Manchester German Market.

Anyone fancy a gargle at the Xmas market? I'd suggest a midweek mini do, as it gets totally rammed at the weekend. Same as last year, under the singing moose head? It's more or less opposite the Town Hall main door, with the tasteful Santa on top.
They're cultural as ever, with that, beer and big sausages.


Wed 17 Dec 2008, 19:00

Albert Square, Manchester.

Manchester German Market.

Going: Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged., t0ria, TonyUNDERSCORE from the Internet, Monty Propps, Mr.Ons, plentyofants, negative armadillo, Enzyme, sirolimus, crackhouseceilidhband, .underwhelmed, Gilgamesh, Colonel Santiago, Fetid Mimsy, grey kid (15 people).

NEAR THE TOP

update: Tony is being a spastic and going home from work before he goes so he won't be around until about 8pm, the big spazzy mess

Pfft. Cock off. I don't have to wear clean clothes, but money is an issue.

Pay for me and I'll come straight from work.

I'm confused

I'm sure i looked on here earlier and Enzyme had signed up? Has someone scared him off?

And then I remembered that perhaps I couldn't make it - but I'm almost certain to be there now.

Hurrah!

in that case, I've always wanted to visit Manchester. It seems so... exotic.

could you refrain from grass skirts? Convention suits you.

Exotic?

Have you got the right city?

I should be there

I'll be there at 8 o clock. The one thing which I am slightly worried about is that I always see loads of people who I know there. I'm kind of worried into bumping into the local vicar or someone underneath the 'I'm from teh internet' sign... I'll probably stand at the edge and sort of hop in and out, like last time.


(sirolimus, Fri 5 Dec 2008, 20:07, Reply)
I bump into my local vicar on a regular basis.

Really.

I hate to confess that I'm actually a maybe

seeing as I've essays and binge drinking to do and all that. I'm fairly poverty stricken as well, but I'll get my next lovely student loan instalment in January so it's not All bad.

now what?


(I helped save b3ta! Gilgamesh gazed in wonder as Frampton came alive, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 14:31, Reply)
I really don't think I'll be able to make it...

It'll cost me £12.80 to get there, and my wordly wealth amounts to £15. Which would mean travelling to Manchester for precisely one pint. Bum. I'll see if I can arrange something though...

edit - Though I do have two £50 Lovefilm 90-day-free cards that I would be happy to exchange for beer tokens. B3tan Discount!

If we all spot one person we know and team up, there should be a fairly big group of internet geeks standing still in the end.

THAT wont be too hard to miss...
