Wish I could be there.....

Alan, thanks

Just get Bully to put a nice hotel and flight on the expenses tab for you:-)

Yes, Ruth, yours truly will indeed be making his debut NW Night Out in the Region of his Youth with all you "quiet, civil" folk! BUT...
only if you can spell my name right!!!!

Mark(US)antoni(US). :o)

:-)

Nice to see you've just amended Post 1, Ruth! Now anyone joining the thread here will wonder what on earth we're on about, won't they? :o) Not really a Chinese food fan but will make the effort on this occasion! Is it a "help yourself / eat as much as you can fit on your plate!" job?

Hi
sorry to say but yet another one we will miss. On holls but have a great night as usuall.

Are we having a Christmas do ?

Mark

Sorry can't come Ruth. It's half term and i'm off the see sunny Spain with the kids

Got your message, Ruth. Ta.

Beardy, whos going to tell the rude jokes now then?:-)
CC, enjoy your hols,

Bosley, Fundy - are you guys coming along?

Presuming this Monkey Pub is on the large size so how do I recognise you all - just listen out for a rowdy bunch, I presume? :o)

Markus, its only a small, you will hear Steph about a mile before you get to the pub, :-) and failing that, steph is a very tall blonde lady about 5"9,probably the easiest person to describe, will phone u on the day to let u know what were wearing if thats easier, but seriously dont worry, you will find us, its only a small quietish pub

Right, I'm not coming now, Ruth - tall blondes have caused me nothing but major trauma over the years - count me out, I'm afraid!!

However, the pub does have a half-decent write-up so maybe I will make an exception on this one occasion then...

Markus, Dont be put off by the tall blonde shes tame,it the bloke that wears the raddle and kiss blokes(and doesnt know it) when he's had to much to drink you want to watch??????? allegedly.

Ruth, I'll be up in the NW that week so you can count me in.
skg

SKG, good to see u again

Having been pre-warned that I may find myself outumbered by all these rowdy femmes next week, I reminded myself of recent reports typifying the instincts of la femme race...

The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were 3 finalists: 2 men and a woman.

For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.

"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!

The man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."

The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."

Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow.

"This gun is loaded with blanks", she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."

MORAL of the story: Women are evil. Don't mess with them.
Pass on this advice !!!

Any chance we can do the Iguana Bar - how far is this from where we are eating?

Beardy

Sorry to hear you can't make it AGAIN.

Just a suggestion to improve your social life, wouldn't it be better if you were tagged
rather than taking weekend release? :-)

Hi Ruth, U ok? Do you have room for another one? About time I had a good night out! PS- if anyone's from Stockport area I would'nt mind a lift? :o) Thanks anyone!
Mike.....

Any of the M/AM golfers tempted to pop along next week? At this rate, it's beginning to look like The Shark Boy will be the only newcomer -
and you know how shy he is!

Ruth,
In Swansea that day but should be home in time so put me and Viv down please.
Dave

Bosley, I've just been invited to ask you to explain all about a certain "wild, loose woman" who was "chasing Bosley at Northenden...", last time out? !!! ?

markus, i don't chocolat would appreciate being refered to as a "wild, loose woman" ;)

ruth, apologies, (again!) but i don't think i can make it next week . girlfriend says i've used up all me passes for this month :(

I will be there,first time for everything.

Your timing is, again, against me and Thursday's always a bad day in the rugger season - training (would you believe?!). Away that day! Have a prawn cracker on me!

Any particular place?

And anyway - it was Wednesday last time :P

Northenden!!!!! Woodhouse Park And Benchill next????

I cant make it.Tis the season for "Womens Chat Groups"

Hi have a good night,just returning from beach in tenerife.God life is so hard.Sputters diving ok.All you new ones beware of that raddle wearer.

Beardy:-)
great night out,bit quieter than usual, but think thats cause Steph stayed sober:-)
Skg83239, sorry i didnt get chance to say bye, u were already gone when i got outside,
Alan,Markus, hope you enjoyed the evening, newcomers always more than welcome.

Ruthy - Just popped in to say Hi and saw you'd had a night out last night - Hope you and all are well - will call you over the weekend. (Spoke to Mick on Weds) Rich

Steph stayed sober, eh. *Makes note in diary.*

Captain scarlet, look forward to it, he told me, said you had a good laugh on the phone,:-)but said you were going to bed early:-)
MM, :-) its true honest, must be our first meeting where she was able to walk in a straight line at the end of it:-)

Another great NW night out thanks everyone, I enjoyed every moment of it, Steph might not have got drunk but her pole dancing at the bar was the highlight of the evening.

Tim:-)

Yes.A great night

Really enjoyed my premier NW bash - thanks especially to Ruth for co-ordinating everything and chosing my prefered date.

Cannot believe all these malicious rumours abouth Steph, though? She seemed very tame to me - a meek kitten, nothing like I was lead to believe. However do have 1 gripe with her - suggesting a 2 tip for a self-service buffet = no wonder we're always skint!!

Speaking of which - following Sputnik to the NCP made it a hugely expensive evening - 60 for illegal parking! Are you sure there were no other ticket machine working, Colin, and how do we talk our way out of this one? :o( Anyway going by train next time so that I can have a beer or 2 !!!

M.

markus, at least you found your car, from what I here Chocky lost hers after one of these evenings ....

Chocky obviously still hasn't found it then - a no show tuther night!

Markus, wasnt me who suggested the tip, i just paid up what i was told:-)
not guilty of Rochdale:-)
well you should have known Sputnik would have tried to avoid paying for a parking space,i should have pre warned you:-) trying to extract a few quid out of sputters is a more daunting task than trading itself:-)

Ruth, You have mail.

The night out was great, good to put faces to the names at last.

Agreed. But forgotten half the names already - that initial handshaking sesh was a reet ol waste of time! :o)
BTW, Alan, were you the guy (who likes his food, just like moi!) sitting on my RHS at the table?

Markus, no Alan was sat next to me and Steph.

That was Spaceman

Yes that was me, Iain was at the bar most of the time.

Ah, now I remember.

Was I? Thats the trouble after Holts Bitter

Ruth,
I'm sorry I missed you, another entertaining night, thanks for organising the evening.

Anyone else get a parking ticket apart from myself, Sputnik and Christine? :o(

Markus, no we all paid , you were just unlucky you flollowed Sputnik in, the things that fella will do to try and save a few quid at the parking meter:-)

I didnt get a parking ticket either.

Yes, I know what you mean, Ruth - as if Steph's 2 tip idea wasn't bad enough! :o(

A very expensive night in the NW!

(V good meal though!)

.....even if the whole night did cost me over a 100, in the end!

Space - You can have mine :-)

Mark - It's worth 100 just for the memory

.....gggrrrhhh!!! :o(

anyone would think you're a tight northerner Marcus :-)

I live 00's of miles away, Steve, as you know - anyway your Fundy profile still says "Manc." which = a NW-er yourself!

not anymore it doesnt :-)

That was quick, Fundy! Good job I reminded you - now no-one will know what we're about, will they?

yep... I do.........he now does upmarket outlet shopping ... don't you fundy?:-0)

Close Jules

i sit glued to a screen to earn money so that it can be spent there :-)

Sputnik, thanks for the offer but I have plenty of my own down here ;-)

Letter just arrived from Manc. City Council...

"Dear Markusantonius......

May I apologise for the late response to this enqiry... After reading your articulately crafted letter, I can confirm that because the pay & display machine was 'Out of Order' on the night you arrived at this car park, we have cancelled your parking ticket and are sorry for the inconvenience we have caused you...".

'Right-is-Right-is-Right... and must be pursued...!'


markusantonius - 24 Jan 2007 08:35 - 68 of 69

OK, so I slipped the "artic..." bit in! :o)
