Right - time to give out some punishment. My mate Hugh who is coming to Manchester joined the list and reckons you lot are all spotty adolescents - he wants to know when you all get dirty (I told him come along to the chat but he's shy).
Shy? Classic spotty adolescent behaviour. Saint Lucy would eat a wimp like Hugh for breakfast.
You'll have seen his weak efforts to leave but he's still on so far hahaha so time for some stick probably - Keith or Peter?
No, Tag.
He also quite usefully sent out this info re. Mancs if it's not too late, and it would be fun if Manchester residents or ex-pats could violently disagree with him:
Violence may be the only solution.
Pubs near Town Hall - loads, problem is quite a few are small. However some decent ones within 5 - 10 mins walk:
Atlas - trendy cafe bar - actually pretty good. Lots of room.
There's actually an ever increasing number of such places all over the city centre, all basically the same. All playing Massive Attack or variations on that theme.
Dukes 92 - newish pub in old building
A bit far.
British Protection - gay pub but really nice
Briton's Protection. Is it gay? Smog played there a while ago, and that wasn't gay in any sense of the word. It's minute, but it's good and pubby. Square Albert gets my vote.
[ Ed: note the "but" - he's a fascist ]
Marble Arch - probably 10 - 15 mins away. But real ale heaven.
Does that mean full of cable-knit sweaters discussing their pints of Roger's Old Smegma. 'I like a pint wi' dead flies in it'. Give me lager any day. Well not today, anyone who was on line at 12.30 lst night will know the state I was in. Never again.
Lass O Gowrie - brew their own but not very cozy. Mark and Lard frequent.
I'm sure Dina could tell you about the Lass.
And for food I could suggest:
Loads of Chinese round the corner, plus one Thai (Chang Rai) Good Pizza Express Cafe Uno - Italian over the road. Average Upmarket Indian over the road, but not that expensive - cant't remember what its called but its good. Mash and Air - dead trendy in gay village. Fisting in the bogs. Food pretty good. Service shite.
Fisting in the bogs? And felching in the marshes. There are lots of places to eat nearby, too many to list.
[ Ed: ummm ]
Anyway I know loads of places, although whether we will be able to get in with 30 peolpe on a Saturday night after Christmas is debateable. Other possibility is to drive/taxi 2 miles to Rusholme, home of the asian cafe. There are literally dozens of cheap curry houses (and good) where you take your own wine, beer etc. Best place to get lots of peolpe fed.
Yes, this is true. It is a bit far, and the possibilities of ending up somewhere a bit dodgy are plentiful.
So that's it. You might also meet BlueBoy, a welsh lawyer, a big-nosed english lecturer and a gay buddhist in Manchester with me - look out for the area cordonned off by the police.
Paul, you're so crazy.
Oh and see you in #Sinister tonight, cos, let's face it, Wednesday isn't the meet up day, it's everyday.
Damn right. Looks like all go for the after show disco dancing extravaganza. Learn the mashed potato, the madison, the hustle. The best dancer gets a snog from me, the worst gets one from Julian. And anyone who won't dance gets fisted in the bogs by Hugh. Details to follow tomorrow or as soon as I've spoken to the elusive promoter man. My hangover is now clear and I love everyone again. Unless they support Middlesboro. Bye Love Tag xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
