Yes, little do they know that you've lured me into your elderly clutches with Psychic TV Live albums and six stellas for a fiver.

Can we all prepare compilation/mix CDs for each other?

Exchanging c. 30x30=900 cds would be administratively burdensome but would help break the ice.

I came to last week's one, so I'm barred from this.

Tho I feel I should go along and make John feel better because then he wont be the oldest.

I can recommend sending John an "are you there" text message from an unknown number as a way to spot him at the bar. Either that or look for the table with a disproportionate amount if Guiness drinkers.

:D

Get the 149 bus. Landmarks, anyone? I can never remember what's south and what's north in relation to there, but if you see Nandos on the right, you've gone slightly too far.

Ideally get off at the crossroads of Dalston Lane and Balls Pond Road. Or get off at Dalston Kingsland station and walk back...

I have decided (for now at least) that I will be going despite fears of complete social awkwardness.

I'll be the one who looks underage.

I am really sorry to be missing this. I can't imagine anything more amusing than tipping the jar with you sarcastic bastards.:D

If you get really nervous, just use another Dissensus user's name. Go through the member list and find someone who hasn't posted for a while. Then, if you bottle it, everyone will think that it's THAT person who's deeply social awkward, not you.

Coming from the south:

Basically you are going up Kingsland Road / A10 which starts in Shoreditch with the railway bridge overhead and places like Herbal, Anda the bridge etc on your right. Then up through Haggerston with estates on your left, Geffrye museum on your right.

Big fuck off Oxfam on the right just before Dalston Junction.

Dalston Junction itself is a big crossroads with Balls Pond Road on the left and Dalston Lane on the right. I think there is a nail bar on the top right corner.

Things which indicate you've gone too far (left window): Rio Cinema, Dalston Kingsland BR station.

Things which indicate you've gone too far (right window): Centreprise books (grey frontage), Tesco Metro where a garage used to be (with forecourt etc), Nandos.

so we'll have at least twenty padraigs by my reckoning. things could get confusing, especially if the real one turns up.

"i'm padraig!"
"NO, i'm padraig" etc etc

Yeah just look out for the speccy OAP giant who is ogling cheerleaders and brandishing rubbish industrial records. :rolleyes:

Thats how I managed to spot you as you rolled your Granny trolley full of Stella down Berwick St.!
