tMP Social- Manchester

[Naomi McFadyen]

Having spoken to several people already on MSN, a lot of people seem to be up for the idea of a tMP social in Manchester.
I thought I'd start the balls rolling on this and see how many people would definatly be up for it, and then sort out dates (which could be a challenge, but we'll get there!)

So, whos up for it?

[IckleSop]

I Reckon it could be a good laugh, although i already know you nai!! but it would be great to meet everyone else!

[leisa]

that was quite quick becky!! im impressed! u tryin to get myers on board the tmp train??? :wink:

[Naomi McFadyen]

Yea it will be a great laugh!

Be great to meet loads of new people and catch up on the gossip with the (excuse this) old, heheeeeee...

[super_sop]

sounds good to me

[leisa]

get a' pollin!!!

[Naomi McFadyen]

sounds good to me

whoohooo!

[Sellers_Bird]

hows about some provisional dates then...jus as an idea, no point sayin we'll come if we're all on holidays?! :lol:

[super_sop]

What about December, after christmas perhaps. somewere near my birthday would be good :lol: :wink:

[Naomi McFadyen]

I was thinking of either in a few weeks, or the week after the Nationals in London... (provided that isn't half term week, so no1s away ;-P)
Then we need to find a night where there's not too many people having band rehearsals, or choose to have it on a saturday...

Having it in October will give people more time to free up dates in diaries... as I say, this is the challenge...

Any suggestions welcome!

[Naomi McFadyen]

well, yes after christmas is the other possibility... but a lot of people may be away... (?)

[super_sop]

I thought perhaps Christmas as those of us that work for a living mite find it a little easier to get there

[Naomi McFadyen]

I wont be in Manchester christmas week though... holidays for us students and visiting family down south...

[super_sop]

perhaps the midle of the country would be better then. somewere were every one can get to

[Naomi McFadyen]

well, lets stick with the idea of Manchester for now... see what others think and suggest before changing cities... I still reckon October... no snow then! ;-) :lol:

[Sellers_Bird]

october sounds good, no snow.... more choice of evening attire for us girlies instead of big winter woolie coats.. cant be end of coct as its pontins so that gives 3 other weekends... discuss!

[Naomi McFadyen]

October it is then!
Just need a selection of dates to work with now

[Sellers_Bird]

right well... Fri 3rd/Sat 4th (sellers have band job fri 3rd..so thats no for me) Fri 10/Sat 11th (sellers have band job on 11th so again, no for me) not lookin good.....the its the finals the weekend after..... HOWS ABOUT NOVEMEBER??? :oops:

[Big Fella]

Sounds like it could be an interesting evening..
As long as beer is involved, I don't see any problems...

Not playing for anybody at the moment, so any weekend is a good weekend..
:D :D :D 8) 8)

[Naomi McFadyen]

I slept on this last night... November sounds the better option to me...

So- dates that people CAN do in November...
we'll get there oneday!

[Sellers_Bird]

this is a nightmare.... i think im well busy every weekend in nov... so u might have to count me out! :roll: :x :( got yorkshire festival of music and scottish open lol... i'll let you know! ps, Naruco, are u ever off here???

[Naomi McFadyen]

what about weekdays?

am I ever off here? lol!
Hardly... only when I need sleep or go out... Other than that, I'm constantly online ;o) (interent junky me!)

[Naomi McFadyen]

Suggested dates for November:
Weekends:
Sat 1st, Sun 2nd, Sun 9th, Sun 23rd, Sat 29th, Sun 30th - the other days I have gigs with Leyland...
Weekdays: Any Wednesday or Friday...

Over to you!

[sparkling_quavers]

well we could still have a manchester one (which would be pretty easy to organise) and then work on a big one for everyone for sometime in the new year (after the event). I reckon a pub crawl and then a curry! I would have thought half term week would be good for most as the students are still around anyway. It may be better to make it a sat though then people who wanted to travel up could do.

[Naomi McFadyen]

yup, sounds good Rach!

[leisa]

yey!!

[Jo Elson]

Count me in. Saturday's are a bit awkward cos of work but weekdays and sunday's are definately cool. It would be ace to meet you tMPers to put faces to names!

[Darth_Tuba]

I'll make any night out in Manchester if I'm free. With living in the city centre it would be rude not to! :guiness

[Mike Saville]

Give us plenty of noice and me 'n Bladder will drive up.

[ploughboy]

I think we'll go on all day looking for a time/place/pub to suit everyone...

Someone should take the plunge and say sat 21st november and see where that gets us.... There'll never be a perfect date!! but avoiding contests as best we can and Rembereance sunday with a hangover is a good idea!!

Somebody just take the initiative.....

I will be there tho!

21st November

</Raining On Parade>

[Darth_Tuba]

There's just not enough weekend's in the year! :? I think anytime between now and Christmas is going to be very busy for a lot of people. Jan/Feb is usually quieter. Will have more weekends to work with then I'm sure.

[Naomi McFadyen]

yes that's very true Chris...
Jan/Feb seems to be the better option (now, how many times have I said this now? :lol: )...

[sparkling_quavers]

I say make it the 1st Nov (sat) other than that it will be waiting till at least December :shock:

[Naomi McFadyen]

ok- whos free on the 1st Nov then?

those who are say 'aye'

aye!

Played pub Golf yesterday..... oh dear! we let a rugby player set the rules (schoolboy error), a par was either a downed pint, a downed double and mixer or 2 downed alcopops!! It was very messy after 9 holes!! and I got bunkered at the 3rd (have to retake shot :( ) :guiness :guiness

[sparkling_quavers]

I'll be up for it if I can steal a sofa to sleep on from Sparkly :roll: pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez?!!

Yeah sure no problem Colin... it's £20 B&B at ours but if u r lucky I will settle for a couple of drinks since I love ya so much !

Hehe. We have a tradition of the U6th Lads doing that on the last friday of the christmas term every year. Its a very rugby orientated school so you can imagine the result! They spend as little time in each pub as possible, going to as many places as possible (and we have a fair number; record for most licenced (sp?) premises per head of the population :)) and down a pint in each. Winner is the last one standing.
Its a lads only affair, but we were also out and bumped into them on occasion as they went around, and it was pretty funny to watch how rapid the deterioration was!

As for the meet, I may wonder along depending how student life it treating me. Good excuse to meet up with a couple of people i wont have seen for a while!

Thanks Colin :tup though have to admit I was a bit slow tonight (had had 3 whole days without a beer before that though :( so was out of practice!

[Aidan]

[SoloBaritone]

Just got back from sunny Tenerife and I've got NFI and CBA with reading all the posts on here. All I know is I'll not be going on this night out cos I'm in London.

Jayne

[Aidan]

shame

[asteria]

Yay, social night in manchester, it'd be rude to refuse a night out when i can stagger home so easily!! :D

[Lauradoll]

Yey we can bring all the crew as well!!! If they're not too busy! Or important!! :wink:

[Naomi McFadyen]

Right, about time we finalised the details to our little social!

Thank you!

[SoloBaritone]

Hiya Naomi!

Hope you have a fun night. I'll just have to see everyone at Spennymoor or Scottish Open. Me and Lee are staying at mine Spennymoor weekend so we'll be absolutely wasted after we've played, yey!

Jayne

PS. Chris, I haven't had a private message off you for weeks, surely you're not working hard?!!

[Naomi McFadyen]

Hya mate!
Will make sure a good night will be had by all... you'll be missing a ball!

Will see you at Spennymoor!
Take it easy til then :-)

[SoloBaritone]

I'm playing in the RAH that day so no can do!! I might have known you'd reply staright away, you're never off here!

I haven't been on for ages cos I've got CBA now I'm back at uni and haven't got 24 hour access like I did at his during summer!

See you in the smashing North East!!

Jayne

[Naomi McFadyen]

lol
I'm glad that I have internet sorted in the flat at uni now... it's just like being at home with constant unlimited access... lovely! (you can tell I'm addicted, cant you :-P)

See you round then! :-)

[Darth_Tuba]

PS. Chris, I haven't had a private message off you for weeks, surely you're not working hard?!!

Yes, I've actually had to do work and not be on t'internet all day otherwise I get smacked wrists! :? I will send you a PM though if it'll make you happy :wink:

[SoloBaritone]

Yey!!

I got up this morning especially for a lecture and it's been cancelled. So now I have to fill my time up on here till I can be ***** to go home!

Jayne

[Edit: oops, the bleeper let that one through! Dyl]

[Cornetto]

Hey...
I quite like this idea of a social... Manchester's surely the only place to have it too. One problem, won't wetherspoons totally heaving by then?
I thought Scubar was the banders pub anyway! Never too busy in there either.
Might be there but we have a concert in Wrexham so I'll be late if I do.

[lynchie]

heaving at 7.30? wouldn't have thought so... might get pretty packed in there later though!

[Cornetto]

heaving at 7.30? wouldn't have thought so... might get pretty packed in there later though!

true. I did say we have a concert tho so I won't make it till later anyway.

[Naomi McFadyen]

:-) heaving or not, we're starting there... dont worry we'll get to the Scu Bar... ;-)
Look forward to seeing everyone there... looks like we're gonna get a big crowd :-)

Can I suggest to anyone who's going to be late to have someones mobile number to find out where we are; as we'll hopefully be moving round to 4 or 5 different places... If you'd like my number pm me and I'll give it you...

[geordiecolin]

I may still be able to make it over. i've a gig in barnsley til 5, but should be able to get train over and be in manc by 9ish.

Would need somewhere to stay though

[sparkling_quavers]

Would need somewhere to stay though

hmmmm is that a hint?

[neiltwist]

Would need somewhere to stay though

hmmmm is that a hint?

is that an offer? ;)

I'd prefer to stay out too (last train at 11 :()

[Pythagoras]

Will probably be coming, will drag along my brother whose a fresher, and claims not to have found any good pubs in Manchester yet, sure this can be put right! :D

? :roll: :?

[neiltwist]

sorry, just got one problem, where is deansgate's weatherspoons! there are so many in manchester, i may even have to think for once!

[sparkling_quavers]

As Neil said, is that an offer?

No problem

[geordiecolin]

COOL!!

Just got to find some money now.......
Does Manchester have any silly dresscode rules on a weekend?? Newcastle is a pain for this eg, no trainers, no timberlands, no denim, no tatoos...
Will Jeans and Trainers be acceptable?

[neiltwist]

As Neil said, is that an offer?

No problem

is there space for a second, or is that being cheeky?

[lynchie]

Jeans are ok pretty much everywhere... trainers less so...

[asteria]

Moon under water (weatherspoons) has a policy of no trainers (and possibly jeans?) after about 9pm so you may have a problem.

Sorry i'm not gonna make it, forgot i already agreed to go to a bonfire party, but have fun people!

[neiltwist]

sorry, just got one problem, where is deansgate's weatherspoons! there are so many in manchester, i may even have to think for once!

found it, but I knew that there was a reason that I agreed with cornetto slightly, it's the beer festival from now until sunday!

good stuff! :D

[neiltwist]

and oh yeah, everyone come to manchester, you'll get to see some of the wonderful christmas decorations they have already put up!

[PeterBale]

and oh yeah, everyone come to manchester, you'll get to see some of the wonderful christmas decorations they have already put up!

Oxford Street and Regent Street in London's West End are putting theirs up as I write :wink: :lol: :lol:

[aimee_euph]

St. Helens Town Centre has put their's up... so everyone will see them for Wilks!

[T-Horn]

deansgate does have some some dresscodes on weekends. to be on the safe side go with shirt, trousers and shoes.
also just a precaution some bars wont let u in if ur in a huge group. Split urselves up into small groups. I've had a few problems with this of late.
Hope you have a good nite. Still undecided whether i'm going!!

[lynchie]

I think I'll probably only be able to stay for an hour or so... want to get the train down southward saturday night. I'm sure you'll all have time to buy me a drink though! :D

[geordiecolin]

Just discovered my gig on saturday teatime is actually next week, so less hassle for me!! will see u at a reasonable hour!!

Re: xmas lights, Sheffield City Council doesnt even take them down!!
