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

[friendofdorothy]

Look forward to meeting all you northern folk. Its been 20 years since I last visited Manchester, so its about time.

 

[Shirl]

I'm looking forward to meeting you friendofdorothy. I expected friedaweed to be a skinny kid with dreadlocks and thought farmerbarleymow would be rotund with a tweed jacket and twill trousers
People always surprise me

edit to include buscador as I'd missed an earlier post

 

[Fez909]

Still coming

 

[Shirl]

friendofdorothy and I happen to be visiting Widnes that weekend and would like to escape from her family join you for a few pints, if you don't mind.

Definitely

I'll do my best to surprise you, but it rather depends on what you are expecting.
I'd like to imagine you are a woman in a big swirly dress.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Welcome Widnes folk.

Wor Shirl is an incredibly glamorous older woman - she always dresses in a sparkly ballgown as she sashays round Hebden. She's the proper talk of the town.

thats just how I imagine her!

 

[Shirl]

thats just how I imagine her!

The only true words there were older woman and that's only because I was born a couple of decades premature

 

[farmerbarleymow]

thats just how I imagine her!

Prepare to be disappointed.

You going to be an honorary Mancastrian by then? Or is the move a wee bit further ahead?

 

[Calamity1971]

Don't worry - I'm well downhill from her so have a head start.

If you catch me. Which'll be never.

Mmmm, it's still happening but definitely not before then. I'd say Feb now. It's not really on me. It's when my boss finds an office. And so far they haven't found one...or even looked, AFAIK.

So who is bringing the body bags to deal with the inevitable stair casualties?

Bet moose has some spare she could bring given her weekend 'hobbies'...

stair casualties? no one mentioned any hazards. Who's responsible for the risk assessment, here? We've never had this problem at south London Drinks

moose has a disturbing hobby of using dismembered human hands for necklaces. She will get you to sign a disclaimer to allow her to use your body parts for jewellery.

[farmerbarleymow]

moose - over to you, and your weird hobbies...

 

[moose]

I considering moving on from hands to eyeballs.
However, given recent form, I'm the most likely to fall down the stairs. Or you are, fbm.
Place bets now.

 

[friedaweed]

Shirl always looks hot at northern meets. If I were 50 years older

You just got us mixed up then

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Shirl's going to kill you - you're only two years younger than her.

 

[friedaweed]

Shirl's going to kill you - you're only two years younger than her son.

FIFY

Nice try, you middle-aged old bugger.

You're one to talk. I thought Sasaferrato had finally made it to a northern meet last time I saw you

 

[Glitter]

I could also be in touch by skype or facetime. I will be wankered on cava in the sun. (Hopefully)

I expected friedaweed to look like a proper scally and barleybabes to look like a garden gnome.
