The link below is offering half-price tickets to zoo lates on 7th and 14th June. OH and I just booked two for the 14th. They're 12.50 each. Getting drunk in close proximity to tigers, what could possibly go wrong?

Offer ends at midnight tonight (Saturday)

Ah f3ck, saw this too late! A few of us from boards went last summer, it's a great way to spend an evening for sure!

I think you can get them for all other Fridays @ £15 via the main Time Out site anyway.

I definitely plan on heading to it this summer but convincing friends is gonna be a nightmare.

I'd happily attend a boards zoo meetup.

LadyMayBelle,

I'm coming to London for the Summer on the 15th of June and would like to go to the Irish conversation group while I'm there. I couldn't find the dates on the mind yourself website so could you let me know the details of the one after the 5th which I presume will be on the 19th?

Thanks!

LadyMayBelle · 03-06-2013 12:55pm

I will let you know indeed! The next on is on Wednesday 5th alright, so Im assuming the one after will be the 19th, I will post back here after this weeks meeting to let you know! Hope there will be a few more than last meeting, but it was fun all the same, and people were lovely.

Zoo boards trek might be fun again this summer...am thinking about that and also a picnic some weekend.

Offer has been extended and is still there for 12.50 each. We're going the 14th if anyone wants to make a group excursion out of it

Jeez, that can't be a year ago already! Where does the time go? It seems like only a few weeks ago that we were posing like meerkats

I think I'm going to take you up on that. I've never properly visited the zoo!

Annoying. After getting to Postal Service think they are one of the few bands I've been listening for a while that I haven't seen.

bollox. i had it in my head about 2 hours ago that i have to get myself a ticket for that.

S.M.B. · 06-06-2013 1:29pm

Just so they can focus on recording their new album?

That's a bit of a dick move.

LadyMayBelle · 10-06-2013 8:10pm

In response to those enquiring about the irish group, change in day and time for next meet up:

REMINDER Irish Language Conversation Don’t forget to come along to our Irish Language Conversation group for some fun, light-hearted Irish chit chat! Please note there has been a slight amendment to our next session:

THURSDAY 20th JUNE, 6:30PM-8:30PM AT MIND YOURSELF’S LIVING ROOM

exiledelbows · 24-06-2013 11:02am

Anyone fancy this on Saturday?

http://ticketing.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/silencio-73399

Basically it looks like a Silent Disco spliced with old B-movies with a Twin Peaks vibe. Use the code 'SEEITFIRST' and it's only a tenner.

Fysh · 24-06-2013 2:30pm

The awesome Anamanaguchi are coming to The Garage on the 15th of September. I've already booked my ticket, but if anyone else is interested in heading along let me know

LadyMayBelle · 25-06-2013 8:33pm

For those of you interested in a a community that people often find from joining a church, why not come join us at the next Sunday Assembly..

http://sundayassembly.com/

https://m.facebook.com/TheSundayAssembly?id=293513464091842&_rdr

It's a godless congregation that had over 600 attendees in June.. Next one is on July 7th in York Hall Bethnal Green.The topic is 'Stargazing', last one was 'Happiness'...

There are also small groups starting round London, so people can get to know each other, with topics like 'what inspires you' and suggestions taken from the Action for Happiness people like 'compliment three people this week'.. I'm heading to one tonight so will see how that goes...

Will be going again in July, Interesting way to spend an hour on a Sunday !

*plus I win bonus points for telling the mammy I went to mass

A couple of things worth noting: Andrew Maxwell aka totally not the offspring of Bosco and Charles Haughey[s/] has a Work In Progress show coming up in early July. Also, Rich Hall's Hoedown is returning to the Soho theatre from the 15th to the 20th of July.

What did ya think?

Really enjoyed it myself. Only the 2nd time seeing them and have had the new album on repeat pretty much.

Liked the venue also. First time there.

this looks good, the rich hall bit that is. the otis lee crenshaw stuff is hilarious so i'm presuming it's along those lines?

there's a load of good comedy around the place in the next few weeks with comedians warming up for edinburgh, and it's all pretty cheap too.

paul chowdhry is on in greenwich at the end of july. his old routine on people in the east end is hilarious

Brilliant show, I missed the Brixton shows a few years ago (had a ticket but can't remember why I couldn't go in the end) so first time seeing them. Blown away really, I love their music but was worried they'd maybe be a bit downbeat as a live act, but far from it. Great energetic peformance. My gf wouldn't have been overly familiar with their songs bar a listen or two to the new album but she really got into it too, which says it all i think.

I like the Roundhouse as a venue a lot, been there a few times before and will be back again in October for Johnny Marr. Only downside of the night was taking a wrong turn when walking to Kentish Town after the gig and ending up back where we started

hey there's a science exhibition on this week near charing cross, looks like some interesting exhibits and talks! http://sse.royalsociety.org/2013/

iambrazil · 05-07-2013 1:34pm
