Aye. Then I hereby declare the official Northern Spring Meat day to be 19th May. All other dates are annulled and voided.

Great, we just need locations (ie, starting pub) to be sorted now then :)

I will commence downloading a tomtom map so I can plan the shortest route to the pub from the train station

Bed, Dog, Kenny?

 

Pls?

'Kay; assembling pub will be the Wetherspoons Lloyds No. 1 bar in Centenary Square. It's absolutely central, right under my (he said proudly) big screen.

I suggest 12 for 1 meat up unless peeps want to get there earlier for MOUSE BARGAINS.

Lloyds is right next to the Masti Restaurant & Shisha Lounge if people fancy a snack or a hookah full of apple scented tobacco.

Thinking about food, Mouse: should we curry for lunch or after Gasworkage? Wot's your thinking?

I can promise you the dog and the bed, old stick: Wingnut you will have to negotiate separately.

All >> It would be useful to tot up places in the dog basket. As ever, we'll work out a way to accomodate everybody in some fashion. So who wishes to stay Chez Manthorp?

I'll require dogbasketing, and will probably arrive in Bradford about twenty to two, or thereabouts.

As ever, you have pride of place and the burden upon you of as many bodies as choose to sign up for the night.

Ricard00 is already writhing atop you. Dirty bastard.

You better all last past 5 cos I wont be able to come out and play till after then.

Where does Mouse's shop fit into the day exactly? I want to go there but before noon is entirely unrealistic. Is the shop near where we will be?

 

I've been debating with myself whether to ask for some floor space but I might just go home at some point instead.

I'd have thought that the shop should be mid-afternoon, when everyone has assembled, got a beverage or two down their necks and maybe even a bite of lunch. We want to be good and rowdy and get Ricard00 into prime interior redecorating mode, for Mouse's delight and amusement.

The shop is pretty central - Bradford has a very compact city centre - and is easily walkable.

You are of course more than welcome to a place in the dog basket, whether prearranged or ad hoc.

Haha, nooo! No redecorating.

Just a few diced carrots?

Nooo. :( DO I need to put a "No vomming" sign next the the "No Stairway" one?

Got any 80's Tokai Tele's with Seymour Duncans?

I have not, no Tokais. The Mexican Fenders are very good at the moment though, as are the Indie Tele copies. Some are saying better than the Mexicans (and a fair chunk cheaperer).

Is the dog basket now full? Turns out I'm only busy down here on the friday, so would be free for a sat-sun jolly.

To enter the dog basket, you must answer but one question - are you Mazz0?

Dazz speaks sooth. There is always room in the dog basket for all except those homophonic with kosher crackers.

I'll get an update nearer the date, but for now I reckon you're the meat in a lerrrve sandwich between Ricard00 and Wingnut. I can't be the only person for whom that conjurs up a powerfully erotic image.
