Boom! We've got sitters sorted for't girls so Mrs Binners is joining me. She's digging out her Versace Safety Pin Dress to keep the Prestwich Papperazzi happy. She's asked if that bitch Paltrow is going, as she always eats all the crisps!
I hate it when Paltrow does that. I've stopped telling her which pub I'm in. Hurley too because she farts when she's had too many WKDs.
Hi,gutted I can't make this now,so two more places available.Enjoy all.
I'm a bit pissed, however initial indications are that we raised £132.60. Which is nice.
Sobered up a bit now.
Thanks to:-
Xherbivorex for shelling out the initial money.
Terrahawk for rounding up the projection kit.
Budge @ Team JMC for the free Morfs and stickers.
Binners for the excellent artwork and the raffle prize.
Singletrack for the sub that we gave away. (eventually)
The people who made the film because it was really rather good.
Tom at The Church Inn.
You lot for turning up.
I like the idea of showing a film about an underground movement in the upstairs room of a pub full of people that ride pushbikes in the dark. It sort of fitted in with the spirit of it all.
Nice one Harry! Great night last night. Nice to catch up with a few people I've not seen for yonks, and the film was really good! And I absolutely agree that the upstairs room of the Church was the perfect venue.
Did anyone else notice The Enigma as he melted into the night. He's not real, you know. He's a hologram who can only be generated for an hour at a time
It wouldn't be hora if he stayed for a whole event/bike ride would it?
Top night Harry. Thanks again to you and Mr Moore for making it happen.
And I really am quite envious of Craig for winning that binners artwork. I tried to convince him that it would look much better in my dining room but he was having none of it.
like a discrete fart on a crowded bus...Did anyone else notice The Enigma as he melted into the night.
And I really am quite envious of Craig for winning that binners artwork.
It did cost him £80 in raffle tickets.
I wonder if dazh got home?
Last I heard he was stuck in Rochdale after midnight 😯
Ended up getting a taxi to Littlebrough and got rescued by Mrs Daz. I decided hanging around in Rochdale wasn't a good idea when I was accosted by a pissed young lad waiting for his mates who wanted to know what sort of drugs I had taken. This isn't the first time this has happened in Rochdale, they seem peculiarly obsessed by what other people may or may not have imbibed to survive a night out.
Glad you're not dead. I was impressed that you made it out of the pub in one piece.
who wanted to know what sort of drugs I had taken
To be fair I was wondering the same thing until your mate told me about your jet lag 🙂
That was great, cheers folks!
Brilliant film, well impressed.
Great to see everyone again, do you lot never age?
Props to Matt for actually turning up on a bike.
Weirdo.
I got lost on the way back to my B&B. 😀
Wobbled my way around looking at my phone for a couple of miles. Great night out, thanks gents.
Good night and good film, even Mrs Mackem liked the film even though she doesnt like bikes. The prints are very very nice, especially the spitfire.
Just watching it again whilst peeling the spuds (not a euphemism). Is that STW and MNPR regular Mintimperial in the trail centre bit with Rob Warner?
Yep its tom...
What? Why? How?
He kept that very quiet.
I didn't spot that but I'm pretty sure that he posted on here about it some months ago.
One of the crowd funding options was a day with Rob.
I missed out on it and got the premiere at hebden. Oh n my name in the credits. Check me out I'm almost famous
I'll be honest I was expecting a average Brit film. What it was was a subtle, loveable, cheerful, endearing and well shot piece. I warmed to all and I now know where to find Geoff Apps house key. The bloody eccentric batshit crackers fella 😀
Very informative and apparently it's on Vimeo for a rewatch.
You could see the passion, the film maker captured alls passion; Islabikes founders passion for one. Ace.
Next time I'll leave the car at home so I don't have to endure a shandy again 8)
Thank you guys for organising this. Muchly enjoyed.
How would you know? You beamed up after 15 minutes!
Also, Geoff Apps knows where you keep your house keys.
Geoff came across as a complete star, especially when he appeared in his tweeds.
I had to pick up the evil ones/family after the muddyfox story and Apps in his tweeds 🙂 I thought of Grayson Perry when I saw him.
Is that STW and MNPR regular Mintimperial in the trail centre bit with Rob Warner?
Yep, tis me getting in Warner's way and riding like a donkey, and a couple of other bits. Seemed like a fun way to support the film, and was also a cracking day out. 🙂
Glad the night went well. I'd have loved to be there too but things have been a bit mental for the past month or so, and I couldn't make it (I missed the premiere too, which was part of the perk, well annoying).
I thought it was you amongst the beardy hipsters 😉
