Reply to: Manchester Summer Meet-up!

[Churchill]

so let me get this straight - Chef instigated the meet-up and set the date as its the only day he could make it in Manchester - then didn't bother to turn up? - Class

I think he was worried that Wilmslow might turn up!

After drinking.................

.................Wilmslow was a no show, as was Chef.

Oops - forgot to post in here to say, nice to see RC again & lovely to meet DaveB & Mrs B - such a lovely couple!! Hope to see ye again soon!!

Sorry we had to make an early exit but to be honest, I was a little scared of RC coming back from the bar with some of that Russian Porter for me aswell

Frankly I think you made the right decision

I might be able to make it if it's anytime afetr 1 July. Will be in Carnforth from 2 - 17 July so not far to pop down there & meet up with you all

A few mminutes ago, a taxi driver came out to meet me at the edge of Manchester, armed with my mobile phone.

He would not take any money from me for the time and trouble; he was genuinely happy to see it returned.

I can't imagine a London cabbie doing that.

But I have no recollection of taking a cab!



I'll return to my exile now...

Glad you managed to get your phone and the "Master Plan/Random collection of post-its".

Nice to meet you again RC, and DaveB and Mrs B - a girly who really does know her beer.

CM has recovered sufficiently enough to kick me out of bed this morning to go to work!

Cheers chaps.

Somewhere between the pub and the train home, I lost both my mobile phone and the Post-Its (on which was The Brilliant Idea we had).

But it is not surprising. I think I remember ordering a pint of that 7.7% Russian porter, but have no memory of anything after that until I woke with a start at 8 a.m. not knowing how I got home.

And I have a big hole in my trouser pocket.

So, Churchill, CM, DaveB and Mrs DaveB: I don't suppose by any chance you picked them up for me?

And did Wilmslow turn up? I cannot remember.

PS Don't tell admin I was here. It would make he/she/it glum.

PPS Blimey, this place looks different.

After drinking a pint of that porter I'm not surprised. It's a good job it was a straight line from the pub back to our hotel!

Didn't see any notes or a phone left behind. Last we saw was you disappearing out of the pub at a rate of knots muttering something about trains.

I have to admit I was horribly ill this morning, stomach rather than head, which I am blaming on the russian beer and possibly the kebab we picked up on the way back to the hotel.

Wore off in time for a Sunday Roast at the pub though

Wilmslow was a no show, as was Chef.

Sorry gang - babysitter malfunction.
And as I spend all week away in Swindon, I don't really want to bugger off and leave Mr P on his own on a Saturday night.

So have a good time and I'll see you down the Steam soon, Churchie

Just get one of these. Works a treat for our two

Hi guys - May be able to pop in for a swift pint at around 10-ish.

I am doing my usual charity stint ending around 10, and off to Scotland seeing a relative on Sunday so cannot stay out late unfortunately.
