Manchester.

Well, nothing seems to be happening this weekend.
Quiz/Blue Nun/bollocking from door security optional.

Also Chorlton Beer Festival, 11th July, if you're hard enough, like real ale and have a beard.

THE LOST WEEKEND.

Everything seems bad if you remember it!

I was absoltuley fine after the March bash. It turns out if I don't drink as much I don't have such a bad hangover. Took me 32 years to realise that ;)

There's loads of buses from the town centre.

It's one of the main routes.

Or are you coming from Macclesfield?

(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Sat 30 May 2009, 10:58, Reply)

Coming from Macclesfield...

Any suggestions?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 1 Jun 2009, 9:02, Reply)

Train from Macclesfield

then the 85 or 86 bus from Picadilly bus station. Get off at Chorlton bus station on Barlow Moor Road, then walk up Edge Lane.

Or phone me when you get there.

Or you can sleep in my shed the night after the bash and you'll be round the corner!

I'm going to be getting to Manchester at about 6, then head straight to the Salisbury, so we can have a bit more room this time *fingers crossed*

( t0ria has forgotten how this all works, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 12:08, Reply)

perhaps they should just pass themselves off

as a "cockroach restaurant". it would explain away the infestation in one smooth move

getting to the salisbury about 7.45, after my train gets in, or earlier if employing the monty's lady's taxi method. but maybe i'll come in an hour earlier if people are already there

curries: i do develop a strong urge for takeaway over the course of an evening's refreshment. but as you're kindly housing me t0ria, i'll go along with what you're doing. what time you heading out to the beer festival saturday? just whenever seems right?

( plentyofants more ghee, vicar?, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 20:11, Reply)

Pobably around 3pm for the beer festival.

Are you staying at mine on the Saturday night as well? I've got some mates from Macclesfield coming for the beer festival who are staying over too, they might be able to give you a lift back on Sunday?

( t0ria has forgotten how this all works, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 12:08, Reply)

t0ria: yes, if you're happy to put me up, i shall accept. i owe you many beer for this..

probably a bit out of the way for your macclesfield friends, so i'll get train back, or take up monty's generous offer if he's there

mr p: it's a different route from yours to manchester, though. were you going to get it from my local station? if so, i finish work at 4 on friday, so i could come down to town-where-you-live and give you a lift to town-where-i-live for the train if you want. are you aiming for my initial suggestion, or an hour earlier?
