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

[mango5]

Sorry folks I'm not going to make it. Got family duties.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I'm still endeavoring to be there, don't know my northern quarter to my southern but hope to meet up.

If you aren't familiar with the area and need collecting from somewhere let me know.

oh, that's a pity. I love it that you come to the northern meets. Happen you'll make the spring one when Barleybabes is organising a bit of fishing along with the drinking.
Or did he say flashing

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Or did he say flashing

I'll be redoing the lead flashing on the roof of Gibsons Mill while you lot of drunken ne'er do wells are falling into the steam below.

Cheers FB. I will probably be travelling from Liverpool on train. For some reason I was still thinking it was in Leeds even though I remember that one getting cancelled. I've even been looking at places to stay there overnight. What a tool .

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Cheers FB. I will probably be travelling from Liverpool on train.

Probably arriving at Platform 13 at Manchester Piccadilly I guess?

That's close enough to the den of iniquity that Shirl will be presiding over. The wrong 'un.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I realise now that I will have to close my studio for the day to be there.

Bring your wares and tout them round the pub.

 

[friedaweed]

I'm probably bringing the fella

Yup I'm bringing my wife

This year you'll see who's the boss

She's actually really looking forward to seeing you lot again. We'd just got engaged when you all came to Chester. One of my mates said at the wedding "Last time I saw you you looked like the pied piper of hippies when I saw you walking out of Waitrose with the great unwashed walking behind you"

The great unwashed? Cheeky git
I know for a fact that Glitter had a stand up wash at the kitchen sink before she left home.

Yeah her knees

 

[Spymaster]

Can I come, you norvern monkeys?

 

[Calamity1971]

^^^^^^^^

 

[Shirl]

Can I come, you norvern monkeys?

Yes, that would be fun

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Can I come, you norvern monkeys?

Course yer can, yer fucking southern wrong 'un.

Might need a translator mind...

 

[farmerbarleymow]

It'd be great to meet you Spymaster though, so hope you can make it.

* see, us norvern monkeys can talk proper if we need to.

 

[sojourner]

Hurrah

erm, does that mean I have to be responsible for both of you getting your train home?

Yes but you won't have to carry us or push or owt Shirl - just sort of gently shove us in the right direction

Well, he's coming SO FAR anyway, barring any last minute gig bookings.

 

[friedaweed]

Can I come, you norvern monkeys?

Of course you can. I'll put you up mate if you need board and lodgings

Spy would be a great addition to our monothoughtless clique

 

[Spymaster]

What can I say?

Meet the monkeys and a night at Frieda’s gaff.

I’m in. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Sweet

 

[moomoo]

When is this?

 

[cybershot]

When is this?

2pm, 25th November

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Spymaster, as its grim oop North and we don't want you falling down a mineshaft in the peasouper, head for the third chimney from the left and the pub is round the corner. Just listen for the clacking - that'll be Shirl dancing in her best clogs.

I've met him mate and can vouch for his ability to navigate the mean streets and find good food after 12 pints. He's a sound chap to be fair, he may struggle with cold beer that has a head on it but in the main he's one of the few southerners I've met whose Toryness seems to subside with enough ale.

I'm not sure if he's going to be safe when Shirl starts arm-wrestling all the blokes and sojourner commences the bare knuckle trolley racing but the wife has said you can fuck off if you think I'm letting you and him go out on your own after the sate you both got in in London she will chaperone him and provide translation post the three pint mark (She talks Cockney Wanker fluently).

 

[blairsh]

Would be well up for this but logistics may better my intentions

So you're saying he's a fucking reprobate?

 

[friedaweed]

So you're saying he's a fucking reprobate?

Yep. He's perfect

 

[Espresso]

I really wanted to pop my Urb cherry at this, but I have a sodding wedding.
No. To be fair, wantI to go to the wedding, which is why I am, but I must make one of these days out soon.

[Shirl]

You still planning to be in the middle of the North Sea? or have you seen the error of your ways and decided that where northern urbs are is the place to be

 

[Dovydaitis]

Still in the North Sea
