Manchester Big day Out (23rd March 2002) ROLL CALL

Originally posted by Kezzie Indeed, I lurve that kind of thing :) Saw Emerson at Creamfields, and as per, he played Blue Monday....Really looking forward to Monday night, not least because this flapping job is really getting on my proverbials - will be good to get away for a couple of days ;)Any nearby pubs to recommend for pre-club festivities?

Pubs aren't great round that way to be honest. Probably the most convenient is the pub right outside Farringdon station. It's about 5 mins down the road to Fabric.

Have you not got any work to be getting on with?

I've sort of done my work for the day. Got a stinking hangover still from going out last night (pub giving away free voddy - quality idea), and my last hours work going to spent doing nuffink.

Whats your excuse - taking a sicky?

Nightmare...as you say though its a day off work, can't be bad...Can't wait to Easter - it'll be my first days off since Chrimbo.

Anyway, who dares say the monarchy should be booted out when they come up with classics like this:

The Duke of Edinburgh has surprised Aborigines by asking: "Do you still throw spears at each other?"The Duke, visiting Australia with the Queen, was being introduced to Aboriginal cultural park owner William Brim when he made the trademark quip."No we don't do that any more," replied Mr Brim, 42, who later said he found the remark amusing but was surprised

I thought do you still smash plates after dinner? was his retort.

I's reading a list of his gaffes earlier and theres some classics - liek the 'this fuse looks like it was built by an Indian', but my absolute fave was this one I think:

Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they complain they are unemployed" - in the 1981 recession.

Cheers for that Seb. Guess I'll just go along with whatever my native London friends suggest once I'm there. If you see a drunken looking Geordie staggering about, don't be afraid, that'll just be me enjoying myself ;)

Oh, and Shug - nice to see someone had a worse day at work than me ;)

I'll go, if anyone's willing to spring for airfare, hotel room, room service, s, booze, and bailing me out of jail.....:D

I'd love to but I can't.......

I might pop down and see people for a swift El Pinto or 2 but I doubt whether I'll make it to Fabric with it being a school night.

hello from Chile .. I will go ::

I thought it would be a good idea to start off in Dry201 for tradtions sake (even if its a bleeding dive these days!) crawl a few bars in town then head over to Deansgate and go to the Brickhouse, which is on Whitworth Street West, opposite where the Hacienda was. Saturday night at the Brickhouse is called "Parklife" and is generally 80's and 90's indie stuff... always play NO/JD and many many more...:)And the times ive been (quite a few recently in the name of consumer testing obviously!) its been bloody brilliant. For those of you who dont know it, its a bit a dingy but a brilliant atmosphere... but great music...

What do others think? Good plan?

Liv

P.S. BTW The food counter in Dry201 is called "Dr Livvy's".... fucking coincidence or what? It's fate i tell you....*sigh* Bernard *sigh*

Originally posted by Allen Jarvis Seems word of the drink-up is getting around. Alex '66 gigs' Stash sent me a text on Friday night wondering why he hadn't been invited?! And he's not even a NOOL'er!! Think Martin Gray had mentioned it to him. . .

Tell the guy he's more than welcome Jarvo, the more the merrier!

Tragic news...

It looks like I will be missing this one. After the great night out that was Derby I really want to go, but I can't.

:( :( :(

ShugZV (who is crying into his Bovril reading this I'm sure) here is an explanation why...

I finish Uni on Friday the 22nd of March and my dad will be coming to collect me and all my stuff to take back home to sunny sheffield on Sunday the 24th. So, unless i can go out in Manc and get back here in one night its gonna be a problem...

Maybe i'll work something out... hmmmmm....

Major, that even beats my 'I've got to look after my birds' parents' dog' excuse.

Nah - it doesn't even come close Sebsy Major me ole mucker - bit of a bast eh? - as it looks like there will be quite a few of us fer this one....ach well never mind twat-face - it's Birmingham in April (I think;) )

you still suspended or sumfink?

Anyone driving up from London, or is it train all the way ? Just think of all those bootleg opportunities on the car stereo !

Training it. Only 13 notes e/w with Virgin.

Me and JG are on the 11.50 straight outta Euston.

Do you need to book in advance to get that price?

If there is any way I can get back the same night i'll be there... but that doesn't seem likely.

As yet i am unsure ofmy movements (?!) for said weekend but all things being well and providing no-one minds i may join in the shandy drinking festivities. The necessity to be back in lovely tamworthcestersire by 9.00am next morning will mean an early start sunday so if that's of any use to you Major i could offer you a lift?

Yeah, booked that ticket already from virgintrains.co.uk - some sort of Apex deal.

Followed your lead - booked on the 11.50 from Euston to Manchester. Heading back 13.29 the next day.
