Well,

This lot are doing it again. I won't say where yet, but I was at the inaugral meeting in their squat (once again in an exclusive west london address) this afternoon. I may have been the only person there in gainful, non-academic, employment *

Basically the idea is an exchange of ideas about all sorts of things. Anyone interested? In particular, if there is any sort of skill you want to pass on, or to learn, then this may be the (highly eccentric) place to be. 3(ish) weeks only. There will be tap dancing!

Not certain I should give the address, suffice to say it's in Bloomsbury.

Any takers?

*I was, however, probably the least well shaven person there

If I ever lost my mind and decided to squad it would be with loose, good-looking, eastern european female illegal immigrant types and not with a bunch of tw@ing hippies? If you're on the inside, tell them to get jobs - from me.

 

[arabianights]

come along old chap, 31 jan out of way then pop here for a pint...

P.S. Nic... "Ms"... how MODERN of you :-0

 

[scose-no-doubt]

With a bunch of stinking hippy student types? That's about as close to hell on earth as I can imagine.

 

[elitejets]

I will pass on the squat, thanks all the same.

Modern is OK. Your "nice" new addition to your signature is a little old-fashioned and misogynistic isn't it?
Reminds me of this:

Nice new addition to sig: Also open to fixed income traders of any kind, as well as decent chaps who know what they're talking about doing anything. If you don't know whether you know what you're talking about, then you don't

Haha you should meet them, would be good fun. I drunkenly abused them 18 months ago but am being more helpful now, I seem to be designated van driver. You could give a talk on accountancy

I'm trying to attract a diverse crowd to them. At the moment they're basically going to only attract students, pseudo students, and marxists. That's a huge waste of everyone's time compared to what could be!

Reminds me of this:

I thought you'd like it, remind you of school and all that

Old fashioned perhaps, but certainly not misogynistic. Well, it would be if it wasn't a trading room. But given it *is*, it's not, because any lady traders like yourself have seen worse and are used to it. Feel free to point out a flaw in logic if there is one, I'm malleable here

Has Punter been sexually harrassing you again? He's like that.

No, there's been a typing error. It should read like this:

"Nice new addition to sig: Also open to fixed income traders of any kind, as well as uninhibited men wearing ass-less chaps who know what they're talking about doing anything. If you don't know whether you know what you're talking about, then you don't."

For extra amusement (and, more properly, a bump) should point out the house is owned by wotsis-name off the antiques roadshow...

 

[Masquerade]

Do they have any space and do they have wi-fi?

Lady traders? Surely they are too busy doing the washing and ironing? Next thing you'll be telling me is that there are lady pilots.

No, no, but I think I can guess where the confusion comes in. Those laydeeees you see on planes right? They're called trolley dollies and they are there to serve drinks and nosh you off if you're first class and feeling randy.

I never take advantage as I find the experience of smuggling 3 keys of 95% pure heroin in my jacksie puts me right off my stroke. Couldn't get it up for anyone.

But pilots? Good Heavens, no. Women can't do multiple things at once you know.

 

[new_trader]

But pilots? Good Heavens, no. Women can't do multiple things at once you know.

I was worried there. They may be able to do two things like manipulate a vacuum cleaner whilst preparing her husbands toast in a toaster. But these kitchen electrical appliances are nowhere near as complicated as a personal computer. Leave them to your men, please!

Ms. Jets is definitely a Lady

Ms. Jets is definitely a Lady

I want proof.

In my youth, it was 'new age travellers'. I guess they wised up and dumped the busses & caravans. I remember in my youth, turning up on those sites after work (Hants), with a suite and tie on and then sitting by the fireplace in one guys caravan sharing a joint. At the time, a fireplace didn't look out of place in a cravan but looking back it is amazing I never perished sitting in a plastic cube with a stoned hippy stoking a roaring log fire.

Now - I know smoking weed is bad for you & I am not advocating drugs, but these guys were convinced I was a cop and they insisted I smoke a joint with them to prove I wasn't. They told me straight - "if you don't smoke some weed with us, we aren't going to sell you any microdots"...

I presume these people are one of the last outlets in the UK for LSD. As such, it may be worth the trip. I'd be in if I wasn't on the other side of the planet.

The Mrs and I used to be peripheral participants in this kind of scene. You get to see how paranoid the state is and just how the police abuse their powers. It's quite eye-opening. Additionally you get to go to some absolutely cracking parties.
