Spent a couple of minutes totally stumped by this one, then guessed at a definition synonym and instantly saw the wordplay.

I really enjoy how my brain is starting to work with these clues, when I am initially confused.

Brilliant clue, IMO

It's more of a long term goal...

musical lift at south bank center is legit amazing.

I aim for four and mainly hit three. If I count a weekly pilates session (hmmm) then it is reliably four.

five or six times a .... week?
wow, that is impressive.

Ideally, @snottyotter would rope in @General_Lucifer and they would put on a party that would be 100 percent illegal and 100 percent amazing....

I reckon we are getting close to needing four sub threads here for the GSIAD; the party; the bridges ride and the tattoos.

Given the chat so far, we have @jonny for the grand slam, me for bridges, @edmundro for the ink and no one brave enough yet for organising the party. Any takers?

I just managed to complete both the Guardian quick cryptic (seemed trivial) and the Quiptic, which was much more of a challenge but with a pleasing number of answers that simply appeared in my brain.

Minute Cryptic has been having a postive impact, it seems.

Next goal - a decent stab at the Guardian main crossword.

Has anyone on this forum NOT had a wank in a hospital?

I found myself obsessing about how long I was in the cubicle. In my mind the receptionist was running a stopwatch on my performance.

Didn't want to be in there weirdly long but definitely didn't want to finish too quickly.

It proper put me off my stroke.

Slaining

Why thank you. And it's not even a link to goatse.cx!

Grrr, I will not forgive this! You are ON MY LIST.

Oh.

Right.

Yeah.

We love you @oat44, but anyone who has ever BTOB-ed knows that you are definitely wired differently!

So easy you got an extra shot!

2 under, but I thought it was hard today.

Is my imagination or are they getting more complex recently?

Me likey.

Next person on the list needs to lowercase my m. It's mashton, never Mashton....

I will lead/coordinate a GSIAD on Sat 15th.

Absolutely perfect.

GSIAD led by AGHOIA!

I am very pleased!

GSIAD would usually kick off at about 11am to finish early evening.

From memory it would be Stonemasons in Hammersmith, Coach and Horses in Brixton, Flask in Hampstead, that pub in Victoria Park whose name I can't remmwber for the death TT and then central would be either The Lamb in Bloomsbury or there is definitely an argument for The John Snow.

It might want to include South Easts as well, which would be The Roebuck in Borough.

Yeah, bridges should be West to East to arrive at Tower Bridge as the party is in full swing.

Oh, by the way, as one of the increasing number of booze free people on here, I am less likely to be GSIADing and more likely to be bridge riding.

So who wants to take on the GSIAD event?

Nota bene, in the spirit of the forum, the amount of organisation should be minimal - more a kind of "we make the event thread and they will come" organic kind of thing...

...unless you want to throw more effort into it.

I suspect that an actual party in an actual venue will be slightly more onerous.

Noob

And @hillbilly whilst we are at it.

Can we crowdfund a flight to the UK for @ma3k (is his account dead?)

We realise that a) Ruislip is the one true home of God and b) you are a bit of a Johnny come lately to the forum so never experienced the wonder of the 'trum days in Hammersmith and environs...

So, if you want to run a local history tour of deep West London then fill yer boots!

My vision of what this could look like is three seperate events on the day that overlap and co-mingle:

A during the day GSIAD.
An evening party in an actual venue.
A bridges night ride.

That should cater for all tastes and provide sufficient nostalgic madness.

Mega props to anyone who manages both rides and attends the party.

Let me know thoughts on that as a format. Also let me know if you want to take putative responsibilty for helping organise any of the above.

Also, tell me I am a cunt and suggest something else.
