We do do that as well. Not in two weeks though as I already have a commitment on the Saturday

3 weeks then?

 

[Septimus Rufiji]

I know I said yes before but.....

this is on the correct side of the penines and there's nothing quite like the thrill of getting the 192 when you've had one or two sherberts over the odds, so count me in.

 

[Fez909]

correct

More conspirators!

 

[sojourner]

And the scars to prove it.

'who put those fucking stairs there?'

I managed to ruin my prescription sunglasses and wound my pride in a cafe recently, going arse over tit on 3 small steps, in front of a crowded cafe. Number 1 rule for any dickhead falls is that they never happen in empty places

Anyway, I am potentially up for this, but I fucking hate Manchester.

But thinks of all the lovely urbs...

3 weeks then?

I'll have to get back to you, I'm going to be away one weekend soon. As soon as I know when I'm away I'll confirm a date.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Two Northern meets I've been to..both over the hills. Did I complain? Nah, course not.

The Hebden one was in Yorkshire - forcing me to travel across the border into the badlands.

 

[Fez909]

The Hebden one was in Yorkshire

Barely!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Barely!

Calling Shirl a plastic Yorkie? That's fighting talk me lad.

 

[Shirl]

Barely!

Err, what you sayin' there chuck

 

[aqua]

I'm a maybe. I have a RL mate who has just moved back to Manchester so might be able to combine seeing her with this. Or I might not be free due to child related stuff, or being constantly fucking skint but it's in the diary at least.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Siouxsie and Puddy_Tat might be able to come along to this. Puddy_Tat especially likes long and inevitably delayed train journeys.

Don't be like that - you'd get to meet Shirl. She's a proper wrong 'un.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

I wouldn't mind visiting manchester again - quite some time since i have ventured to that part of the world

would need booking time off work, and sorting accommodation and so on. and while the current crisis at work might have blown over by then, there will be another one along by then...

Excuses, excuses. Shirl - sort him out.

 

[Shirl]

Excuses, excuses. Shirl - sort him out.

I've just checked and he appears to be in Berkshire. We ought to give him at least a little leeway
Puddy_Tat may all your crises be small ones and you could check out the trains just in case

 

[friedaweed]

Holidaying in Sealand then? I think they have a telephone line to the mainland.

 

[space-tout]

Sorry, posted in the Leeds one just now but thanks for the mention farmerbarleymow.

 

[space-tout]

Oh and don't count me out just yet, I'm waiting to find out if/when I'm having another knee op. If I can I will.

Take care folks and thanks once more farmerbarleymow

 

[farmerbarleymow]
