Northern Winter Soiree - 3 December in Hebden

[farmerbarleymow]

Following on from here, we've sort of settled on 3 December as the date to meet in Blackpool.

If you can come along then great, and let us know here.

The very rough plan is that we'd meet around early afternoon onwards, and hopefully that will cater for everyone including those with children in tow.

No other plans than that at present, but Throbbing Angel will be our nominated lifeguard in case any of us drunkenly falls into the sea.

I'll check out train times at some point and see how much of a slog it is from the Toon

Only across the hills - dead easy.

Anyway, you've already said yes, so you can't back out now - or we'll send Shirl over to forcibly bring you across.

Stop using me as a threat, people will think I'm not a gentlewoman.

You're our secret weapon.

 

[Glitter]

You're not. Look what you and Fez909 did to me

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Curious - but don't wanna know

#shudder

 

[farmerbarleymow]

The tattoo or the scabs?

 

[Throbbing Angel]

the scabs

 

[farmerbarleymow]

the scabs

Though I wouldn't put it past Shirl to give people drunken tattoos.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

I would usually greet someone with such an injury with "Did you come off you bike?!"

 

[friendofdorothy]

Even though its beyond zone 2 - we're considering this. We don't get up north very often. What sort of thing are you planning on doing apart from falling drunkenly into the sea?

Last time I was in Blackpool was for a dirty weekend a lifetime ago. I danced on the bar at Flamingos wearing long red satin evening gloves as Bananaramarama were playing live. Planning anything like that?

 

[hiccup]

Blackpool eh? I'm just down the coast in Southport these days.

I heard a rumour they are...

It was Fez909 I was just an innocent bystander

Mine would be 'you've you met Shirl then?'

 

[Shirl]

Mine would be 'have you met Shirl then?'

Do you want people to join us in Blackpool or not?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

You're our hard as nails bouncer.

Four people, Euston to Blackpool out 830 arr 1114, and back 1820 arr 2138 , £176. 3 hours each way. Just sayin.

 

[Glitter]

£176 each?!?

Can't believe I'm still getting the blame for this! It was the absence of me that caused it

Walked around an entire city, over the walls, down roads etc. All good. Then one road without my supportive arm and look what happens!!

I'm bringing a harness and lead to Blackpool in case my services are required again.



Of course I'll be bringing contracts and disclaimers for people to sign, to stop my good reputation being dragged through the mud (tarmac?) again

 

[mauvais]

£176 each?!?

Split, although I couldn't get those prices.

 

[sojourner]

Nah, can't make that date sorry - you're all deprived of my marvellously witty and intelligent (drunk) company I'm afraid

 

[Glitter]

Split, although I couldn't get those prices.

That's not that bad then. It was almost that to Chester from mine.

 

[rich!]

It was trainline, and yes, split 4 ways. I think there might be an optimum week to buy the tickets on for ideal cheapness... and the big advantage is everyone *has* to travel back on the same train, making it less likely that we'll leave a drunk urb in a corner somewhere

Depends who they are as to how big an advantage
