Righty then, new thread for pics and stuff about the Notts event.

Warning: Pic heavy.

Managed to get up in time on Friday, I had been drinking the night before, wandered up to Notts and met Brams in the station. We then went to look for the hotel to dump stuff off.

Brams caught unawares at a crossing:

Bags dumped and tea consumed we did the only thing that seemed appropriate, drink.

We drank a lot in fact, and had a burger.

Then Dave and Sam turned up (Breakaway and logan_storm) and we drank more, as is our custom.

Then we drank more....

Just like to say thanks for the great night out guys, was awesome and I have a sneaking suspicion that Trivaldi may have brought his gm stealth tool :lol:

I quite like the one of me shooting DJ... serves him right, tbh :p

Here's my photo of the Nottingham mob the morning after a few of the party had gone home:

Was definitely a good fun night. Sorry I bailed pretty early.. my warm bed was beckoning.

10-12-07, 14:45
So what were you all drinking and how much did a round come to?

Dribble Joy
10-12-07, 15:13
The whole group didn't get rounds, as some of us had all ready had about 7 pints by the time we were all there and another 15 would have killed us.

Most of us had smaller 2-4 man rounds. I think the most expensive one was in Walkabout early on Saturday, when Brammers got him, Triv and Dave a bottle of strawberry pear cider at around a whopping 3.40 a bottle. I had to pay 2.35 for a pint of Smith's.
Fortunately we spent a lot of the night in a 'Spoons or Lloyds where I didn't have to pay more than about 1.89 for some decent real ale.

OK....

Day Two.

Brammers and me were feeling the night before....

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture051.jpg

After some tea we went to a local greasy spoon and had some scoff.

After the mailing and phoning of people we went to Walkabout, which was cold and very pricey.

Triv found us and we vacated to elsewhere.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture052.jpg

Went to the Bell, and had some beer, then we went to spoons. I drew an NC logo and a brief sketch of DJ.
Dave drew a dragon, which was the start of the montage.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture053.jpg

Hoder and Lodar turned up..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture054.jpg

As did Mystic and Propane (danmalone)..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture055.jpg

As did Judge, he's clearly done something naughty and is trying to hide it from the glare of Triv.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture056.jpg

Andy and StevenJ turn up.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture057.jpg

Propane and Mystic plot..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture058.jpg

Counter plots are formed..

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture059.jpg

Will (alge) and Chris turn up, rounding off the eXL guys.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture060.jpg

As a result, much beer is consumed.
We then move to the Pit & Pendulum, where the trend continues.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture061.jpg

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture062.jpg

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture063.jpg

Then we went somewhere else, I forget the name, where there was some sofas and whatnot to park our rumps.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture064.jpg

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture065.jpg

Everyone loves Grandad...

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture066.jpg

Triv starts to get tired....

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture067.jpg

I think at some point Doc and Kid Twist arrived and we went somewhere else.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture068.jpg

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture069.jpg

Will tries to explain to a obviously uninterested or just plain drunk Steven.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture070.jpg

Hoder is not amused.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture071.jpg

Andy makes a foolish comment....

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture072.jpg

Steven knows what's comming...

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture073.jpg

Me and Brams sit back and watch...

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture074.jpg

The crowd gathers....

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture075.jpg

The challenge is issued!!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture076.jpg

Cracker is DOWN!!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture077.jpg

Doc shows his magic tricks.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture078.jpg

We then retire for the night. Chips and Pie are bought.....

Day Three.

The Pie is eaten. It is cold and slimey.

We meet up with Hoder, Lodar and Triv and hit up spoons.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture079.jpg

We get a load of food and the rest of the lads appear.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/Muffdemon/Picture080.jpg

Beer (in my case, a lot of Earl Grey) and scoff is consumed.

We then buggar off home in various directions.

Its a shame that they had a DJ rather than just letting people play stuff on the Jukebox. The DJ only played a couple of good things (at least, whilst I was there)... Dragonforce being once of them. Breakaway asked for Sonata Arctica but to no avail.

The Pit is an excellent bar. Could have done with a better DJ though.

Get some proper Extreme Metal going.

Sorry if i was a bit quiet i was tired from work and not really feeling in the mood for being out but i tried desperately to put a brave face on and not dissappoint. i got far too pissed too easy but hell it was a cheap one :) thanks for the photos up there too. i still dont think i remember exactly who was who but fuck it. good game :)

Lol, I went up to request dragonforce with breakaway and left with the number off the girl who was helping out with the DJing. So I can't complain too much.

Lodar
12-12-07, 16:00
Yep that had to be living on a prayer, the look on my face also confirms it. As for the Pit, I'd heard so much about the bookcase-opening toilet doors only to find they were wedged open. Disappointing. :(

/edit: And Hoder, I still think Wizzard > Slade. Incidentally, there wasn't as much Crimbo tunage down in Notts as I would have liked.

Breakaway
12-12-07, 19:58

Easter, eh? :D

Nice and early, March 23rd is Easter, so can I tentatively propose the following:

Friday March 21st, Manchester or Leeds? If we do it on a Friday, we'll avoid Sunday and Easter Sunday public transport (and just have Good Friday to deal with...), and Saturday night would also be available for the more hardened boozers? :D

anytime around easter is good for me, leeds in half an hour down road from me but i dont have a clue where anything is ( cept ikea, dont ask!) and dont know manchester either so i aint fussed which we go to.... i would say come to York, but the nights out aint the best, maybe its just the people i go out with? :(

I think its safe to say that this will definately be happening around March/April time as a fair few seem up for it :cool:

Sounds like a plan :)

Whatever is decided, we need to fix a date with a little more notice than last time. That way, the travelodge rooms can be booked at a discount. The biggest discounts are given when booked at least 21 days in advance.

The biggest discounts are given when booked at least 21 days in advance.I guess we set a tentative date of the 21st then, and if nobody strongly objects by, say, Tuesday that's settled?

After speaking to everyone last Saturday, choices seem to be Leeds or Manchester? Either is good for me.

(PS - the last one was planned in September!)

CMaster
14-12-07, 14:41
I'm in Leeds, so can guide you around various bars and what have you (although I think I've only once been out on a friday/saturday night - far cheaper and more pleaseant to keep to the week as a student) or I dare say I could make my way over to manchester.

Lodar
14-12-07, 15:47
As you know I know Manchester very well, and I must say one problem we may have is that with such a diverse bunch, it might be difficult finding places to suit everybody. The size and sparcity of the city itself may also compound this problem. Plus I don't really want to be captain! :p

That said I'm up for Manchester if everyone else is. :cool:

Jodo
14-12-07, 17:27
I think as long as the beer is a decent price and you don't need to wear a kevlar vest as a safety precaution then that'll suit everyone really. That's generally all I ask for in a night out anyway. :)

CMaster
14-12-07, 18:02
Leeds is pretty grouped togeher into a city centre. We may have to stay put a lot more than you lot did in Nottingham though - lots of places start charging to get in at weekends

so the date has been set, i got no problems with that, ill book the day off work by tuesday if all go's well and theres no objections.... the next thing we need to sort out is where....

Leeds or Manchester..... i aint fussed about either, we got Cmastar for our guide in leeds, cept i dont like the idea of been sat in the same place all nite and dont wanna be spending the earth getting in diff places.

Lodar has a reasonable knowledge of Manchester... not sure how places work in manchester, im assuming it will be similar to leeds and york (having to pay to get in sum places after say 11pm)

Either way, both destinations are reasonably close (20mins train to leeds and 1hr 20 to Manchester... which is alot less than nottingham so im happy :p )

Possible make a vote?? :cool:

Niddy is from Manchester too isn't he? It'd be interesting to meet the man himself.
Although, we'd probably have to protect him from assassins sent by ex forum users if he did turn up. 8|

A few facts that may sway decisions:

Manchester's two most convenient Travelodges don't have cheap saver rooms available that weekend as it's a bank holiday. Staying conveniently close to Manc city centre will set you back £71 to £81 per room per night. There are rooms available at the sportcity hotel for £39 but it's a good taxi ride away.

The two closest to Leeds centre on the other hand have £29 saver rooms available on the Friday only. Saturday will cost £60.

So I guess it comes down to people's budgets. Saver rooms get booked up pretty quickly and once booked, there is no refund or exchange if anyone changes their mind. That's what makes it so cheap.

Like CMaster said, Leeds is all in one place, whereas Manchester involves a fair old walk.

Discuss.

At first I thought that weekend was going to clash with another event, but it doesn't so the date is good for me.

Location Hmm.... either way, I'm going to have to travel a long way, but thats not a big issue for me!

I have been to Manchester once, but never got to see the nightlife and pubs that Manchester has to offer. As for Leeds, I've never been there so that is also a good option as well.

Also for the rail travelers, if you travel up on a Friday, and travel back on a Sunday the cheapest fare is about 87 quid, but if you go back Saturday it's 48 quid.

Well Leeds is that much closer to me so based on that and the fact that it would be cheaper I vote for Leeds. However if Manchester ends up being where we go I will still most likely be there :)

Either is good for me too - not much help, eh? :D

Leeds - 1 hour train

Manchester - 1 hour bus

If people have no preference, and either is good for folks, given the concentration of bars, and cheaper rooms Leeds seems the better option?

/me votes Leeds

Been to Manchester, however it is spread out, never been to Leeds and it sounds the cheapest so I think Leeds wins overall there.

Don't mind on actual location, but going by hotels and the more central nature of Leeds, that seems to be a form of a plan.

Both rock for a night out. I have been to Leeds and Manchester before. Both are amazing. Whichever you pick is going to be a top night out.

When is it? March/April?

I can possibly make it, Leeds is fine to get to, its only an hour from here. Depends on money thats all as I will be jobless for about a month come the end of march.

Either central leeds Travelodges, and both the Arrmouries and central leeds Holiday Inn are in quite reasonable loactions.

On the other hand, if anybody wants some slightly fancier accomodation, Number 42 (http://www.42thecalls.co.uk/) is generally considered Leed's best hotel - and cheaper than the Radisson (although apparently not the Hilton).

Oh, and for real cheap accomodation, there are two sofa beds in my lounge. These are only open to people that I already know mind.

Wow, i never thought everyone else would be up for another event so soon. Leeds seems to be the best choice thus far, i don't really mind where as i'm prepared to travel based on the fact that Nottingham was awesome.

leeds is looking like the best option at the moment, due to the fact that places will be cheaper, plus as it will be a saturday the prices will be higher and alot of conjestion in manchester do to man city/ man utd away supporters comming down for the night. Leeds has my vote.

CM's drinkin' maps (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=uk&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=103254829708203124071.000441660edb40d85a8dc)
A selection of bars and pubs in Leeds, and the hotels so far mentioned.
Also including The Otley Run (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otley_Run)
There are countless more bars and I haven't even started to add clubs yet. Rest assured that nowhere marked in the city centre (between the inner ring road motorway and the river) is a long way from another drinking hole.
