[#2108708]

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.

nbt, you should know I can't organise a piss up let alone a complex operation that involves food ontop!

post-work drinkies sesh
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).

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.

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 🙂

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 😀

Deuchars IPA isn't a bad drop. there are better but good bitter vendors are hard to come by these days in cities!

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...

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.

Is this still going ahead? We should definitely have a toast to commiserate the untimely passing of Mr Jahwomble.

'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.
