ATTENTION ALL NORVERN MONKEES:

Anybody up for a Christmas meet up in Manchester between Christmas and New Year?

Names on list so far.

1. Me
2. Burt Reynolds.

Er, that's it.

Please add your names below.

(Norvern Order reserve the right to refuse admission to any non-norvern types - er, except Burt obviously.)

Are we allowed to get drunk, or is that not a middle-aged thing to do?

No, drinking is not permitted. I thought we'd take in a gallery then go and have a lovely cup of tea and a mince pie.

alas I won't be there.

Bloody part-timer

What happens to the Midlands Order (ie - me, Paul Trowell and DigiMike)?????

You are most welcome. Although I would have thought you'd be shopping for strappy sandals in tesco if Mike arranges it.

Burt Reynolds wrote: Are we allowed to get drunk, or is that not a middle-aged thing to do?

So Comrade was right! You are a drunk

Bit concerned if any southerners are let near the monkeys, spent this afternoon listening to West Ham fans claiming they're forever blowing baboons.

I'd be up for that

NOOLigan wrote: alas I won't be there.

Oh what a fucking surprise.

I wont be there either, as i'm doing the only sensible thing at christmas and leaving the country.

One way ticket????

ha ha

thanks Je. I just spilled my coffee.

I'll show up if people really want me there.

Yeah.. why not..

if you feel comfortable amongst us middle aged drunkards.

Only as long as none of you try to touch me inappropriately. I AM rather young, after all....

Well I doubt that very much... Rocket Mick might make the occasional lunge, but we will try and keep him in check...

I may actually be tempted to head north for this one, I'll be familied out and in need of alternative company by then!

I'm in!

I might fly home for that. I could meet you in the Greenwood, walk down to Parkway in Sub zero temperatures, ait for a train that's an hour late, get off at Oxford Rd, get mugged when we take a wrong turn and end up in Hulme then thumb a lift back to Horwich with no cash..Sounds great.

Count me in.

Cheers

You're not invited

Me, duck?

No you're alright, it's SiLeak that isn't welcome.

i am only a possible.going to morocco for new year so it would depend on the date.

I'm not.

I'm going to Ireland then onto Scotland for the Pet Shop Boys...

Good.

Why not make it a flat cap and pidgeon night? Make sure the venue sells good gravy an all..Non of that Aldi shite.

Us Norverners lurve our gravy

Wednesday 27th Dec???

I shall be in attendance! Via videoconferencing. Assume you will be supplying the booze- after London Orders hospitality through the year?

And before you say i'm not invited, moo cow, take a long hard think about what it would feel like to never sleep with Bob the Builder again!

You know you're welcome baby! I will set you a camp bed up in my shed.

I'm in Dublin that day. :vomit:

Still, sacrifices must be made.

Missy Jem wrote: Good.

Might b good for you lot

but he's coming over to Ireland FFS :D

Hey we deserve a day off, it's Christmas FFS

Missy Jem wrote:

Seeing as you put it like that! I'll give you a discount for my appearance- 20k for the night. Usually i charge 20k and 10 pence. I'll even make my bed when i leave.

My only request is unlimited Don Perrion. You're all loaded up there anyways!

For that price I'll be wanting extras.

Missy Jem wrote: For that price I'll be wanting extras.

Not a problem. I have a range of Arsenal songs that you can select from.

I'll go :)

...if there's a chance to pull i mean ;)

No problem. Do you like middle aged men?

Missy Jem wrote: Wednesday 27th Dec???

Depends what bar. if its a shit one, then i wont be. But i'll be in temple from about... Noon? Its Kloot the night before (i think) which means i'll end up plastered the night before. So i might just not stop.

BALLS

I might be tempted out on the 28th where are we meeting?

Not sure yet, but if anybody has any suggestions then go ahead...

Gulliver Sukumvit Soi 5 alright, not too sleazy for the women but you can nip round the corner for a bit of degradation if the mood takes you.

So come on then,where do you want to meet up?

MONTY The Merciless wrote: So come on then,where do you want to meet up?

Needs to be Manc for me... I need to hit Manc...

So long as you don't hit A Manc! A Manc is for life,not just for Xmas.

My suggestions:-

Fringe Bar (Swan Street), good beer and jukebox. Dry, for obvious reasons. Corbierres.

I'll raise your Juke box....

Retro Bar(Sackville street) Juke box, AND pool table AND cheap drinks

Sounds good. Are people still up for this??

OH AYE! I'm quite excited actually it will get me away from family stuff or local drinks!

Bring it on!

I'm out.

I was supposed to go to Engerland on Boxing day and now I'm not (afaik) :(

I wanted to get Monty under the mistletoe !!!!!

Awww Boaty I wish you had come out! Been advertised for ages. Not our fault if you're not observant. Funnily enough I had a dream about you and Mrs Boaty last night (not dirty) I'll mail you privately, you'll piss yourself.

While you lot were swanning about Manchester with minor celebrities I was getting my passport nicked by "lady bad heart" in Bangkok.

Cheers

Urry up then! While it's still fresh in yer ed missy..

And happy new year! :\party:

Edit: Funnily enough,(but not funny) I had a dream last night that me and Mrs Boaty were walking in the woods near our house and we were mugged by 5 tooled-up smack-heads! To my shame, I give them £130 to avoid a stabbin... But then 3 of them ran off with the cash,and I battered the remaining 2 with some fiesty help from Mrs Boaty,which made me very proud of her..We lost our cash,and 2 of Mrs B's rings though. Weird eh? Good job it was just a dream..

BLOC Party singer lookalike .....and the guy out of EMBRACE!!! It was a top night.No Daleks were harmed in the making of this night,and here's the proof..
