to balance out all that culture I’ll be heading to The Intrepid Fox afterwards for a few pints of lager and a fight….

Hello, It has been decided (by me) that the next FC “let’s get drunk!” event will take place on 27th July. Do you want to come along? Do you have any suggestions for a pub? Do you have a problem with the date? (I don’t care if you have a problem with the date) I’ll make a...
