MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Pooks coming to Manchester next Thursday and staying for a few beers. Anyone up for a beer then?
Venue/meet? No idea, what about one of the Chop Houses or similar place that sells decent range of ales (and is a bit bigger) but close enough to the two main train stations.
is this an open invitation?
Yes but of course. I'm not niche in anyway.
is your mate coming ...single fit one not Binners 😉
might be up for that. will keep an eye on this thread. Food first / as well?
could be tempted if this is a post-work drinkies sesh 🙂
bar's like odd bar and trof in the northern quarter are between the two stations.
nbt, you should know I can't organise a piss up let alone a complex operation that involves food ontop!
That'd be the best idea so people can have one, disapear or stay etc. Problem with Odd- its small and their beers etc arent great (in terms of ale selection).post-work drinkies sesh
What about the place round the corner from there (onto the cobbles- turn right and its now double-fronted/extended into the next shopfront) Across the road from a skaters shop.
Sams Chop House. Wonderful little pub with some good ales.

If it had to be the Northern Quarter plus you can see/keep an eye on any bikes outside.
True about Sams, I like that place 🙂
**** it, Loweys right.

It is. They also offer food at your table in the bar area.
allo. I'm supposedly coming over for a chat about a job. Not sure of time or anything yet but I will keep you posted.
count me in, I like a good excuse to drink some ales!
a village called Manchester, where's that?
We could do a wee-pub crawl. There are few within 500m's of Sam's that are good/ale's including one that serves Deuchars ontap 😀
Being single and all now means I can do spontaneous things like going for drinks with strangers! ha
Deuchars tastes like cat wee though.
Deuchars IPA isn't a bad drop. there are better but good bitter vendors are hard to come by these days in cities!
Ok, but if you call (Deuchars) Caledonian80 cat wee we have a problem. A Fatwah will be passed.
80 shilling and bellhaven are brewed in the urinal aren't they?
A Fat what?
Are you gonna 'wah' at me?

Common?
Thats the one. Sam's is the best though.
Can't do a school night but we should arrange a sausage and beer frenzy for a Saturday afternoon when the Christmas markets are on.
what kind of time.........might fancy this.
train from leeds to mancs is quick.
Dunno yet ton - I'm guessing post work time for most people. I've just been told 'PM' for my thing.
Be warned that Hora is trying to get as many people along as possible, so that when he does his 'oh I've accidentally left my wallet at home' trick, some poor mug will fell sorry for him and buy him a pint. Binners told me this.Apparently he does it all the time.
Hora; £60 or your TAG watch. By tomorrow. Or you're in trouble...
Damn it, I was going to try that one!
Do they serve elaborate cocktails in Sams chophouse. I'm not going unless I can drink expresso Martini's. Paid for by Hora as I intend to forget my wallet for a change
If Hora forgets his wallet, as usual, I say we tie him to the town hall fountain, naked, then whip him with bike chains
Actually.... He'll probably love that.
I'll bring my wallet. But as I have no money it's useless.
I'd actually pay to enjoy that (if I had money in my wallet!).
Start straight after work I reckon, so it allows people to come for a quickie and go or stay abit longer 🙂
So 5.30 onwards. I'll post a number up on here on the day so anyone who is coming later can check where everyone currently is bar-wise.
So, I'm meeting this guy at 3pm. Should be about an hour then I'm around 'til the last train at 10.30pm.
Where are you meeting the chap? I finish work at 4 so if I can blag a lift to the station I should be in Picadilly around 4.45, in the pub by 5 and leathered by 6
just round the corner from the station
Winner. mail me your mobile number with that story you promised 😉
I've got time to do it now!
new email by the way jules. in profile.
Is this still going ahead? We should definitely have a toast to commiserate the untimely passing of Mr Jahwomble.
yes and yes we should. He always seemed a lovely bloke.
So Sams' Chop house. Everyone ok with finding it? Pook would you like me to come and find you 🙂
http://samsmanchester.thevictorianchophousecompany.com/
From circa 6pm.
Should be ok as I'm meeting Jules.
Kool

Definitely agree. All raise glasses as one.
'Will Hora be bringing his wallet', I think is the question on everyone's lips...
If someone (Binners?) could give Hora a good kicking for me, and retrieve my £60 or goods to the value from him, I'd be very grateful, and it will be noted that you've done me a favour.
Hora; it's gone up to £80 actually. £20 a week extra until it's paid.
What are you banging on about Fred?
Hes still a bit miffed that he didn't enjoy the Tour De Force that is SuperBad 😆
awesomeness made all the more awesome as I am not at work on friday! woop
The session doesnt leave promptly, no need to bring spare innertubes, nor fill your camelbak and no one will be left behind..
It's a Pootle drinking session.

80 shilling and bellhaven are brewed in the urinal aren't they?
Only the barrels marked "Only for consumption south of Berwick"
Go on then, why does Hora owe the Elf £80.00?
And anyway, if we're going to tax Hora every time he posts something stupid, the lad's family will starve.
Pook, you coming to the station to meet me? We may call in @ the City Arms on kennedy street en route 🙂

Ah, cheers for the clarification Hora 😀
He can jog on for money. I offered to fill his every hole with my manjuice 8)
Right. Have a good time tonight youse lot. And please; feel free to give Hora a good kicking, I know Binners will be well up for that.
Actually, if someone could get some pics of Binners giving Hora a Chinese Burn, and getting him in a headlock then rubbing his knuckles hard on the top of Hora's bonce, I'd be very grateful.
Basically, enjoy yourselves, and if that means torturing Hora, then all the better really. It'd be rude not to in fact.
(Looks forward to seeing pics of Hora being abused)
Well? Any images of shocking abuse yet?
(Wets self in excited anticipation)
Fred. I've left them to it as its deadline day tomorrow and i have to behave myself to a certain degree
However, I have good, ne... possibly miraculous news to report:
I GOT A PINT OUT OF HORA!!!
The routine is as follows:
1) turn up later than he does (not difficult, he's one of life's bed-wetters)
2) Note his bike locked up outside the pub
3) Pull out huge D lock and lock his bike to an immovable object
4) Walk into pub and ask him politely to get you a pint to compensate for the 487 he presently owes me
5) Listen to usual feeble, half-baked, bleating excuses
6) Draw attention to point 3
7) Drink an incredibly satisfying pint, paid for by the enigma himself. No chinese burns necessary
🙂
I GOT A PINT OUT OF HORA!!!
(Faints in shock)
No chinese burns necessary
But they're always necessary. It's [i]Hora[/i]! 🙁
(Is disappointed at lack of evidence of shocking abuse of Hora)
I would've bitch-slapped him and took his bike off him. You're getting soft in your old age, Binners.
Good tactic though. Take note, any potential future drinking buddies of Hora's...
LOL @ binners! 🙂
Did you unlock his bike afterwards or did you just tell him that you'd unlock it on your way out then 'accidently forgot'?
Unfortunately Binners left us to our own, we went to a restaurant by the name of Macdonalds, Hora made his excuses to leave ( apparently having a child is a good excuse these days), pook attempted to change his mind by stealing his single speed road thingy (this failed miserably). This left me, pook and nbt. We went back to the city inn for a very nice pint of Wainwright and a game of round the clock on the dartboard.
nice to meet you guys and hopefully I will have my bike fixed for next weds' pootle dans la peak.
I'll be out for longer sooner. Drinking the day after a stressful housemove was an achievement in itself.
Good to meet you guys and to experience Pook's steely-charm at moving a bunch of city-types away from a table then taking a chair off them 😆
we went to a restaurant by the name of Macdonalds
...and who said Northerners can't be fancy bastards. 8)
almost 4quid for a standard meal.......when did the prices go up!
I had an *oh shit* moment on the train home as I realised I hadn't got my keys.
they were sitting on my desk when I got to work this morning
Cheers chaps, a most enjoyable soiree.
i fell asleep on the train. Then was a bit ill at home.
Cracking night though chaps!
Ant, my mail is in my profile for wednesdays ride
So you either went home early or were poorly-sick?
Meh.
