MANCHESTER MEET THE SALISBURY SATURDAY 17TH FEBRUARY 2PM

[Mr_Simnock]

oh dear, the first lord larry of letdown, and it's still a month away

[Gurke and Hare]

I said I couldn't do that weekend in the last thread! Hence the runaway victory for it in the poll.

[Mr_Simnock]

just, let down, no other words, this site

[king_tubby]

Thanks @tookish and @madhair60

It's general crowd anxiety stuff, I wouldn't be anxious about meeting internet types as I've been doing it since the late 90s. Even went to a CaB meet in, hmmm, 2005.

[shoulders]

More people telling anxious people 'it'll be fine' probably isn't going to help, so all I'll add is that at larger meets I tend to find it paradoxically easier because you can have one on one conversations and there's less people listening to what you say, what you're doing etc.

But you will be made very welcome regardless.

Please, if you think of anything that might help, let us know. We may be a bunch of acerbic twats but we're your bunch of acerbic twats.

I'm awkward but I'm used to it.

I might see if I could attend, even though I haven't been posting for long.

[shoulders]

Fresh victims for my ever growing legion of the undead

[ros vulgaris]

I'm undead already, it always looked more fun.

Will we have name tags?

[Mr_Simnock]

If you want but usually no, in fact some even dislike being called their forum name at all

[Oz Oz Alice]

I'm up for this, put me in the game coach.

[kalowski]

Might struggle to make this, but will try. Will let you all know as soon as I know.

Frist Gurke and Hare and NOW THIS

[kalowski]

Sorry. My lad has cricket that afternoon and I'm going to the Manchester and Salford film society in the evening.

[Anagram of a Shit Name]

Despite me not posting on here for about 5 years, and also despite my hating most social situations and most people, I might try and come to this in an effort to be more sociable.

If I can get a hotel room/air bnb.

Or maybe an air mattress and I sleep in my van.

[Harry Badger]

cricket that afternoon

Breed 'em tough up there.

I might be up for this if there is the possibility of a sofa or halves on a AirBnB. Or failing that, just going to an all-nighter somewhere.

[Stoneage Dinosaurs]

I've got a travelodge on the Salford quays but it's only got one bed so I'm fine for anyone to crash there if they're fine with sleeping on the floor/a chair (or failing that, platonically sharing a bed with a moderately sized man) Although my alarm might go off fairly early the following morning if I end up deciding to do a hiking trip or something but feel free to ignore it

Not heard that Northern Boys one yet

Right, count me in. I've got earplugs, an inflatable pillow and clonidine so frankly I can sleep anywhere. And I'll need to be getting back to Cardiff fairly early doors so no problem on that score.

Fair dos, see you there then! There's trams and buses that go between it and the Salisbury with a small amount of walking, but it shouldn't be too much of a faff getting back there

This is going to be the highlight of my Feb, and that's saying something - I've got a gynaecology appointment too!

Yes, there was an opportunity for a joke about dry, tight cunts, wasn't there?

[imitationleather]

At meets I always end up sat next to this guy:

...which one is you?

[prelektric]

Hmmm. Well - that whole Oxford Road area used to be my stomping ground for about 10 years between 1997-2007. The Salisbury included.

Put me down as a "maybe" for now - just spent a large amount of cash on the Chart Music Brum event. We'll see.

[holyzombiejesus]

I once got arrested after partaking of the 50p tequila slammers across the alley in Subway. Is it still open?

[prelektric]

Fuck it - booked it. Managed to get some deals here and there. Count me in.
