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

I shall already be there!

With work people who I would be happy to lose. How helpful!

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 helped save b3ta! TonyUNDERSCORE from the Internet, Tue 2 Dec 2008, 11:41, Reply)
I do, yes,

I'm confused

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


(I helped save b3ta! t0ria has forgotten how this all works, Tue 2 Dec 2008, 17:37, Reply)
Maybe.

You wish

(I helped save b3ta! Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Wed 3 Dec 2008, 16:06, Reply)
I had

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

Hurrah!


(I helped save b3ta! Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Wed 3 Dec 2008, 13:42, Reply)
oh well

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

*hulas*



Remember: I all know about you and grass skirts, Dr Ceilidhband.


(I helped save b3ta! Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Fri 5 Dec 2008, 9:14, Reply)
for the love of all that is holy

could you refrain from grass skirts? Convention suits you.

Exotic?

Have you got the right city?


(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Thu 11 Dec 2008, 18:58, Reply)
Well...

... you can pick up some interesting diseases here. What else do you need for exoticism?

My money situation is ridiculous at the moment, but hopefully I'll be able to pull some funds together...Stupid bank! Stupid Charges!

(I helped save b3ta! t0ria has forgotten how this all works, Thu 4 Dec 2008, 13:13, Reply)
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.


(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Sun 7 Dec 2008, 19:37, Reply)
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.

I was there last night. If only I knew who you are I would have said hi. And then laughed.


(I helped save b3ta! t0ria has forgotten how this all works, Thu 11 Dec 2008, 8:59, Reply)
the worse thing is

that I had a name badge on what I made which had my user name on it...got some strange looks!

NB: they stop selling booze at the German market at 20:45

I don't know if I can be bothered.

(I helped save b3ta! RR I love you ... in a way, Mon 15 Dec 2008, 10:13, Reply)
ah poop

I can't make it now :(


(I helped save b3ta! GrandmaOfShoes, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 14:28, Reply)
ok, I've pooped

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!

DRINK!

Are we wearing badges or summat?


(I helped save b3ta! Monty Propps, Wed 17 Dec 2008, 16:01, Reply)
Do we need them?

I'm easy to spot, look for a short blonde girl with a photoshopped face :)


(I helped save b3ta! t0ria has forgotten how this all works, Wed 17 Dec 2008, 16:44, Reply)
I Know you!

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...


Gets out the clearasil and stops wanking...


(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Wed 17 Dec 2008, 16:53, Reply)
you can't miss me, I'll be wearing my best leather rapecoat

and Tony is easy to recognise, he'll be the one blocking out the sun


(I helped save b3ta! Gilgamesh gazed in wonder as Frampton came alive, Wed 17 Dec 2008, 16:49, Reply)
what time does it shut?

i can't get there till 9ish. is there any point turning up then?


(sirolimus, Wed 17 Dec 2008, 17:44, Reply)
they stop the boozes at 8:45

but I imagine some kind of pub-related activity will occur after that time


(I helped save b3ta! Gilgamesh gazed in wonder as Frampton came alive, Wed 17 Dec 2008, 17:49, Reply)

I don't remember posting this so that Blue Nun stuff is the shit, in several ways.


(I helped save b3ta! crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Thu 18 Dec 2008, 9:35, Reply)
i totally forgot about the blue nun until you mentioned it

i feel it must have made its contribution to this current hangover
