You do realise that we are Vampires
*licks lips and offers hora my neck*
Im a sort of podgy anemic version of Blade with a catchy folk track playing instead of house/trance
You're bringin' sheksy back hora.
Not if we use recoilless weapons.
We have thermonuclear capability. 😐
And a Sonic Disruptor...
Thursday- say 6pm onwards? This allows people to dip in briefly post-work (who can only stay shortly) at here?
http://theox.co.uk/index.php/location/ (its across the road from here http://www.mosi.org.uk/ )
This allows people to [s]dip in briefly post-work (who can only stay shortly)[/s] have a pint bought by someone else then conveniently bugger off before it's their round....
I'm only saying what I've bin told. 😐
Hora - Freds got you bang to rights there. You're getting the first round!
Have we decided where we're eating? Or shall we settle it by drinking competition on the night? I've not eaten in the Ox for ages. It used to be very good indeedy!
Edit: Just checked it out and the 2 courses for a tenner menu looks like a winner
Start there and discuss/from there? I think when things get complicated/plans it gets too formal 🙂
Food is still good there - you can order from anywhere in the place as they do a bar menu as well. 40m's down the road is here: http://www.akbars.co.uk/restaurant.php?id=19
Or Cask and more etc etc etc all within spitting distance 🙂
First round? Tap water?
Does The Ox still have that funny smell about it?
There is also this place within 20metres: http://www.manchesterdirectory.co.uk/info/23817/
Harry' when was that? Everytime I've been in (recently) - all I can smell is food.
I'm going to back out of this organisation-malarky now as I can't organise anything and its worrying me that I've made quite a sensible suggestion(s) 😐
A translation for Popocatapetl:
The DZ is circa half a click from LZ (Deansgate station) for a spot of R&R 😆
(We'll stop Charlie from coming through the wire)
It has been a while, but when I was last in it had a whiff of Fred West's airing cupboard.
I guess that SOCO have finished and Kim and Aggie have been in to do their stuff. 😉
Don't worry Hora. You're returning to form. You've just totally contradicted yourself and suggested a chippy. Despite your earlier assertion, on another thread, that you can't get decent fish and chips anywhere within the M60.
The Fish Hut is a quality chippy. It doesn't open in the evening though. Cos it doesn't have too. Its stacked out at lunchtime. I know this as it contributed greatly to my expanding waistline when i worked on Deansgate. As did the White Lion next door. And the Ox, come to think of it 😳
Edit: Just remembered: The White Lion used to have a Bangers and Mash Menu, with about 30 different sausages. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Bangers and Mash! Oh.... and they used to have this above the bar

Akbars actually does a nice tarka dal 🙂
The last time I was in there, we phoned the police because there was a very twitchy looking muslim guy with a rucksack and a pint of lager and it just didn't look right.
HtS - you were there!
EDIT - and the chef had done a runner. So all in all a bit poo.
He could have been a Somalian pirate on R&R 🙄

I thought you were talking about Hora's wallet there for a moment.
Or does that have more of a fragrance of an undiscovered Egyptian tomb about it?
First round? Tap water?
He would as well, woon't he? 😐
I don't think it's illegal for Muslim looking types to drink lager, Derek. 😆

I remember, the week after 7/7. The police had shut down an area just down the road due to a "security alert" and there was that guy sweating and staring at a full pint with a 72l bergen on his back. Nobody would sit within about 20 yards of him (like that would have made a difference). Paranoid times eh?

He looked Brazilian to me.
You do know that quite a few 'Muslim types' donned rucksacks and acted 'suspiciously' in public places just for a laugh, don't you?
Might seem a bit of a sick joke considering people got killed and maimed, but it became a bit of a 'sport' round here. 😕
Considering the timing and situation I don't think you were unreasonable to phone the Police over that. Hardly paranoid.
I bet there have been countless dry runs and/or where the fella has changed his mind.
There was also the planned attack on the Trafford centre that was foiled at the 11th hour.
Shows how chilled the Manchester Police are compared to the Met. He'd have had seven rounds into his face at point blank range if he was daaaaahn saaaaaaaaaaaaahf 😉
And Fred - nobody has the faintest idea what Horas wallet smells of. At least no-one who's lived to tell
Anyway. See you on Thursday x
Lads...
We still not decided yet? 🙂
I'm safely holed up in Selfridges.
I've decided. I'm having bangers and mash in the Ox.
Selfridges indeed? You'll be appreciating the results of our last bomb then? They did us a favour 😉
Cool 6ish it is.
Lookout for a bloke with a moustache (me)

That's not actually you, is it Hora? 😯
Knowing Hora, probably - no common sense filter...
Sporting a moustache?

No thats a google image search. I've got moobs in real life.
I'm sporting a beard, but may go tache for Thursday night. Whatever happens early doors, we're still going to TDI aren't we?
We can go wherever you damn well like treacle
Woo and indeed hooo. This sounds great and is on in the music hall upstairs which is a quality venue

😀
Oh can someone take pics of this event please?
Speshly if Hora gets his wallet out. Such a rare moment has to be recorded for posterity...
we shall record it for posterity Fred. The decline from civilised dinner in the Ox, all the way to Hora strapped naked to the statue of Queen Victoria in Piccadilly Gardens, with a traffic cone lodged up his jacksie! 😀

I don't actually want to see that. 😐
Nobody wants to see that.
I do want to know that it has happened though. Reading about it in a National Newspaper will suffice.
[i]"Man's genitals savagely mangled by wild dogs following drunken prank"[/i]
That's the sort of thing I want to read about the next day.
Please make it so.
In Cord in the northern quarter. Feeling cool. 8)
You need to arrange a Bristol-Manchester exchange trip, DD. 😀
Thatchers & Bath Ales could take on extra staff in readiness.
🙁 I wanna go but I can't 🙁 *

*waits for relqative to pick up toys abnd return them to the pram
Jesus, back in our shitty hotel already. And I was just getting going. 😐

morgs, what's stopping you? Eh? Better be good!
DD that used to be my local. Well that or a vinyl-seated manc pub round the back of my old flat which I showed binners. 8)
