MANC BASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Righto, I've finally decided (with the help of 'Don't point it at your face') on Sinclairs Oyster Bar right in the city centre.

I suggest we convene from 5pm onwards & then work our way around the local hostelries drinking them dry as quickly
as our bladders will permit.

I've signed up...

but...fucking Revolution? Are you having a cunting giggle? If I want ponciness I'll stay in Reading thankyou very much!

Edit: Sinclairs Oyster Bar? This better not be like the Blue Oyster Bar...



not

( Benny Tied To A Tree As much use as Anne Frank's drumkit, Fri 7 Apr 2006, 14:21, Reply)

Yes, but I know where that is.

I'd rather start off there than end up there.

I hope some other people sign up for this, as I haven't got a fucking clue where all the decent pubs are.

If we're not careful, we'll end up in Canal Street.

( Benny on the Loose; a permanent solution to a temporary problem, Fri 7 Apr 2006, 14:24, Reply)

Canal Street is a laugh, but possibly not the best place

to take a large group of people, as the bouncers don't like 'gender tourists'.

I really really really do NOT recommend Revolution. Especially on Deansgate Lock.

There is an Irish Pub near Canal Street that is fairly large, yet relaxed. We could meet there, wander into the city centre, and then probably onto 5th Avenue for dancing and jolly japes...

I suggested Deansgate as most people seem to know

where it is.

I take it you and Mr Badger will be joining us then?!

( Benny on the Loose; a permanent solution to a temporary problem, Fri 7 Apr 2006, 14:30, Reply)

It is perfectly possible

as even if we have Reece with us, we can leave him with my parents.

But only if you promise to listen to me when picking possible pub venues. Really...a group of us will not be happy in Revo's.

I do suggest that we possibly end up in either 5th Avenue or Aqua.

I promise not to make you all go gay.

Righto,

I shall let you suggest the starting location, then we shall open it up to whoever's there at the time as to where we go after that!

Sinclairs near the triangle is one of the best pubs in the city center

id recommend there. Im in manc if you want any mroe info

( Dont point it at your face up the ass, Sat 6 May 2006, 23:29, Reply)

I would recommend Pop Cafe for the atmosphere

or possibly Font cos a friend works behind the bar

as long as its in a proper pub with a proper name like 'The Nags Head' and not a poncey bar...

most women look at me and start

make if difficult for me to get a round in, if the bar staff are female.

However I do have a friend in umm chorlton? is it? I dunno, I live in the sticks these days, would be be easy to get back there in the small hours, blind drunk?

( umbongo I vote for Evil Lu as Mayor of /talk, Fri 7 Apr 2006, 14:55, Reply)

I wouldn't have thought a Taxi would be too much,

although I'd advise against wandering around Chorlton in the early hours.

You've all got to promise to be nice and not steal my lunch money.

If it's raining, I will sulk

because you can't smoke in the Oyster Bar place. Only outside.

Actually, if that place doesn't take kindly to our drunken shenanigans, I suggest a fairly swiftish move to the Tiger Lounge on Cooper Street (just off St Peter's Square), as it's cheapish, not at all wanky, underground, poorly lit and haphazardly supervised. There is also an offshoot area called the Kitty Lounge. Woo.

Oh, and I will also not be arriving until about 6/6.30. Does somebody who's arriving on time (and staying for at least the first few hours) wanna email either me or Pachey their number, so we can find out where the fun is at when the time comes?
