East Dulwich Book Swap - Wednesday 22nd October, 8pm at The Clockhouse

[capt_birdseye]

How dare you insinuate that I am not a real captain?!

[citizenED]

Pistols, (or is is frozen peas?) at dawn, cap'n?

[pros]

hi, good luck with this, excellent idea - i had organised the first southwark freecycle event last weekend & it went down really well, not only because people were given the chance to donate/take things for free, but as importantly, because it was a chance to socialise a little or a lot, depending on how people felt about it.

hope the weather's ok!

[capt_birdseye]

BUMP! It's tonight.

[Keef]

Sorry to be the first drop out, I am really really keen on this idea, but after the weekend I've just had, I can't see myself making it out of the house tonight.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Ah go on Keef. I'm saving a Harlan Coben just for you.

[TillieTrotter]

I've got 2 bags of books, alot of shite, but some worthy ones. See you at 8 :))

[Jah Lush]

Don't be a wuss Keef. I reckon I can easily match you on the caning it over the weekend front. I feel like shite but a few pints in the Clockhouse tonight and we'll be right as ninepence again. Got plenty of books to wade through tonight before I nip down. See you all at 8.

[citizenED]

Oh, Jah, you temptress. We should start another book on "can-Keef-be-persuaded-to-go-to-the-pub-after-a-heavy-weekend"? ?10 says he does.

[Keef]

If this was down to Keef, he'd be there having hair of the dog, but Keef hardly got to see Mrs Keef over the weekend, even though we were at the same wedding (I was playing guitar), so Mrs Keef may not be too keen!

[Jah Lush]

We don't see enough of Mrs Keef either. At least you'll be together, albeit in the pub.

[Keef]

I know, and she is very keen to come to one, but it won't be tonight. Besides, we haven't actually sorted any books out yet, and that is probably going to be quite a big job!

PGC, cheers mate, but I think I probably have all of his except his most recent one.

[TillieTrotter]

Asset, any chance you can pick me up tonight as car in for a service?

[TillieTrotter]

Thanks for calling last night on Capt I had a good old clear out and gained some great reading material for my hols this week. BTW Citz, I can confirm that he is a REAL captain. Full white beard, pipe and one wooden leg!

It would be great if more of you could come to the next one.

[capt_birdseye]

Nice to meet you all too. Some fine swapping went on, still not too sure about that "Chick-lit" book you persuaded me to take home though!

[citizenED]

I'd certainly be up for a future one - just couldn't get out on Monday night - was washing my ego.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thoroughly enjoyed last night, have had my head in Mary Wesley biography all morning.

[Jah Lush]

An enjoyable evening in a fine setting out the front. I came with the specific intention of clearing some space for my overflowing bookshelves and turned up with eight books but left with 13. Hmmm!

[Keef]

Again, I am sorry about yesterday, but feel much better today for having a good nights kip! Am definitely up for the next one though!

[TillieTrotter]

Indulge yourself Capt! You never know you might really enjoy it!

[SteveT]

I hope to get to the next one anyway.

Is it the same venue?

And what day in September?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thought we'd rotate venues. Anyone want to suggest venue and date? Shall we stick to Mondays at 8pm once a month?

[Asset]

I think at the end we decided we were not going to be too regimented about it and just have them occur in a kind of loose way. How about in around a month we resurrect the thread, see who's interested and take it from there.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

sounds cool.

[Marmora Man]

Agree - keep it loose and casual. Was good to meet some faces I knew and a number I didn't. Plus some interesting books.
