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

[farmerbarleymow]

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?"

That sounds about right.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

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

The words Blackpool and exciting don't naturally sit together in any normal sentence, so don't get your hopes up...

Edited because there's a whole page of game changing nonsense since I started the post.

I'll see what I can do. January is better for me tbh :curveball:

 

[mauvais]

Start a new thread!

I might be up for this, depends on the plan.

Mr appointed organiser,

we can have a Manchester meet even if not everyone is ready, and we have other meets later.

It seems unless someone comes up with perfect it won't happen. Scruffy is good too.

For a Manchester meet up we could wander round the art galleries, or the industry museum and have some nice food before we got wasted. No rollercoasters though.

 

[mauvais]

timeforanother start a thread for that too then

There's a 100 years of Vogue photography exhibition at the art gallery at the mo, supposed to be good.

 

[timeforanother]

I might be tempted, but I was hoping to meet a few more urbans in real life first.

 

[mauvais]

But isn't that how? I live in beautiful Mancunia, so I will probably be there.

init "I want to meet some urbs but I want to meet some urbs before I do"

timeforanother - mauvais is exactly right. Commit to meeting some urbs at the urb meeting! Perhaps it will lead to meeting others in the future

 

[timeforanother]

Mither me, and I'll come up with a plan. Including the gallery thing, a steam engine or two and a drunken mess.

There is a pub over the road that does rooms for out of towners who can't find crash space.

 

[mauvais]

Happy to help if you need it

 

[timeforanother]

Also, as long as a few of us can make it, I don't need to find the perfect asl

 

[timeforanother]

Mr/Ms Mauvais, I approve of your Lichtenstein, and will happy to do that den's dragon thing with you.

 

[timeforanother]

End of the month?

 

[timeforanother]

No reply yet, so I nominate the 24th for a Manchester meet.

We start in the pub for people to arrive (pub to be decided).

Then Mauvais' suggestion of Vogue 100: A Century of Style | Manchester Art Gallery

Then another drink and some stream trains at the Museum of Science and Industry (Not time to see the whole place, but a few steam trains keeps you rooted).

Later on there is this Chorlton Irish Club - Bop Local

Any other suggestions welcome.

What do you think?

 

[mauvais]

24th & weekend I'm down south for a wedding unfortunately - one of the few dates I can't make as it stands. Although don't let my absence stop you.

You'll get more interest if you start a separate thread.

 

[timeforanother]

Let's move it the next week (no bop local then), and you can start the new thread. I'll think of a good pub near the gallery. I have been here I while, but I don't know many urbs in real life.

We won't have difficulty for somewhere to have a few drinks later.

 

[mauvais]

Alright, in a bit.

 

[timeforanother]

I started the thread, but dragged you in

 

[Dovydaitis]

Is this still on the cards? If it is me and my tweed Shirl might wander up

Still on - there's another thread for it.
