if i told you i'd have to kill you

if i told you i'd have to kill youDon't worry about that, I'm completely immortal, have energy shields surrounding my body, and anyway I have the Awful Long-bladed Sharp-pointed Keen-edged Harrowed Sword of DOOM to defend myself if need be. Besides, I only have to press a button and 20,000 guards fire mercilessly down at you in unison. Besides, it's not like you can get in. Someone has to do their research. :D

Honestly no, as I have never had to stay, but a google search will find something :)

I would come but I'm too young :(

You really had me scared for a bit. Don't ever do that again! Well, welcome home. I'd love to stay but... you know. I'll talk to you some other time. You better have gone on that picnic by then. Or else.

Le bumpity...

Recap of the time and place :-

2pm, 10th August, The Temple Pub, Manchester (for map see first page)

A shameless bump. But then do I have any shame at all? :p

(For those of you who have sigs turned off.... ~Czardas, Supreme Ruler of the Multiverse)

Thanks for the bump :)

I'll definitely be able to go. My boss says that a day off on August 10th will be fine.

Oh. Yeah.


Well, I think he can do without a lift for that ride. :p

You guys aren't going to know what to make of my accent. It's kinda weird. Well-travelled, LOL. Cog and Unfree have heard it, I'm sure it gave them a good laugh.

BTW, what time are we meeting up? I can make it 6pm onwards, not sure about earlier. I'm going to be in Stafford until late afternoon.

squeeeeeee! i love strange accents! stop getting me so excited!

squeeeeeee! i love strange accents! stop getting me so excited!
Jesus, you should go up to Maryport and Cockermouth (no jokes please). The accent there is a nice mix of Scottish, Geordie and summat else I couldn't place. The result is...well, disturbing.

lol, well i don't think i live too far from Cockermouth so i'll have to go one day lol

I'm going to be in Stafford until late afternoon.

Lucky you :p

Sorry guys, but I've found out that it'll be too inconvenient to go. I have to be back by Thursday, it's an expensive journey and I'll be spending more time travelling than I would in Manchester.

For shame :(

We'll drink a pint in your absense for you though (well I will)

Ein Bump

Ok, i was thinking at about 2pm....but by the sounds of things thats a bit earlier than many can make it for...who else is going to be there by then? or are people wanting it a it later on?

i just went to the train station to get my tickets - but gave up cos it was taking ages. gonna buy em on the net tonight.
as for time, if i get there by two i gotta leave at peak times and it'll cost a bomb (and i'd have to get up early ;)), so i'll probably be there more like between 3 and 4
and its 40 quid for the ticket :eek:
and the journey lasts 4 and a half hours :eek:


hmmm i might have to think if this is practical seeing how i'll have to stay over in a hostel/hotel at cost as well :S

Ok then...4pm....that ok for everyone?

I'm guessing 4pm is OK, but I'm unlikely to be there before 6pm. Just so you guys don't all run off to somewhere more exciting.

That's fine too.

One of the perks of living in the greatest city in the universe :p

(Nope, even after 20 years I haven't lost the chip on my shoulder)

I'm just the other side of the Pennines in North Yorkshire

I could make it

I don't even know how long it's gonna take me, i should probably find out somehow

I'm guessing 4pm is OK, but I'm unlikely to be there before 6pm. Just so you guys don't all run off to somewhere more exciting.
it might be a decent idea for some phone numbers to be exchanged in case this sorta thing happens

anyway i didn't buy the tickets this evening but will do it tomorrow - after working out it was gonna cost a lot more than i had previously thought the parents kindly stepped in with a contribution :)
= i can come (though possibly slightly hungover :S )

LOL, your parents paying your travel expenses to meet random internet people... :eek:

Phone numbers, OK...if Kellarly puts together an up-to-date list of who's coming, I'll TM mine out. Though I get the feeling I'll end up regretting it :( :p

Ok, list of who is coming at this moment in time (or who have made it more than clear that they shall be coming)

Kellarly
Tactical Grace
Pure Metal
Tink
Anarchic Conceptions
The Tribes Of Longton


If anyone else wants to come POST IT HERE! :)

I'll be TG my mobile number to those on the list above as well as my real name for those of you who don't know it already :)

LOL, your parents paying your travel expenses to meet random internet people... :eek:

yeah they're uber-kind like that :D

Damn, this almost makes me want to cave in and buy a digital camera.

bought train ticket just now - should be able to get there 4-ish :)
so that means i'm definatley coming now.... though in doing this i realised just where manchester is and how bloody far away it is! i thought it was just by birmingham sort of thing :P

yeah, my grasp of uk geography can be described as "tenuous" ;)
or non-existant...

whare the devil are you?..lands-end?

I am pretty sure he is (or is for much of the year) in Cardiff...

ok, I'll tg out my name and phone number to all on the list, i'll try and be there for 4 but well let's face it, women can't read maps so it'll probably take me forever to get from the station to the pub

Way to challenge stereotypes! :p

EDIT: Got your message, cheers.

:eek: I was in England just a couple of weeks ago! It should have been then! :(

Oh well, that's what comes of taking a two-month hiatus from NationStates....

*saunters in*

So...this wednesday then.

*starts furiously ringing up work to get time off*

*realises it's 9:15 on a Sunday, so only the rats are in the office*

*slowly replaces phone*

Hang on, we said Wednesday didn't we?

*sprints back to the phone, starts dialling up the guy he sails with to say he can't make Wednesday*

*realises he's probably still at the club, getting quite drunk*

*slowly replaces the phone*

Fuck. See kids, this is what happens when you're unprepared.

*bashes face into keyboard*

LOL, I have five job interviews this week, I've been keeping Wednesday evening free for the last month. Time management 4tw. I just hope the people in Stafford don't delay me. :(

At least you can phone in sick. :p

Clever...

Sick day on wednesday then i take it... :p

EDIT: Beaten to it...

Oooh hey good idea, I'm usually to be found on Oxford Road anyway.

If only that was the biggest problem. You see, I'm a temp in an education office, so summer holidays + school-based work = nowt to do. However, I sail competitively on wednesday evenings. I'd have to turn up at 4, stay until about 4:50 then leave to catch the train back to get home in time to get all the way back to just outside bolton, on a reservoir in the middle of nowhere for 6:30 at the latest.

Plus, the office I work in just happens to be managed by my mum, so me going "Uh, I'm off to meet a load of people I know from the internet" will spark a circuit in her brain. This circuit runs as follows: Internet - bad - people (unknown) - bad - my child - mothering sub-routine kicks in (regardless of age) ------- "No, you cannot leave work early to go to Manchester" - circuit breaker acts.

Plus, the office I work in just happens to be managed by my mum...
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hold it right there. Dude.

OK, here's what you do. Lie.

TG has got it right...

Little white lies hurt no one...well in this case anywho :)

I should probably add the "responsible" disclaimer that all people attending this event should inform a RL friend of their plans and location. :(

(Just not your parents and work colleagues.)

whare the devil are you?..lands-end?
southampton, hampshire... there are places more south (devon, cornwall) but not many :P


I am pretty sure he is (or is for much of the year) in Cardiff...
yeah thats uni - at home for the hols now

aw :(
you better come... some people (cough cough me!) are making a shitload of effort here!

a short question: what else we gonna do? meet at the pub, stay there? go grab some food? i'm there all evening so i'm up for whatever :)

My parents have said they think its a great idea :)

Mainly caus my mum knows someone else who's daughter has done the same and it was all good.

My parents have said they think its a great idea :)

same here thankfully, largely cos all my mates are either staying at uni, dont live here anyway, or are just not in town for a few weeks... and i'm starting to go mental on my own *mad evil cackle*



edit: got TGs, too lazy to tg y'all back individually so phone number be below (subtly hidden of course)

07730 55 61 40
real name is Huw

I'm thinking of meeting there, then getting some food later on. Staying til shortly before my last train, which is 11.20 IIRC.

OK, here's what you do. Lie.

Just say [randon name] from [someplace far away] is in Manchester for wednesday early before he/she goes [far away/to somewhere perilous/both] and this is the last time I'll be able to see them.

Then just pretend she knows who they are but has forgotten about them ;)

Also, my parents know (plus a few others). But I suppose leaving work to go to Manchester from Lancashire is a far cry away from taking the 42 into the city centre :)

old school buddies work well

a short question: what else we gonna do? meet at the pub, stay there? go grab some food? i'm there all evening so i'm up for whatever :)
I was hoping for drinks, relax and chat somewhere without a 110dB bassline, then maybe food...I'm free until midnight, just not too sure when I'm showing up. I'm hoping to make it for 4pm, but could be later. If you're moving on already at 6pm, just text people to update your location.

I don't know what to do, i don't know whether to leave at about 9 and go home which would mean me having to be at blackpool train station at 10:30 and walking through town to get a bus home or if i should stay at a hostel which would mean me having to walk to the hostel at night through Manchester on my own, plus i'd be late for work the next morning

there's always taxis


ooh aliens is on channel 4... bbl

If i were you, i'd take the train home, mainly because its going to be safer.

OK, so I can get off work early. I can take the train from Accrington (where I work) to Manchester (I think, still checking that) and be at the temple roughly an hour after I leave. From there, I've got some time to meet and greet the people who are there, have very little to drink (I'll have to drive later) then leave Manchester for Preston at about 4:40/4:50, get to preston about 5:50ish, bus it home, get back, leave almost straight away with all my kit and get to BSC about 6:30. I think. And I may have to leave earlier, allowing for train/bus related fuck-ups.

Bugger.

Any chance of starting it say, midday? :(

Yeah i'm watching it now.

in a hostel


i think i'll go home though, i've got buses from Blackpool later than that before and Manchester seems scarier than Blackpool, i'm sure i'll be fine

I could meet you then, but ask your self this. Do you want to spend 4 hours with only me for company? :p

Ok, so me, tink, AC and TL can get there earlier...i can be there by 12...

Yeah i'm watching it now.
Ditto. Although there's no real need, I must have seen the damn film about 1001 times.

EDIT: Ok, so me, tink, AC and TL can get there earlier...i can be there by 12...
Hell, 2p.m. would give me 2.5h of your combined presences.

Cool, no problem if you guys want to start earlier. I'll just feel a bit awkward later, LOL.

And I think if Tink has been sitting in a pub with the guys for several hours and found them to be non-psychopathic, she won't feel uncomfortable being walked to her hostel / train. ;)

OK then 2 pm as originallt thought.

Then we wait for the late comers, stay til 6.30ish, then find some food, then see what takes our fancy. Sound good?

Is the Temple open all afternoon? And were we planning on sitting in there all day, just drinking and chatting?

I'm not complaining, it's just that all I get to do is the chatting. :p

Well yeah, but some pubs close in the afternoon when business is slow e.g. between 2 and 6. I was just wondering what we knew about the pub.

Oh shush you. Some of us have a good chance of being laughed out of the pub by the barkeep and have the social skills of a small, stagnant puddle. You're damn right I get nervous with new people :p

will you be wearing the sexy hat? :p
Alas, it was borrowed. :(

I'll probably just be wearing my default dark shirt and trousers.

Hmm, what to wear, what to wear?

Something not covered in cat hair I suppose. :confused:

OK peeps, I just got this satellite image of the area between Oxford Street Station and Great Bridgewater street. I know the earlier maps were much better (having road names and all) but I think this just goes to show how short the walk is.

Ta da! (http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3442/temple5wx.jpg)

Erm...he's gay? :confused:

EDIT: Anyway, I have to go now. Sleep overcometh.

Since the earlier starting time was partly because of my request, I'll try to keep you informed on whether I can make it. There's a good chance I'll be able to, but...it isn't 100%. Ta raa.

Aaaaand for my next trick...

Oh, BTW. I'll tg mobile and stuff tomorrow, when I'm sure I can come.

I;m off to bed i think, work in the morning :(


nighty night xoxooxoxox :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Le bumpity

...so people are already discusiing what they are going to wear...

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, i suppose if you look out for some guy with extremely short hair and a green AK47 shirt you should be ok :)

I have selected a black shirt with soon TM on the front, and an unnaturally green pair of trousers. I will also be wearing a lost expression.

Should be easy to spot. :p

and i'll be wearing a suitably nervous expression :S
but you can spot me by looking for the fat dude with long hair, most likely wearing baggy old jeans and some old tshirt :)

I'll be the short little girl with black hair and a terrified/lost/confused expression

and i think i'll be wearing a black skirt, white top, black jacket and really scruffy trainers and some multicoloured bracelets

A bit like PM, except my jeans won't be that baggy (though they are old).

And since everyone else is describing their expressions; probably very nervous and tired at the same time.

Well if we're talking about expressions, i'll be the same as the lot of you... :D

But to let you know, i won't be online from now on til we meet, so you all have my number if you need to contact me.

Good luck everyone. Hope you get there safe and sound :)

I'm sorry to say this, but...

I can't make it. After an attempt on Monday of asking for a day off (A definite 'no' followed by 'and I'll know if you go off "sick" as well) and an attempt tuesday ('I said no yesterday, why should I say yes today?') it's official - I need a week in advance to get a day off. For fucking temporary work. :mad:

Not only that, but I had a back-up plan fall through, too. I was supposed to be going out tonight on a heavy drinking session (friend of a friend's return from a holiday - basically an excuse to get lashed), the idea being to get very hungover and catch a day off. The only problem was a pervasive skintness and the 'main man' being food poisoned led to it being called off. Plan B out the window. :(

A message to you all, people - always have plans A to F in stock. Anyway, I imagine you'll all have a great time (even though I'm unable to attend ;) ) and I want loadsa pictures of a very drunk gang of forumites by friday. Don't get too lost on the way there, Tink :)

Oh, and I realise the 2pm meet time was partly down to my poor arrangement skills, so if anyone can get this before too late and inform everyone getting there earlier. Or, alternatively, start drinking earlier and be quite sozzled for the late arrivals :p

Have a super smashing day and all that :fluffle:

Awwww thats a bugger, well someone with a better internet connection than myself will probably upload some photos so you can at least see the madness...

Yeah well, you'd damn well better. I want to see some drunken nakedness in the centre of Manchester! OK, so not necessarily 'naked' but, you know...a little craziness wouldn't go amiss.

I'll tell you what - if it goes well, and you feel the need to organise another 'event' in Manchester, organise it at the end of the last uni week before Crimbo. That way, I'll actually be in Manchester, I'll have some money, I won't be working and I certainly won't be sailing (unless we fit the icebreaker to the bow this year ;) ).






And I want video clips. Damn it!

I'm going to resurrect this to ask a question.... what happened?
