Right!
Alt: CombiChrist have finally announced some UK tour dates, and obviously they've scheduled their London and Nottingham gigs for the only two days in July which I can't make, so I'm "looking forward" to a 500-mile round trip to see them in Manchester a few days earlier. This will be two trips to Manchester in the space of a month following a wedding there. I'm concerned. Can you contract "monkey"?

Yep, saw today they're playing Leamington
So will see them if I'm still here in June.

How far is that from you?
I ask because Manchester was my next choice on account of knowing people there - Leamington's a lot closer to me and therefore cheaper to get to. If you're up for it we could make an incredibly small bash of it

Leamington is about 20 mins away from me
And yes I would be up for that :)

Fuck yeah
Where might you be on June 29th if not there?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:31, Reply)

I'm still debating moving down to London
Will make a decision within the next two months, depends on pay rise announcements here.

Oh yeah you did mention yesterday.
Three months away yet innit, I'll keep an eye on ticket sales in case we need to act snappy

Good plan
I'm sure I could sell mine on if I did get one then move.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:38, Reply)

You probably could
I on the other hand would be looking for someone who lives within 30 miles of Leamington Spa and likes CombiChrist. A list of one.

I'll keep you posted
Like I say, I should know soon.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:46, Reply)

I hope you get the result you're hoping for at work mate
If you move to London we'll end up doing a gig together eventually anyway!

You're cheeky enough to do so.

Is your bash on May 28th?

Yup!

( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:38, Reply)

Right, I can't come then
Sorry. I'll be in, er, Manchester. At a wedding.

Aw! I'm only a half hour train journey away too : (

( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:40, Reply)

I know, ironic that I'm travelling 250 miles straight past you
Really sorry honey. I've known these guys ten years.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:45, Reply)

I wouldn't expect you to not go to a wedding even if you'd known them for much less.

Annoying timing though
Feel free to send me gossip updates throughout the evening

You're not from Manchester!
It wasn't Northern Monkey I was worried about catching, my Dad is a Yorkshireman. It was Manc-specific Monkey.

Lots of monkeys in Manchester.

Alt: The very bestest part of my year will be InFest in Bradford August Bank Holiday weekend. I am planning to get fucked up in the company of the charming and highly attractive BelladonnaAnodyne.

Is that better?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:52, Reply)

Thank you.
I think I have a problem anyway Darth. I got a stupidly oversized bag to pack for tomorrow, and used all my Tetris abilities to squeeze everything I want to take in. So phenomenal, in fact, were my packing abilities, I even had a teeny bit of space left over. So I packed 3 more tops. Am I going to look like a mental?
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:56, Reply)

The very first thing he's going to think is
"Christ! She's actually moving in! What the fuck kind of possessive mentalist is she?"

Once you disavow him of this notion and assure him that you're going back to Bradford after a few days of fun and fornication, the truth - "I cannot leave home without enough clothing and footwear to keep a branch of Oxfam in business for a month" - will be positively palatable in comparison

I think selling all my stuff might actually solve world hunger.
I'm not going to do it though, I like my stuff.

I just think
I would have to sell *all* my stuff to solve world hunger. Someone with a bit more money could do it much easier. So why should I?

But just thinking, right, why are we paying £20-40 million for two chinless oiks to get hitched when the money could obviously be used more effectively to stop people in this country starving?
