How about we have a little Morecambe or Blackpool meet up one day over the summer?

[farmerbarleymow]

On the upside, honorary Northerner 5t3IIa will join us for the soiree as she now lives in the better part of England.

Sadly, she is currently imprisoned in Shirl's outside lav, following being kidnapped and dragged up to the Yorkshire valleys.

 

[Shirl]

Us Northerners are shite at organising these things.

I blame Shirl.

farmerbarleymow you are a bastard. You should organise this. You already know I'm shit at it. Come on get it sorted

 

[neonwilderness]

Don't get 5t3IIa to do it, she has poor form for this sort of thing

 

[Shirl]

Stella can be guest of honor if I let her out of the lav

Slopey shouldered Shirl

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Should we just do Manchester instead? It's easier to get to (for me) and I can organise it then.

Isn't this supposed to be a northern meet?

 

[timeforanother]

Manchester would be dead easy for me, I could even offer crash space (as long as you promised not to trash the place).

I'd not want to rule out a bit of seaside later, even if the weather has turned by then.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I'm not even going to answer that fucking slur.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I'm pleased to see though that we're still arguing.

[farmerbarleymow]

Where's Shirl gone anyhow? Off feeding gruel to her captive 5t3IIa, cruelly tied to the outside lav?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

For fucks sake Shirl, I'll bloody organise it then.

How about Saturday 10 December in Blackpool or Morecambe? That is a bit before the black Friday nonsense that happens around the unspeakable time of the year, so the pubs should be a bit less busy.

Start sometime around early afternoon - accommodating those who might have children, and lushes who love lengthy drinking sessions. Train stations in both locations.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Throbbing Angel - as the official organiser of this soiree given Shirl can't be arsed, I nominate you to be the locate coordinator for pub reconassaince and stuff. Basically, you have to devise the itinerary for the pub crawl being local to those parts.

 

[neonwilderness]

I think I might be busy on the 10th

Lightweight.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

We could do Saturday 3 December instead. If neonwilderness could be bothered to come across the Pennines on that date.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Start in The Velvet Coaster near the Pleasure Beach and all go ice skating for a bit afterwards/before next pub?

I no longer drink by the way

Pubs sounds OK, but last time I went anywhere near ice I fell arse over tit. Alcohol may have been involved.

You can be our guardian and make sure we don't fall into the sea.

I would hope that no-one would think of skinny dipping in the Irish Sea in December, but you never know...

Have a drink andsit and watch is an option too.

They might even have their Xmas grotto open!

I may be able to venture south then

 

[farmerbarleymow]

West South West is probably more accurate.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Shirl - can you change the thread title? If we can get that reprobate neonwilderness over then we have to settle on 3 December.

 

[Shirl]

For fucks sake Shirl, I'll bloody organise it then.

 

[Shirl]

I can't change the thread title we need aqua to do it now

 

[aqua]

What do you want me to change it to? "Shirl can't organise a piss up for a bunch of pissheads so lets try again - December 3rd?"

 

[5t3IIa]

This is a familiar and comforting #shambles on the organisation front

I can do December, I imagine I have got to finish moving in late Sept and that is the last Important Thing in my diary for 2016, and I intend to sit quite still for the rest of the year. I'll be spent by then, but probably thirsty and just about able to get a train to some new exciting northern place
