Manchester Ritz November 16th

[Barty]

Us non-Facebookers need to describe ourselves then.....me, I'm 6' tall, tattooed, grey-haired and will be wearing black jeans and an NMA top. Instantly recognisable amongst the masses then 

[Shush]

To spot me, look for someone six foot, slim, handsome, grey haired with NMA tats on the right arm.

I'll be stood next to him 

[purplehaze]

actually id be quite easy to recognise ,my hair is 19 different shades of blue,purple and green

[Shush]

Sounds like I will have to look out for a Dulux colour chart

I'll treat you to a few pints now mate!!

[Master Ray]

Ha Ha!  Well, I'm a little bit over six-foot, little bit grey around the sides, short-ish hair, going a bit squishy around the middle... oh, it's no use, we need a proper way for us all to meet, especially in view of the fact that some of us, me included, are a little bit nervous about approaching strangers...

Never mind, we've got until November to sort it out...  I'll do the FB thing, but any other ideas are welcome...

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

Ah.... that sounds familiar

This might go horribly wrong but I will try anyway - Preston pyramid pic:-

NB - As I understand it, if someone links to a band page on FB, you can see the link without being logged in. If you link to a member's page then I think you do have to be logged in (which is why other links in the forum may work but this one may not).

but only the cool section

Re. Accomadation. ... Sachas on Sackville st. Is under £50 usually & The Brittania hotel if booked through a deal finder can be under £50. Also The Mitre hotel/bar near Hard Rock Cafe looks nice and is only £29 I think although I've not stayed there before....

[Barty]

Managed to get booked into the Best Western, Willow Bank which is just under 4 miles from the Ritz. £62.10 for a double (cheaper than the singles). Same price for a twin room.

[LCG]

Plenty of buses all through the night on that route Barty...and they stop virtually outside Grand Central!

You've made a great day even better mate! Looking forward to the after show. If last year's there was anything to go by, we're in for another treat. Thanks for sorting it mate, as ever. Barty

May have been worth mentioning, that's two double rooms you booked Barty.. We are close friends,, but not that close
