Northern piss-up at the Castle pub, Manchester - 2pm, 25 November 2017.

Don't forget to wrap up warm Spymaster, or you'll catch your death of cold up here. It's currently 1°C (the 'feels like' temperature is -3°C), and will reach a tropical 5°C this afternoon (0°C).

 

[Spymaster]

Thanks mum

 

[friedaweed]

Sleat and snow here this morning. Actually iirc it was flooded last time.e me met in Manc

 

[Shirl]

Snow here too but the forecast is for rain so I can deal with that. See you later folks

 

[Throbbing Angel]

I'll be disappointed if we don't get seedy

It usually does, don't worry.

I'm still on call due to the flooding in Lancaster so definitely won't make it. It was always doubtful to be frank, but now I'm confirming my non attendance.

Have a good 'un. Take photos for this thread or tweet them (tell me where, though).

Is someone on threadwatching duty later, so I can find out where you all are?

It's wet in Manchester at the moment, but seems to be brightening up a bit.

FoD and I are just checking trains from lovely Widnes. Should be there at 2ish depending on whether she gets sidetracked down memory lane.

I will for a bit - although I probably won't stay out for the whole duration.

 

[Spymaster]

Currently slicing through Coventry like a hot knife through butter

 

[Fez909]

Sorry Northerns, I'm not going to be there

Have a good 'un.

 

[friedaweed]

On train

 

[blairsh]

Have a good un! I will make one of these meets someday.

 

[Wookey]

Don't tell me I'm the first in?!

 

[friedaweed]

Very tempting buffet trolly just pulled up.

 

[friedaweed]

Don't tell me I'm the first in?!

Get a round in quick whist you'e on your own

 

[blairsh]

Does that Snickers say "Knackered" on it?

 

[Wookey]

I has pintage.

I'm never first.

Tum di dum....

 

[Spymaster]

Don't tell me I'm the first in?!

I’m standing at the bar. Are you the tall dude with the beard?

 

[mauvais]

I'll head out shortly, although I have to say it's tempting to remain under this duvet. I'll be about for a few hours but won't be a large one for me.

Assuming I get down before you move anywhere else, where exactly are you?

 

[Wookey]

I’m standing at the bar. Are you the tall dude with the beard?

That would be me.

 

[Callie]

I'm home too. Too old for these shenanigans...

 

[stethoscope]

Ace to see everyone. Big up the London urban contingent Chuffed to finally get to meet you @Spymaster

 

[StoneRoad]

Hope you all have enough pintage etc and enjoy pub time.
(no, not really jealous, just a teeny bit, maybe)
I will get to one of these events ...
