29-09-2005, 21:33
of course :D
can't do the 15th tho.
hope your "settling in" nicely :p
can't do october I'm afraid :o

30-09-2005, 13:29
would v. much hope to, musical commitment/cash depending
would like it to be before Nov but can i book u on the 12th as well aqua :p
right so its the first of oct today
weekend suit people better?
how about the saturday after next, 16th?
Balders can u manage that?
i can easily get to rusholme, but just as easy get to city centre as well (if thats easier for people not living in manc)
the 16th is a Sunday (and there's an Indymedia thingamy that night)
A Saturday evening is fine for me, but I have to bugger off at last-train time since I work Sundays.
:)
the 16th is a Sunday (and there's an Indymedia thingamy that night)

Any one in town tonight??
If so I will be in the paramount for about 8ish onwards.
Call in and i may spring for a coke for ya.
:)
I'm going to be dead selfish and suggest Thursday 20th 'cos I don't have any lectures on Fridays. :D
anyday between wed night- sunday afternoon are good for me.
*bathes in the world of scummy student free time*
:)
I work so Fridays are better for me- how about the 14th or 21st?
I work as well - Friday nights
Can I bring me dog? :rolleyes:
I'm up for it - but a friday/saturday evening/night please :)

Agreed, the week is taken up by shopping, working, sleeping and eating.
For us non-workshy fops, the w/e's or fri nights are the only days we can make it!

04-10-2005, 14:43
I'm up for it - weekend is best for me and not this weekend as completely brassick and surrounded by boxes.
whens the 21st?

What about either Saturday 22nd October or Saturday 12th November? The weekend of Oct 29th is no good for me cos I think that's when the Mondays are on and the following weekend is bonfire night (unless we want a bonny night meet up - let the fireworks commence!).
*puts in a request for Nov 5th or 19th*
we (kidda and me) are busy on the 12th :)
Can't say I'm bothered about missing Congleton Park bonfire, so the 5th looks good to me.
"We just need to get clearance from Manchester Airport, then we can start the display ..."
:D
you lot are worse than the brumites :p
5th Nov then?
:p
THREAD:

YES :D

5th Nov then?

I'll check with 'im indoors tonight :)
although I have no idea how we're going to get there yet :D can we see fireworks please?
can we see fireworks please?
We should do it proper northern stylee - by getting a load and throwing them into shops/cars/telephone boxes. :eek:
(I've been in Preston too long)
right well the date is free atm though we do have to be in brum lunchtime on the sunday (previous commitments see)
so 5th from here :)
Is the 5th a Saturday?
I'd look at the calendar, but the computer's telling me I "do not have the proper privilege level to change the System Time". :rolleyes:

right, date in diary :cool:
net access is sporadic atm (too tight to pay for internet cafes :D ) or i'd have said so earlier.
ok then 5th nov it is?
balders, aqua and 'im in doors' confirmed for crash space? (txt me)
you might need to bring a sleeping bag.
and a burglar deterent
(only joking on the second one)
(weve got that sorted now *fires gun and blows smoke off the barrel*)
anyone else need somewhere to dribble/pass out/sleep?
Fledgling
14-10-2005, 20:53
can i come along?
I'm up for this till late-evening :)
come again?
where? (sorry, just been practicing my spanish :o )
anyone else need somewhere to dribble/pass out/sleep?
If there's enough room I'd appreciate somewhere to sit/lye and dribble.
If not its ok - but I just don't like negociating trains and buses at night when drunk.
we won't need crash space, as need to be back in brum sun am anyway so going to head back
can;t wait to meet up again though :D

16-10-2005, 16:55
where? (sorry, just been practicing my spanish :o )Y'see if you'd only said ¿Donde? it would all have been perfectly clear! :p :D
This could probably turn into a all head back to mine if it becomes to dribbly if you want.
epico, of course always space for an ole mate :)
wheres the venue then kids? :)
I thought those resourceful, commited and organised denziens or citizens of the Mancuinia heights would have organised an actual date for this meet up! Yer as bade as the bloomin' Brummagems! ;) :D
Anyway - i'm not to sure if i'll be coming to Mancland, i'd like to come up there and see what's the fuss is about this city. I'm only saying that because i haven't been there :o
Ouer Ms Kidda - If i do come to this meet up, i'm a bit concerned about where i'll be staying, with reference to any space at your humble abode.

Well if it's deffo going to be the 5th I may not be able to play out on this night as it looks as though we may have some other shennanigans going on. But if you can thrash out a venue I'll do my best to stagger on and find you all.
wheres the venue then kids? :)
Somewhere central - Not the Bulls Head :D - I'd say we could meet in the Yates in Piccadilly (I know, I know- Its crap but at least they'll let us in and serve us what we want - then we can move on)
Is that the same as the Yates on Portland Street? Or is there another one?
Y'see if you'd only said ¿Donde? it would all have been perfectly clear! :p :D
I was missing an accent and all ¿dónde?
Professor Pedro would kill me :(

see, kidda is a brummie, and we (the brummies) always meet in a wetherspoons
the time I've been to manc we met in that pub opposite the train station and I was greeted by bees and a bag of crushed pills :D
I knew we were going to get on :D
needless to say I have no recollection of much of that meet :o
and the bits I do remember I wish I didn't :eek: *looks in wookeys direction*

not having read half the friggin' thread, what's the plan?
I'm up for meeting up 5th nov in the moon, should be a gas
isnt there a weatherspoons in piccadilly? on the same side as Somerfield and the pound shop from hell.
havent had a drink in there so i dont know what its like (arent they all the same though) but the toilets arent too bad :D
wheres this one in deansgate (where is deansgate)
what time are people aiming at starting this?
Fledgling
23-10-2005, 01:09
I am up for this and will come along. Can the person who started this thread put a time, date and place etc for us.
Oh arse, shouldn't try to post when partially pissed. ARRRRR (pirates)
right I propose (although feel free to ignore me) that now we don't have to rush back to brum and therefore are free to get utterly spannered that we meet say around 4pm in the Moon pub
we could meet earlier, but I thought I'd get the ball rolling :)
baldrick
24-10-2005, 12:54
ok, i'm coming by bus 'cos it's a tenner cheaper than the train and not much slower, but i have no idea how to get to the pub from there. is it easy?
:confused:
right, bees, me and baldrick will be descending on manc together
this is gonna be messy innit :o
ok 4pm sounds good.
can anyone who needs crash space at mine let me know soonish as space will run out.
confirmed
wreck head balders
aqua n tonic
sir bees
(anyone who does want to kip will need to bring a sleeping bag as ive left mine in brum and the house gets a bit chilly in the morning)
:)
4pm sounds good to me. Looking forward to this :)
Kidda - leave space open for me matey :)
we have sleeping bags and will drop them at yours or something
I also don't have a lot of money so can the focus please be on not spending hideous amounts? :D
and does anyone have farmerbarleymows phone number?

Thing is - I didn't have my phone with me last time out.

:( Dont' remind me, I just stopped seeing after a while, did I walk along the road or did you support me on either side? I'd had nothing all day and didn't sleep much the night before. Felt terrible.
You needed a bit of supporting to the taxi mate :D we had to stop every so often so you could run out and stand in that "blurgh, I'm about to retch" stance, then we'd carry on another few hundred miles and you'd do the same - in the end, the taxi driver refused to take us any further and we had to walk from about the uni!!!!!!! :D :D

Me and Mr S are going to come and meet you for a couple before going to a bonfire night do - how long d'you reckon you'll be in the Moon for?
not sure tbh, depends on how much we want to do though for a couple of hours I should have thought (mainly cos money is really tight)

*gets all excited that farmers going to be there*
I wouldn't get your hopes up - or you'll be disappointed, mark my words! :D
There is a bonfire, funfair and fireworks (ooh....ahhh) at Heaton Park that evening - free entry. The fireworks start at 7.30pm, and the bonfire at 8pm. The park is a bit of a trek - a tram ride away - a tram from Piccadilly Gardens at 18.52 would get to Heaton Park at 19.07, in time for fireworks! But I guess it depends on how drunk people are by then :) and the park will no doubt be absolutely packed...
So 4pm in Moon Under Water then? Probably best to hang around in the ground floor bit near the main bar, rather than go upstairs into the back bit, as the pub is a bit too big to find people easily in.

can we have a roll-call of peeps attending sat? ... does it look like there will be 2 contingents, 1 to tangled and 1 to mr. scruff?

who can say? it's scruff or the train home for me, either way. unless the drugs are really fucking good...
why do we have to decide here and now anyway? :confused:
lets see how the mood takes us on saturday :)
*nods in agreement with aqua and killer b*
unless the drugs are really fucking good...
*nods in full agreement* :D
I must admit, I would slightly prefer scruff - but I can see tangled being quite amusing (to say the least). And it would to cool to see killa b murder babies, the useless dribbling wee bastards.
And if the drugs are 'really fucking good' then I can see myself wanting to do everything yet ending up doing absolutely nothing. :D
Who is going? How many? How will we know eachother?

Add me to the roll call, I think.
Am I allowed to come if I'm not doing drugs? Seems almost obligatory? :confused:
I'm quite capable of dancing on tables, generally acting stupid and embarrassing myself with just the aid of copious amounts of alcohol ta v. much! :D
BTW, is everyone sorted for somewhere to stay? I've a couple of spare rooms at my place.

hope you all got on and had lots of fun

Well, more than one of us is covered in bruises, so it was definitely a good do. :D

that was ace... apologies for disapearing so early, mrs b wasn't feeling too well, and the trance would've been too much for her.
how was tangled?
I have some questions:
1) why did anyone allow me to drink so much and NOT eat my tea last night? :rolleyes:
2) how the hell did the cheese survive in one piece? (although I've eaten it all now - oops)
3) Why did I think it was such a good idea to dance quite *so much*
4) How and why do I seem to like trance?
5) How long have I had a muscle there *points* its fucking hurting (as is the rest of me)
6) How did Kidda projectile vomit so much purple sick managing to cover nearly all her bedroom
7) CAn someone tell me if I pissed anyone off :o
8) ouch
9) yes I know 8 wasnt a question as such but it had to be said
10) How did moose and mr moose escape out the back this morning :D
I have to say, that was fucking superb :D music just what I needed (I think I danced all night), drink in plentiful supply, sillyness in just the rright amount, lots of hugs, new people to meet, old people to meet too *waves to sorearm, killer b, anmarie, ann and anyone else I met that I've forgotten*
When can we do it all again? I've forgotten how much I adore a good night out :D
*reminds people of Drop Beats Not Bombs (http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=3773783) *

that may actually account for rather a lot :o
... however, this was just as I was wondering what gin and red bull would taste like :eek:
I know the answer to that and I'd advise you don't try it *feels sick at the memory*
CAn I please ask who the fuck invented mornings? I think I'm going to have a rough day :D
Ahhh! So this is why I get a text from Aqua asking where I am. And where was I? Plainly and blissfully unaware of this meet!
*Hangs head in shame*
It was my 12th anniversary though yesterday, so there would have been grand trouble if I'd done that with an Urban hangover (the worst kind there is)...

*thumbs up to sorearm, anmarie, killer b, mrs b and ann o'neemus*
and congratulations to Mr Moose, who out-danced everybody there :D
as bees said yesterday afternoon "i feel like i've had a good night". well i STILL feel like i've had a good night, was nearly sick on the bus this morning :eek: :mad:

07-11-2005, 09:52
Oh dear - how trashed was I? :D
I don't remember a great deal of the evening - well, up to Pevril I think, then it gets verrry sketchy :)
Now have another wound to add to my recent collection - a nice cut on my jaw - presume I must have fell down in the club somewhere :confused:
A good night was had - thanks for everyone turning up, and sorry if I made absolutely no sense at all :)
was nearly sick on the bus this morning
you me both love :o
farmer, you fell over in the club just before we left - we laughed - sorry :o
I think I'm really not very well :o everything hurts, my head, my muscles, every bone in my body and I really feel bad
what a great night :D who's for a bacon butty?
farmerbarleymow
07-11-2005, 11:06
farmer, you fell over in the club just before we left - we laughed - sorry :o
Ah! That would explain my cut jaw :D
It looks pretty nasty, so I'll ask the nurse today if it needs stitching (going for a flu jab).
My jaw hurts quite a lot - I think it must have taken the brunt of the impact. And a strange sore bit on the side of my neck :confused:
It was OK for you all to laugh - I would have done the same :D
I'm so glad to be at work today :(
you also had a cut on the side of your head, the more I think about it that wasn't your jaw so maybe you did that later? :confused:
I feel like shit, though distinctly better than I did an hour ago :o
Fbm - just because menthol fags are the same colour at both ends, doesn't mean you can light either end :D
Hope you feel better - next time we'll wrap you in some kind of protective clothing :D
So: injury roll call:
moose - poked in eye which now won't open
Fbm - facial damage, memory loss
Mr moose - needs new legs, apparently
Kidda - nausea
And this is supposed to be fun! ;)

its been a long time since ive drunk myself to black out stage
theres bits of the night i cant remember but to be honest looking at the state of the urbanites that were on my living room floor the next day i think im better off not knowing.
i was alright untill i dropped that cheeky one in the peveril (was that what it was called?) i dont think i was asleep i just had to close my eyes for a bit to stop them taking off aswell.
i wasnt expecting the scene from the exorcist to re-occur in my bedroom once id got home. bonus points to the urbanites who helped clean it up as i was trying to figure out my name. Bright purpley red vomitus though, was quite pretty in a sick n twisted kind of way.
*big hugs to you all*
respect to sorearm for the biggest grin ive seen for a while, in tangled. Sign of a very good night.
and big up moose for being lovely and mr moose for dancing with me when everyone had sat down.
for everyone else who im too mangled to mention at the moment cheers.
bring on the next one.
a big yay is needed for epico - I consider it the line of duty for good mates to clear up after them, but he volunteered to help :D
an absolute star :)
and he looked so sweet all sleepy on sunday morning :D
says you :p
all cute and vomit covered :p
Well i certainly enjoyed my first-ever visit to the Mancunia republic. I'll do a detailed post later on asap. Tangled was bloomin ace and i was dancing like no one else's buisness for about 2 hrs (or was it more than that?) !! :o :D
but it was purple vomit
:cool:
respect to sorearm for the biggest grin ive seen for a while, in tangled. Sign of a very good night.
abso-bloody-lutely!
I was just taking in all the madness, it was like being at the centre of a hurricane ... and then you get those obsessive thoughts going through you're head, I was convinced that if I stared at that glitter ball in the ceiling long enough, it would turn on of its own accord!
*goes back to watching people waving glow sticks*
:eek: :D
I agree, you had a HUGE smile for all the time in tangled :D
did anmarie enjoy it? I lost you quite early on (I think I actually lost myself, which would explain a lot :o)
I knw you'd gone when we left :cool:
*grins like a maniac*
yup, happy hugs all around ;) :D
Yeah, anmarie had a wicked time too, but got a bit hectic and tiring towards 2am ... don't think anmarie's heels helped either! :(

How long has today been?! the first hour at work felt like I had been sitting there for two years.
Anyway - it was really cool to see everyone, even if I do have half the brain capacity I had on whatever day it was before the day before yesterday. :confused:
Soararm, AnMarie & Ann O'Neemus - very nice too meet you, even if my memory is hazy. I do apologize, I'm not always like that :D
Award of the century has to go to Moose & Mr Moose and their 'we're only staying out for a bit' ending up in them staying out all night and being generally fantastic.
I'm sure there was something else I was going to write... :o
:D :) @at the whole day
Hey had a great time folks!
Soz if I was a lil quiet- am pretty shy, so am always bit nervous when I first meet peeps :o
Was great to meet yall- roll on the next meet! :D
When i first seen and read this thread i thought to myself "You've got to go to this meet up, just to make it up to the Brummidge Urbanites etc (since i'm from the Black Country etc)." With reference to having a tough year personally in my life. Right then here's my thoughts and recollections on my first (dare i say virginal) visit to La Republica de Mancunia.
Before i headed off to the North West to join in on the fun and festivities of the meet up, i had a quick natter with my dad. He was getting a bit worried about me going up there, whilst i was worried about whether the coach will get there on time etc.
The coach journey to Brummidge land (Digbeth coach station) to Chorlton Street, Manchester was a pleasent trip, whilst i was reading Fight Club by Chuck Palaniuk on the journey. Suddenly at around 4.05 i realised that i was in Manc land and i saw the beautiful Wythenshawe Park, then the Princess Road and a quick glance of the outskirts Hulme and Moss Side.
Finally at around 4.20pm i've finally made it to the city centre, phoned at my dad's house. Just to let them know that i was fine and that i was coming back to the Badlands tommorow i.e early evening. So i had to phone ouer Kidda that i've arrived at the coach station, just before that i recieved a voicemail message (apologies for switching my phone off :o )
After that my first thought was to try and remember directions on where were the other urbanites who were at the pub in Deansgate. As i walked on Chorlton Street and looked at the layout of the city centre, my first thought was kinell it's bloomin and soddin bigger than Brum, you could so easily get lost in this place - Let's just say that i did a wander around the city. :o
Until i phoned again at around 5 'o clock and then a couple of minutes later whilst waiting outside House of Fraser, Farmerbarleymow recognised me and said hello - fair play to you fella. Thus i joined in the rest of the urbanites and meeting a some new ones as well. As far as i can remember we headed off to another pub which was a good old fashioned pub (what was the name of it?), albiet a bit small and cramped, it reminded me of some the pubs that i used to go to im my area.
Then finally to complete the night, a visit to the night called Tangled, may i say what an thoroughly bostin night that was! I really enjoyed the music that was played mostly on the downstairs floor, although the music (who says that dance music is dead) on the upper floor wasn't bad. For some strange reason i got completely carried away on the dance floor doing my ting for 2 hours or more - another apology for that.
Then after staying for the rest of the night at Casa Kidda, even though my calves were starting to hurt after all that dancing. It was time to have shower, wait for the bus back into the city (£1.50 you're havin a laugh!). Then a pub meal and bode my farewells to the others and get the coach back to Brum, then a bus back to the Black Country. Whist travelling out of the city, i'll treasure the momemts that will live with me for a long time.
Here's my big'ups, shout-outs (whichever word you want to call it) to these urbanites and some non-u75'ers as well:
Kidda - As ever ouer maetre i was pleased to you. Plus i'm glad that you're settling in very nicely to student life at Manc. The comforting and inspiring words that you mentioned to me, i'll always try my damndest to remember it. Yow weren't talking bull matere btw.Plus i'll try to be more positive about my life and how it will pan out etc. You frightened me a little bit about the purple puke on the wall and everywhere. I hope that yow arlight. You're a more than decent baggies supporter - yowe's a good un ;)
Baldrick - Good to see you as well, you're quite a mover on the dance floor and you cheered me up as well, you were pleased to see me come to the soiree. I'm sure that you enjoyed my dancing, it must have been the cider that made me dance for ages!
Bees and Aqua - I've had my reservations about coming to this meet up and about going to Tangled, i really enjoyed it. Aqua i'll let you get away with that comment about my home town! Apologies for being a bit incoherent (at times) with my speech. Bees you were quite right about the vibe in Tangled most of the punters were up for it, loved the glowsticks that a couple of the revellers had whilst dancing.
Northern Urbanites, starting with Mr and Mrs Moose, what a couple of nicest ex-pat Mancunians that i've met. Both of you were managed to have a bit of boogie and then some. I did remember that you were planning to go somewhere else. But you stayed - Good one yer! :D
Killer-b and girlfriend - Pleasure to meet you and you're not a bad pool player btw. Better than me in fact! Enjoyed our natter about Preston etc.
Epico - I was getting a bit worried about you bud, but i'm glad that you were more perky on sunday morning. It was good to meet you again, i couldn't string up a suitable conversation when iwas talking to you. But not to worry on that
Sorearm - Nice to meet you fella, enjoyed our little chat and you seemed to enjoy yourself on the dancefloor. A bit like myself! I hope that you're heading down to Brummieland in a few weeks time.
AnMarie - Although i didn't get to talk to you or see you (albiet briefly) it was good to meet you and hopefully i can visit your city in the future.
Ann O'Neemus - Likewise i didn't get to have a nice little natter with you, although your redshoes were nice. It was very nice to meet you at this meet up.
Last and by no means least mister Farmerbarleymow (fbm) - A top fella, what a star as they say. Once again thanks for welcome fella, i'm sure that you'll doiong some creative smutty threads on these boards. Likewise i'll remember some of the words that you said about keepin' yourself going and living life to the full. I hope the cuts/bruises gets better.
And now the marks out of 10 for the night - i'll give a 9.5/10 - An absoultely bloomin bostinigly good night. We'll have to do this again at somepoint next year! :D
EJ twas good to see you :) esp dancing
although I am aware I didn't say very much :o
I'm afriad that may apply to most people there unless they have learnt the munted aqua language I end up speaking :o
alarmingly sorearm could :D which is impressive for a newbie (or a sign of a mispent youth)
I still feel like shit :(
Good to meet you EJ matey, really nice to boogey on down too with you!
*did anyone ELSE see the goddam glitter ball btw????? mmmm????*
Aqua, I've had a VERY mispent youth! :eek: ;)
I did remember that you were planning to go somewhere else. But you stayed - Good one yer! :D
Yes - home, with our pipes and slippers! Fortunately, we're not yet at the Age Where You Should Know Better. ;)
yes you are
you know you should know better, you're just not at the age to listen yet :D
sorearm, if the glitter ball meant looking up then no I won't have seen it, I couldnt really see :o
farmerbarleymow
08-11-2005, 14:58
I feel better today thankfully - recovered more or less, but some great bruises are coming out! The nurse told me yesterday that my cut chin is too late to be stitched - it would have needed a few stitches but apparently these have to be done more or less straight away - no way could I have faced casualty at whatever time we left the club on Sunday morning (although it is very close by). So a nice inch-long scar awaits on me chin - another one to add to my growing collection....
....I think I'll not go out for a bit, to save my skin - literally :D
Glad everyone made it home eventually in, more or less, one piece :)
When's the next one then?
theres a meet in brum on the 3rd dec
then I'm sure we'll be back in manc soon :D it was too much fun not to repeat :D

thats a shame but I know what you mean
my enthusiasm for the 3rd dec has waned in the same amount of pain gained from last weekend :D

That was a wicked weekend :)
Although having an 21 hour working day in London yesterday nearly bloody killed me - As I was de-rigging a show around midnight (after a 5:30am start) I had to stop 3 times to go vomit :o :rolleyes: :D
Nie to meet everyone I did, see you all in Brum for DBNB soon....
Good to meet you EJ matey, really nice to boogey on down too with you!
*did anyone ELSE see the goddam glitter ball btw????? mmmm????*
Aqua, I've had a VERY mispent youth! :eek: ;)
Thanks sorearm - i'm sure that you'll be ready for the meet up in Brummie land in December. Personally i'm not sure if i'm ready to do a 12 hour or half a day session of music and dancing (i'm in my ealy 30's btw). I just have a feeling that the one in B'ham s going to be even more messy than Manchester. Bring it on is all i can say! :D
oi slackers 12 hour benders used to be a warm up for us lot
:mad:
get polishing your shoes for drop beats :D
as for the next manc ting well im there all the time (well not at the moment cos im in brum) and im happy to sort crash space for people
so whenever you guys want one im up for it :)
wicked, I'll speak to bees and baldrick and see when we're all free (and have livers prepared)
I'm looking forward to DBNB's :) I'm even going to buy a new outfit for it ;) :D how good is that :D
