Manchester Spring bash, just for the hell of it.

I'm suggesting Fab Cafe again as it seems to be where we always end up anyway, maybe around 7pm?

Its only a few days after payday for most people so should be good. And as its a Friday I won't have to go to work the next day, and then come home at 10am as I keep being sick. Which I absolutely didn't do last time. No.

If anyone has any other suggestions or the date's not good, let me know.

The date is now the date so tough!

Drinking blue nun was a very bad, yet very good idea!

I will definitely be there

but only on the proviso that if there is a quiz again, we do it.


And if we win Blue fucking Nun again we shun it. Big time.


(, Thu 8 Jan 2009, 12:35, Reply)
It's a friday...

so it's not quiz night.
However, I will gladly take care of any Blue Nun that crosses our path.
Unless we go to to like, a Blue Nun emporium or something. That'd just be silly.

Of a quiz is undeniably brilliant!

The question is, will anywhere do one on a friday night?

I've had a quick look

and it doesn't look like it.

Of course, one of use could ORGANISE one.....!

Looks like there are going to be quite a few of us so I was toying with the idea of getting a private area in a bar for a couple of hours, maybe in Odder, so it might just work?

Sounds like a plan!

We'll just have to see how many we can coax along!

i'm on for this quiz idea though. i can get in a bit earlier if needed. what'd we do for questions?

oh, right


(, Fri 9 Jan 2009, 18:09, Reply)
Stick me down as a probable

Might be more like a couple early doors for me rather than the long haul, but I will definitely try and put in an appearance at some point.

Since I'll probably be coming straight from work, any thoughts about a preliminary meeting point? There's a few decent watering holes in The Northern Quarter, or we could meet up at the Pev or somewhere like that...

Just noticed this.

The Blue Nun cocktail sort of grew on me.

RIGHT THIS IS THE PLAN:

Meet at The Salisbury from 7pm onwards. Maybe stay there until about 9pm when we can move on to Fab Cafe. For those who fancy a proper late night out we could go to Satan's Hollow afterwards, although I will probably be missing presumed drunk by that sort of time.

If you don't know, The Salisbury is a pubby pub next door to Oxford Road Station so is easy to find. Its not too busy early on so is a good place to meet up and get to know people.

I'll be in the Salisbury from about 6.45 onwards as I am pathologically early.

If you are an Farcebook I've put a thread on the b3ta group now so you can see what peoples look like. No stalkers please.

Map link is b0rked, but it's OK I know where the pub is.

I've got to drive down to the Midlands on Saturday morning, so it'll be a case of start early, finish early for me. Standard Headwound practice on a Friday generally involves pub straight from work - barely be able to get home and back by 7!

If any crazy mad bananas fancy kicking things off from about half 5 - and do bear in mind I have no intention of lasting the distance so won't be pacing myself ;) stick a reply in here and we can think about venues.
