Big uber massive Sheffield bash

Cunningly arranged for the day I get paid! We shall be starting off in the Howard, and then at about 8pm moving onto a pub crawl into Sheffield itself to whatever club looks likely. Heck, even the Corporation. So what are you waiting for?

Directions: dead centre of Sheffield, right across from the train station. Piece of piss to get to.

More details to come as we get closer to the time. People that can provide crash space please GAZ me and I shall put the details on here.

::UPDATE::

I can provide crash space for up to 9 people, so gaz me if you need some!

1/ bearpookie Unfortunately dropped out
2/ Woodside Industries
3/ Non-b3tan by the name of Ian
4/ Sea Tramp
5/ The Doctor
6/ Ttssattsr
7/
8/
9/

::Second update::
MadadamUK has three spaces, but it's BYO sleeping bag.

Currently the only criterion for crash space is first come, first served.

Guaranteed to be the worst night out you'll ever have.

(, Fri 2 Nov 2007, 3:32, Reply)
Only if you turn up

And depress us all with your particular brand of curmudgeonly misanthropy.

I might go

if I remember.

Cor I used to drink in the Howard as a poncy student.

I will see what I can do, it would be good to finaly turn up to a bash!

I may be there,

depending on how badly snowed-under with work I am by then.


(, Sat 1 Dec 2007, 16:58, Reply)
I am intrigued.

I have lived in Chesterfield for 9 years, and have never been out in Sheffield for the night.

However I now live in Bristol, but i would like to come


(, Fri 7 Dec 2007, 10:50, Reply)
Might be there.

If it happens to coincide with a Peekaboo burlesque night, then "Might" gets escalated to an "Almost Certainly".


(, Mon 17 Dec 2007, 14:48, Reply)
Ooh Excellent

I know there is a Spearmint Rhino just down the road... however I fear this may be a little downmarket for your tastes. Incidentally I shall be dragging a fella who is very much into English longbow along and also makes his own, should you want to meet him.


(, Tue 25 Dec 2007, 1:26, Reply)
tuesday nights

We often go as a group of students on the tuesday night as it is student night and free entry, along with cheaper dances, cheap beers too, so is all good! A good third of the people in there on average are female customers btw


(, Fri 4 Jan 2008, 21:23, Reply)
Are you insane?

Downmarket my eye! I love Spearmint Rhino... the only trouble is my wallet doesn't these days. Bit different to Burlesque, mind you!

I'm keen to turn up, strip club or no - we'll just have to see how bad my finances are in a week or so.


(, Tue 12 Feb 2008, 8:59, Reply)
Let us hope they are top notch then

And if they are, drag SeaTramp with you, would you?

Jim


(, Thu 14 Feb 2008, 19:50, Reply)
Yay

Yay, a sheffield bash, I'll be thar!

I live at some halls about 3mins walk down the road from the howard/train station, i could provide a living room space for maybe 3 or so people to crash if wished, althoguh not got tons of warmingy-duvet type stuff.

EDIT:: I now have a spare bedroom, so it won't all be just floor space, means i can maybe provide another 2 extra spaces! (Big spaces - don't want cramped people)(5 spaces altogether)


(, Fri 4 Jan 2008, 21:22, Reply)
Would they be the ones

Just above the Hein Gericke?


(, Fri 4 Jan 2008, 22:04, Reply)
nope

I'm at the Anvil, its about 4mins walk from the howard. Past leadmill/sainsburys and across those two roads, then its a few hundred yards up a road. Brand new this year too!

You do realise the Howard serves an absolutely awful pint don't you? The globe just up the way is far better, i hope we end up visiting the devvy cat and corp too :-p


(, Sat 5 Jan 2008, 0:12, Reply)
The Howard

Is just a starting point for wherever we end up. I fully intend to be in Corp at the end of the night :)

Get in there, my son.

(, Wed 23 Jan 2008, 22:34, Reply)
What's that place in the city centre with all the theatre posters over its walls?

I've have a few in there, it wasn't bad.


(, Tue 8 Jan 2008, 16:51, Reply)
That would be the Brown Bear fella

Excellent little pub, not sure if it's still undergoing a refurb though.


(, Fri 11 Jan 2008, 11:39, Reply)
went in there once

as a naive, shy fresher and got hassled by the locals for drinking lager

never went back... too scary


(, Wed 13 Feb 2008, 20:07, Reply)
Oh they were just winding you up

Yorkshire people can be like that. You'll be fine with a bunch of us! We can celebrate my quarter century and lay a couple of demons to rest at the same time.


(, Wed 13 Feb 2008, 23:16, Reply)
its closed now :(

changed hands i believe


(, Mon 18 Feb 2008, 23:01, Reply)
Permanently?

Oh buggery bollocks. Well, we can always check on the way, the Old Monk is ok-ish.

I AM SO THERE

(, Mon 7 Jan 2008, 5:20, Reply)
I'm in sod it.

Is the Frog and Parrot still going?
Last time I went out in Sheffield, bloody hell, 20 years ago.
And some crash space would be appreciated, I'm coming over from the land of Mancs.
Yeeeeeeeeeh.


(, Wed 9 Jan 2008, 20:56, Reply)
I think the Frog and Parrot is still going

I avoid the place like the plague though, full of southern students. And Gilgamesh... stop stalking me!


(, Fri 11 Jan 2008, 11:41, Reply)
Definately still going

Has some good music on some evenings, has a couple of good beers on tap, kinda little and not always full of southern students, sometimes i am in there and i'm a midlander with scouse mates


(, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 23:38, Reply)
Nothing to say we can't have a look-in on the way through

But it is a little out of the way.


(, Sat 19 Jan 2008, 12:12, Reply)
I'm not bothered

whether we do or not, wherever is fine by me, but its not really anywhere out of the way if we are indeed going to corp, its less than 30 seconds walk from there.


(, Mon 21 Jan 2008, 3:27, Reply)
I only remember the Frog and Parrot,

cos it was the first pub I met my mate in when I went through for a gig, (Billy Bragg, and the Sid Presley experience 20 odd years ago, fyi).
They used to have a parrot which called time!
It's a real ale boozer, at least it used to be when part of the Firkin thing, but as I drink wine and lager, I'm not fussy.
In separate glasses obviously.


(, Mon 21 Jan 2008, 16:17, Reply)
does anyone know if they

still sell roger and out?


(, Tue 12 Feb 2008, 17:35, Reply)
I sez yeah!

Unless munneh tells me no. Won't know 'til nearer the time, though. Put me down for one of those deep pits in yr basement, though.
Can provide own lotion.

(although if going to a 'club' is compulsory, you can fuck right off)


(, Mon 14 Jan 2008, 22:17, Reply)
Tis not a standardy club

tis a heavy metal/indie/rock club, none of that pesky normal dancey stuffs!


(, Fri 18 Jan 2008, 23:39, Reply)
Once I get my passport sorted I'll be back in Sheffield for a couple of weeks.

Hopefully around this time so I'll pop along if I'm around.

Then ...

will parrott be attending also?


(, Wed 23 Jan 2008, 1:07, Reply)
It's his decision

Parrott and Woodside don't exactly count themselves as best buddies.


(, Wed 23 Jan 2008, 13:34, Reply)
I doubt it.

People as important and popular as him don't deign to attend such plebeian events as b3ta bashes.


(, Wed 23 Jan 2008, 22:34, Reply)
How

are we knowing whom is whom? Are you going to sit in the corner with something written on your forehead or something? And what time are we looking at? Maybe a mobile number of someone to be gaz'd to others incase they turn up late or something and want to know what pub we're in...


(, Fri 25 Jan 2008, 20:22, Reply)
Don't worry, I have it covered

But yes, you're right.

(, Tue 5 Feb 2008, 1:03, Reply)
I could actually make this... If a young flexible 19 year old would be allowed to come, that is.

I can drink you all under the table I suppose. I'll be on the table drinking, of course - there's more room there.

You're more than welcome fella

The more the merrier!


(, Tue 5 Feb 2008, 23:47, Reply)
Well, I've a mate at uni at Sheffield and I always said I'd trek up and see him. This sounds like a perfect excuse to go up there!

I'll chat with him about it asap. Until then could I bagsy a place on your floor?

Yeah sure!

You'll have some stiff competition.

(, Tue 5 Feb 2008, 23:51, Reply)
Hmm the Howard

Being in there as an away supporter at a Blades match was a fun experience.

Alas, I'm not around so can't come - but will keep an eye out for another!

First timer

Never been on a b3ta bash before.
How will I recognise folks?


(, Thu 14 Feb 2008, 13:49, Reply)
Just look for the bunch of social misfits in the corner of the pub :)

Failing that we usually occupy the sofas next to the bar.

I reckon this should...

..be fun! I'll certainly be along!

I'm hoping that I'll be attending

and I promise to offend everyone unintentionally.

Don't worry

That happens to me, often enough!

Offend people deliberately.

Saves a lot of time and trouble.

Gianthead might be there.

Only kidding, don't panic yourselves.
Can't be bothered with catching 3 trains or whatever it is, even to see such a distinguished crew.


(, Sun 17 Feb 2008, 17:58, Reply)
From Chester?

It's not so bad... just the one train, direct from Liverpool Lime Street or Warrington Central, whichever is closest.


(, Sun 17 Feb 2008, 19:01, Reply)
I seem to remember Crewe and Stockport being vital last time l went to Sheffers.

Which means 3 trains and 2 waits. Anyway l couldn't walk to Liverpool or Warrington.


(, Sun 17 Feb 2008, 20:56, Reply)
You're in Chester, right?

You can get a train from there to Manc, IIRC, and then from there, to Sheffield. So, not so bad. Or is my memory fubar?


(, Sun 17 Feb 2008, 23:42, Reply)
It's quicker to change at Stockport.

Just a bit of a warning

Sheffield Wednesday are playing Cardiff that day and there is a long history of trouble between Sheffield teams and Cardiff.
The police do shut The Howard from time to time if they think there is going to be trouble in the area.

and sit back and watch whilst a bunch of lonely nerds get hospitalised by group of thugs.

That's rich, coming from Mister "oh god my life is so empty I have to be a bitter misogynist, homophobe and racist on the internet!"

Oh, and whatever happened to your old viewpoint - namely: "I really really really wish I could have come to this, but I was too scared?"

Did you suddenly abandon it because it became unfashionable on /talk?

Go back to wanking over the kids at your nursery, you abominable waste of flesh.

Cheers for that fella

Oh well, no worries, plenty of other pubs about if it does get closed. We can always stick a note on the door!
