UK NOOL Christmas Party?

Originally posted by Chris Nash Anyone interested in a NOOL Christmas Party held in either London or Manchester (or both)- NOOL members & their guests only?I know it's early, but hiring a venue, etc. takes a while to organise.Suggestions anyone?

Sounds good to me. Venue anyone ? Anyone got any contacts ?

Great idea! I had considered organising NeworderOffline parties for some time and to be honest there have already been a few loose get-togethers in pubs/clubs across the length and breadth of the UK...or to be more specific, 2 nights out in Glasgow, 1 in MCR (quite eventful by all accounts!) and a couple of footy related excursions in the big smoke!

Manchester would be the ideal location really.

Roll on Christmas.

Top idea - count me in! :D

I'd have to check my Christmas schedule, as I recall my pantomime commitments are fairly restrictive this year.

Oh no they're not:D

without any legs ??

Seeing as we have some fantastic performing talent amongst us, perhaps we should scrap the idea of a NOOL Christmas Party and put on a panto instead?

Me bagsy Widow Twanky.

I think I'm being committed that week.

When did you get out?

Originally posted by Ruined in a B Would that be suggesting, like a couple of people have told us in e-mail, that Easy E is actually Fred West ???If that's the case, I'm actually impressed with the content of his messages!!!!!(but I would be less impressed with his promise to never come back here again -- but I wouldn't expect that)

I know - that's why you keep coming up with the Canal Street gags - throwing suspicion on moi

Well MR SMALL you did insist we go there!:D

Originally posted by Chris Nash Judging by the way this thread is going, perhaps I'll approach the subject another way... ...plus I forgot I'm supposed to be playing 'The Grinch' in panto at Christmas (yes, I REALLY am!) In Tolworth, just down the road from where New Order played all those years ago...Oh well...

Sorry Chris ...you can have your thread back now MR SMALL has gone to bed!:D

You think I'm "Fred West" ? Why on earth ? I've heard of the bloke who used to be on here, had some tape lists from him in the past, but that's as far as it goes. I don't know what your game is Rocket Mick, other than that you are barking up the wrong tree.

It was just that he barred everyone from HIS site!It was shite though,see you and him have the same words in your profile about yourself.Very strange.He gets a NEW CD burner ,you do.Then he starts posting,gets barred again..says he will never post here again...and voila...SLOPPY FRED seems to convince NO one he his not posting here.Still i bet you are glad you are not him!But don't you just LOVE the ORDER...I shall find him...think he is staying at MARTY'S eating pies,corrupting sites and drinking LAGER.:D:D:D:D:D.Anyhow the confirmed RUMOUR will stop now cos i always talk a load of ROCKET SHIT.Question is EASY E do you? Rocket Mick making sense to those that KNOW!

If he is Timbo, I like the use of Hong Kong Phooey...

Anyway, zzzzzzzzzzzzz

who cares if Tim is Easy E or not.

Its too hot today to quibble Rocket

Who says I have a new CD burner ? I bought a new PC a couple of weeks ago that had a burner with it. And as for having the same words in profile, forgive me for thinking that most of the words in the profile were the titles of New Order songs/videos. Or am I also 95% of the posters on the site for liking Temptation etc ? I started posting here after the Old Trafford gig, after meeting most people at Dukes 92. We even met each other Rocket Mick, I was one of the lads with Alex, tall with short blond hair, royal blue t-shirt. You are the shinehead bloke, yes ? I don't know what you are on about re. "his site", pies and Marty etc ?

No mate it was the one line at the end which is individual to each person...about myself in which you use the exact same quote.You don't know how to use the CD burner...like me,so therefore i assumed it was NEW to you.As i have said already yoy also own the same amount of tapes as FRED.But i also said GLAD you are not him.As for meeting you,i avoided ALEX at DUKES but if you met me WHAT happened at OLD TRAFFORD itself.You should know that if you was with him.No offence mate but people like a joke every now and again and if I have got the wrong end of the stick so be it. Now quiet please cos ALEX is TAPING!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Remember now!????????????!!!!! PS did i actually meet you on FRIDAY on CANAL STREET with ALEX...or is that another Cheers anyhow ROCKET MICK Get ALEX to do your converting ...he has ALL the correct gear!:D:D:D:D:D

Topic police permitting.....

1. The "about" line appears to be a bit different to me - I have an extra line on mine. It's also quite witty and very relevant.
2. I know exactly how to use my CD burner. What I don't know how to do is to get tapes turned into CDs.
3. I've probably got more tapes than most people. I've got no idea how many Fred has got, don't care much and fail to see what size of bootleg collections has to do with anything anyway.
4. I spent most of the Old Trafford gig either sat in the stands with the wife or stood away towards the right of the stage. I didn't go to the front, and didn't see anyone after the gig (apart from Alan and co on the video screen with the flag). We got the tram to Stretford to avoid the massive queues, crossing over the bridge and back the other way into town.

Anyway, I will be attending the Christmas bash, wherever it is. Maybe if someone invites Fred West as well then you will see that we are two separate people.

How about we all start a "Send-April-to-the-UK" fund? :)

Actually I would LOVE to go!!!!

If I don't go though I will make a life size "April standee" and you must take me to the party and feed me yummy fruity drinks!! :p

Apologies if this has been mentioned but how about we hire out a reception room of a hotel?? hiring a club would be extortionatly expensive and just going out on a normal night out on the town is not exactly inspired is it!

If we hired out some reception room of a hotel or even a floor of a pub (in a chandos styleee) where we got an extended bar licence and a pair of decks we could have all sorts of fun and games with neworder related remixes on the ones and two's as well as barney dancing comps, lookalike comps and much more merry banter besides!!!

Lets go!!!!!!!

Hope your gonna pay fer it then Mr Brasco

Seriously though, nice idea - be great to listen to JD / NO etc... all night Bring it on indeedy!

I'll look into how much places will cost. We may have to all bung in a few quid for the night but if we get a decent amount of people it wont be too much, besides many places will make the money on the bar so it may not cost much to hire a place, sorting out some decks wont be a problem neither ;)

That sounds like a good idea Christine, a bit of music would be good, especially if it was NO related - more so if it was NO covers ... would it be just possible that we all could formulate again the 'ultimate gig wish list' (cue a thousand sorry voices) or has your band only learnt the 3 chords to Bacon Lettuce and Tommy Sauce?

Would there be a disco afterwards with 70's tracks? ... I could get up and dance with R Mick - we could do the hokey pokey.

Are you prepared to make 7,000 triangle sandwiches or will ShugZX81 be bringing these?

I could supply a pallet of Pringles if that was required? (I have some contacts in the industry)

just please keep me away from those novelty flavoured pringles, things could get rather crunchy ;)

Yet again CN, another good / potential great idea ... why not perform the NO / JD classics and invite members of NOOL on stage to perform each song? - I'm sure after the wine has flowed a few people will be keen to 'strut their material' with a captive audience. It might be difficult preventing some members from taking over the mic. - at the end of the show a few could jump up and trash the stage sending egg and cress sandwiches high aloft into the smoke filled room.

Perhaps Al Jarvalistic could read poetry or The Easiest E could bend spoons?

Will the Mondays be the warm up act or will we have to rely on Rocket Mick's dancing pencils?

The winner of the karaoke could receive a signed copy of 'Colourblind Mice' by Darius Danesh or similar trifle that emanates the top 40.

Incidentally, I was born to hustle.

For god's sake someone has to bring a video camera.

:\pimp3:

Having finally got my mitts on the Homage CDs, you should ask Liv and Co. to do a few numbers (provided Martin doesn't get to play the wrong chords at the start of Perfect Kiss that set everything else in the wrong key !!). Jim Reilly and Fred West could do some stuff as well. Their version of Truth was really good on record, and Fred's Day of the Lords was pretty good too.

[Ahem] Two hundred?

People are surely getting a little carried away here.. .

If we get 20-30 regular NOOL'ers that'll be impressive, bearing in mind most people will have to travel. Not sure we could manage much above that, as has been well documented even when the band 'proper' are doing a gig. Can't say we got any more than that for Move or Finsbree. The weight of numbers in the World's End and Dukes 92 was really just down to people knowing other people from various New Order circles, and nothing to do with NOOL whatsoever. And if you want another 150 'friends of friends' there, then that sort of defeats the object of this being a 'NOOL' event ... surely?

Your right Jarvo, especially if as proposed we are playing NO and NO related music all night, i certaintly could get a load of mates to go along but cant see them all being particually enthralled about listening to NO all night long!!! I think only forum regulars and a few diehard aquaintances could tolerate that much NO in one go ;)

If there's 50 turn up, I will eat Niel's hat.

I make sure its worn

I think New Year's a good idea. I always have a planning something to do, so something already organised would be fab

That was the end of my two pennies worth. :D

Originally posted by Chris Nash I'd be quite happy to move it to New Year - as long as New Order don't play again! (memories of Alexandra Palace come flooding back...)Like I said though - I just wanted to see if anyone would be interested. I'd be happy to be the nominal organiser, but as many of you on this thread have come up with good suggestions, comments & potential problems, I'm having a think about the best way to poll who'd go along, where to, and how the event should be organised.I'll keep you posted!

Well if i have a job CHRIS i will come along and provide the NOOL's with someone to take the piss out of:p
