Great to finally put faces to names, and I can say in all honesty everyone was feckin sound (even me ole nemesis Marty ) Good to meet Alex the Red as well! Hopefully everyone else had a great time - looking forward to the next one already

Sounds like you all had a great weekend by the looks of it.....Sorry I couldn't make it - I work Saturdays too at our place at the bank, so it was difficult to fit anything in anyway....
Got any photos of you lot gettin up to mischief you could post on here??
Indeed it was tremendous, hello to all you lovely people that attended. Thankfully as far as I can recall there are no piccies - the monkey of the cheeky kind would have to change her name to Bambi Legs or Cow Eyed! :o
PS Avery big thankyou to everyone who hauled the great lumox that i am off the floor when the Bambi legs took over... ;) Again - :o what a lightweight!

Hope I didn't freak you out too much by NOT coming across like an ogre.....even if my copper-orange hair might have otherwise done the trick.....ha ha....
And Kezzie and Cheeky - you're right - we DID have a lush time.....a great weekend, folks! Where's Liv? Not heard from her here since that Saturday.....
Have gotta echo all these comments.
Big-up to everyone for showing. Special thanks...
Liv Tattum & Shug for making it happen.
Muffy for having the consideration and kindness to put together a 'Manchester Souvenir CD', as I shall always think of it. It's been on my player non-stop since Sunday. Top Geeze.
Allen J for sorting Trains & Hotel.
Highlights.......
DJ playing HTS in the Aqua Club.
Whole mob of us dancing to Crystal in The Brickhouse....'with a girl half my age'.
The legendary Mr Gray coming out of retirement & regaling all with many a tale. Here to stay Marty?
Watching Final Score in Dry...ManUre 0:1 Boro & thus saving our souls from being subjected to smug ManYoo fans all evening.
Singing Crystal in the Taxi on the way to Rusholme.
Cheeky Monkey falling asleep in the Curry House toilets 
.
Low-lifes......
Throwing a load of mint yoghurt down me new troosers whilst aiming for a Poppadom :o.
Hank Wiseass having to shoot off early before the party really got going. Next time fella.
Virgin trains taking nearly 4 hours to get from Euston to Mancland & charging £2.50 for a can of Stella. Robbing bastards.
Sure there's plenty more I've forgotten.
So Martin...will you be at Finsbury????????
I'm feeling fairly confident that the rest of you shall be there...just hope you won't make too much fun at the expense of the drunken American...
The highlight of Manchester was not having me there :) Thanks, Berystede Hotel, Ascot, for ripping me off and causing the bank to freeze my account.

We were wondering why the hell you weren't there with us Hubert! You'll have to make it next time :)
Marty - Spoke to Liv last night whilst I was hanging aroung the Filmworks like a wally. Think she's spending a lot of time in transit between Derby and Manchester at the mo'....
Yep, it was great to meet those who made the effort to be there and put faces and personalities to them too. Highlights for me were Shug falling asleep in Dry on the Friday, (Do you really not remember me tonguing your earole wee man? Must be losing my touch!), and then Shug CHOOSING to be Scottish in a Rusholme curry house later the same night. The next night it was Livs turn to fall asleep in another curry house, snuggling into Major while he sat there scared to move. Plus everything Jonnny G said in his highlights list. Can't wait for Finsbury, it's gonna be a belter of a weekend!
Indeed, Big Ups to everyone who attended. Cracking day/night out. Regards also to those who attended who're not NOOL'ers (though quite why I'm writing a Big Up to someone who'll never read this is beyond me, but there you go).
Dread to think how much ale we all sank. . . Bloody loads, certainly..
Let's be honest, though - Dry is an absolute sh*tehole. Always has been, and seemingly always will be.
Zinedine - you were at least there in spirit. How many text messages did you receive in the course of the night?
Here's to doing it all again in Paris (with an actual gig at the end this time, instead of Liv forcing Every-Other-DJ to play Muffy's "Here To Stay" CDR's!).

Did you have to mention this big yin
My memory of that evening are somewhat blurry! I do remember slagging the Queen And then all of ye's winding me up by calling me English - but the best quote came from Liv when she said "If you're Scottish, I choose to be an Argentinian" 
As I said - fookin great meeting ye's all - roll on Birmingham:evil:
Believe it or not I'm still in a very "up" mood from that last weekend with everybody - which must be a first!! It usually doesn't take very long before I slide back into my usual doleful miserable pissed off and angry self - ha ha!! Hearing "Here To Stay" being blasted out at Aqua was also a highlight for me - when I played it back home on my humble hi-fi it somehow didn't quite have the same "WOW!" impact! 
Infact I want to do a remix of that single edit version on my computer where I can up the keyboards in the mix to make it sound more "Perfect Kiss"-like, plus add a few "euphoric-crowd-larging-it" sounds to make it appear positively electrifying. I'll let you know if I succeed in doing this....! By the way, what's happened to young Stevie boy?? :) :) :) :)
