thanks a lot for that,im a bit daft i see loads of familiar people at all the gigs just am a bit shy dont know what to say. like the last gig i went to at preston i could see loads of folk across the way at that pub the mad ferret but just couldnt bring myself to go other ,sounds really daft i know,so i just went back to my hotel on me own when really just wanted a couple of beers and a laugh.jane

Hi - Been to many, many  gigs on my own and when I finally decided to make an effort and try to be a bit more sociable I just wondered why I hadn’t done it years ago ....   as for missing the Mad Ferrett, yes  it was a good laugh, but the Grand Central is a much better venue (in my view) so just make sure you go to that one!

Btw completely off-topic but is that an old Subhumans lyric in your message box?

Preston was a great gig huh? I stayed in the sidelines with my not impressed with seeing NMA AGAIN YAWN GF most of the night 'till I saw some poor sod just almost crumbling under a pyramid - then i went and squeezed his shoulders a bit - in a very friendly masculine and not at all gay way ok?  For all I know it was Barty - we'll find out in Manc. 

I remember the ‘crumbling sod’  pyramid if it's the same one – I was on the other side trying to hold it up as well  ...  I think it may have been Paul underneath  - it all gets  a bit lost in the fog of the night...  good times anyway...

First off - Shush - thanks man, your a shining reminder of what (new) friends are for! 

Dipple - and indeed anyone else needing a place to stay in Manc

Double rooms for £29 right now - 40 minute walk from the central but if a few of us book there then its a cheap shared taxi and no sobering walk.

NickyG - Man it was this huge MOFO of a beast with a face that was just saying 'I don't want boots digging into my shoulders no more.  No More!' And standing like a soldier just taking the weight - respect to whoever that was x

Just getting back to the hotel room thing, I crumbled and booked a rather expensive Premier Inn nearby, just so I can guarantee having somewhere to lay my head, but it's a room I can cancel without paying just as long as I do it 24 hours in advance if something cheaper comes along... just an idea if any of you are in a bit of a panic about having somewhere to stay and don't mind paying big bucks if you can't find a bargain?  It was PI Manchester Central, £79 if you're interested... keep me posted about cheaper options.

Now, it seems that there are a few people, myself included, intent on meeting up with like-minded folk before the Ritz gig, some of whom seem to be a bit new to the NMA scene... any ideas on how we can all recognise each other?  I'm gonna be there with my bezzie mate (also a die-hard NMA-er) but I'd be nice to hook up with people I only know through their forum names ... ideas?

Well, I'm not wearing a T-shirt with Shush on it again. Last time I walked into a room, everyone stayed quiet till I left

[purplehaze]

wearing an new model army t shirt wont help as everyone ,will be wearing them,so everybody would know each other you could tie something red or another bright colour round your wrist ,it would have to big enough to notice though.Money on it though il be the only person stood on street corner withsomething red tied round my wrist. ;Djane

Agreed, 16th of Nov is going to be a sea of NMA T-shirts on the pubs around Oxford Road... we've already had people posting about how they are uncomfortable about approaching people they don't know... to be honest, I'm one of them!  I only know NMA fans within my very small immediate circle of friends / NMA fans, despite having much communication with people of this forum (Hi, Shush!)...

Would it help if I create a FB page dedicated to a meet on the 16th?  Yes, we've all seen the FB debate, but if it would help, why not?

Opinions, people?

The After Show will indeed be at Grand Central, like last time. Only 5 minutes walk from The Ritz. We've had to start it a bit later though, so it'll be a midnight to 2am job.,.gives you time to get a beer or a curry or whatever. Looking forward to it!

Reason for late start is that because its a Saturday night, the GC will be busy anyway.

Crackin stuff matey!

[Shush]

Sounds like a good idea to me Master Rayce. If you get good response and arrange something, you can let us none facbookers know about it here
