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!
Fab Cafe, Portland Street, Manchester [map]
Manchester Spring bash, just for the hell of it.
Going: t0ria, .underwhelmed, plentyofants, Colonel Santiago, Mr.Ons, SpikeyPickle, grey kid, Enzyme, TonyUNDERSCORE from the Internet, GrandmaOfShoes, MrGomez, beast_with_two_backs, Mr Torture, barryheadwound, Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged., Fetid Mimsy, sirolimus, mike woz ere, Kitty v1.0, St3cks, Threepwood, lord turkey boy, Mr. Cunt, Fitznicely, Agnostic Antichrist (25 people).
i will be there.
but, oh god, a 7.00 start in the fab cafe? that sounds horrifically dangerous...*
* yet good

Drinking blue nun was a very bad, yet very good idea!
( , Tue 6 Jan 2009, 15:56, Reply)
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)
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.

Why did I bloody move away from Manchester again?
( , Thu 8 Jan 2009, 21:04, Reply)
Just hope I don't bottle it this time, and come and meet some of you lovely people!
( , Fri 9 Jan 2009, 10:44, Reply)
I was really nervous when I went to my first one but it was great and everyone was lovely. I've still only been to 2 but here I am organising one!
( , Fri 9 Jan 2009, 13:18, Reply)
you're bound to be better than them...
( , Fri 9 Jan 2009, 14:45, Reply)
Of a quiz is undeniably brilliant!
The question is, will anywhere do one on a friday night?
( , Fri 9 Jan 2009, 11:54, Reply)
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?
( , Fri 9 Jan 2009, 13:30, Reply)
We'll just have to see how many we can coax along!

Hadn't you ought to be getting on with your 10k picture?!
( , Fri 9 Jan 2009, 15:25, Reply)
i'll have time to get a suntan and everything..
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)
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...

The Blue Nun cocktail sort of grew on me.
But chemo shifted it.

I think Mateus Rose is a step up for this bash.

Where to go?
Shall we go for something to eat first?
( , Thu 22 Jan 2009, 18:22, Reply)
The correct answer is "yes". Actually, it's "yes please and Amen".
( , Thu 22 Jan 2009, 19:26, Reply)
Pub to allow people to meet, then move on for food if people want.
Just a thought.

*looks shifty*
I know where to get some good stuff...
( , Mon 26 Jan 2009, 16:42, Reply)
i'm bound to need one of those at some point

I've only just recovered from November's.
Seeing the same kebab twice does not count as doubling the value for money.
( , Tue 27 Jan 2009, 15:58, Reply)
Its going to be EPIC!
We just need another 100 or so to come along to beat Riverghost and the bloody Southerners :)

really,
I'll see if I can rally some old schoolers.
( , Fri 30 Jan 2009, 14:54, Reply)
I may be am a roaming bash-whore, but I can only do long-distance bashes on Saturdays. Any chance of swapping the date with this bash?
EDIT: Never mind.
( , Thu 29 Jan 2009, 22:40, Reply)
There're 25 people signed up. They've been signed up for quite some time.
Do you really think that it's reasonable to expect things to be rearranged just for your benefit? Really?
Hmmm?
( , Fri 30 Jan 2009, 12:49, Reply)
i don't think changing either bash is going to work at this late stage
but manchester's not difficult to get to (from york or london; can't work out which you're in). there are plenty of trains that'll get you in for a reasonable time on fri evening
( , Fri 30 Jan 2009, 13:53, Reply)
no.
Though I'm a blow-in from teh south so I don't have a proper say. But I have drunk from the Blue Nun.
( , Fri 30 Jan 2009, 20:54, Reply)
you're one of us now, whether you want to be or not! :)

I spent the first 24 years of my life as a Northerner. (Norn Iron counts, right?)
( , Mon 2 Feb 2009, 12:44, Reply)
@t0ria: You may want to get rid of the "date's not good" bit.
@plentyofants: I'm in West-London, and the earliest I'd be able to make it would be around 9pm, so I think I'll sit this one out.
( , Thu 5 Feb 2009, 0:45, Reply)
It looks like I'm still coming.
Get excited fuckers, get really excited.
If only you knew just how lucky you all are.
( , Tue 3 Feb 2009, 14:51, Reply)
although it has been a few years since I've had any Blue nun. Does that matter?
( , Wed 4 Feb 2009, 23:08, Reply)
That gave me the urge to say W00P and I never say things like that!

I'm going to the other big city that weekend........Leeds.

Its getting a bit close now, what does everyone want to do?

im in manchester that day to see watchmen at imax

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.

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.

I'm having to drop out, due to a ridiculous phone bill!
Sorry all!
( , Mon 2 Mar 2009, 12:43, Reply)
Can't make it either now :( Gotta be in liverpool at 8 on saturday evening.
( , Tue 3 Mar 2009, 12:25, Reply)
If you left at midnight, that would leave you 20 hours to get to Liverpool.
Really it only takes about forty minutes or so in the car... =P

That's what overdrafts are for!
See you friday motherfuckers!
T0ria, do you want me to be point of contact again?
( , Wed 4 Mar 2009, 8:40, Reply)
Yes please....
****If anyone needs contact numbers either gaz me or Agnostic. It helps if you don't know anyone or what anyone looks like! ****
( , Wed 4 Mar 2009, 13:20, Reply)
This must happen!
I also consider this my official 'The Colonel is leaving the rainy place' b3ta bash, so if there are cakes - even better.
( , Wed 4 Mar 2009, 17:22, Reply)
If you're not certain, GAZ me, I'll send you my number, and you can give me a call when you come free!
( , Wed 4 Mar 2009, 17:01, Reply)
Moving on to Fab Cafe possibly around 9. What time will you be around?
( , Wed 4 Mar 2009, 17:20, Reply)
Some of us have kids to sort out, and partners to placate, before we're allowed out to play.
Still, all being well I'll be tootling along and you can all admire my sexiness.
( , Thu 5 Mar 2009, 12:50, Reply)
Due to a phone company that may or may not share it's name with a fruit, I've hit a difficulty.
I can still be point of contact, but I can only receive calls, or texts telling us you'll be here in 5 minutes, but I can't reply at all!
Therefore, you may receive a call off a different number altogether.
Still, only 24 hours to go, woo!
( , Thu 5 Mar 2009, 17:04, Reply)
i got some yesterday. and 22 exorbitantly-priced plastic cups. i will keep it chillin' in the fridge at work tomorrow
of course, we have to work out where we can, in practice, drink the foul brewgolden elixir
( , Thu 5 Mar 2009, 19:36, Reply)
I'm sure we can find a way of pouring it from up our sleeves...
EDIT: Thinking about it, wouldn't 1x bottle of Blue Nun divided by 22x plastic cups have been the most ridiculous thing ever?!
( , Fri 6 Mar 2009, 10:40, Reply)
that's just how many were in the packet
( , Fri 6 Mar 2009, 11:30, Reply)
I've even had my hair done especially :)
( , Fri 6 Mar 2009, 15:51, Reply)
So I'll be a Corporate Kitty unfortunately.
I do hope everyone will be wearing a red carnation in their lapel!
( , Fri 6 Mar 2009, 15:58, Reply)
look out for a group of people who don't look like they would normally go out together. Everyone is very different!
I am short with lots of blonde hair and a nice handbag. I'll gaz you my phone number and when you arrive I'll come out and meet you if you like
( , Fri 6 Mar 2009, 17:24, Reply)
Fothermuckers!
End of my working day now, I shall see you all in a couple of hours at the Salisbury!
I will be able to access facebook, so if you don't already have my number, follow the link on my profile, and send me a message with your number, I'll give you a text!
See you in a bit!
