    Who's up for a northern VB-World Pub crawl!

    I think it's about that time again for the north of england VB-World sector to get lashed and find out if the people we talk to online are freaks or not.

    Well, it goes without saying that I'm up for it.

    I don't see why some Southerners can't come as well. They could get a cheap hotel room in the city for the night for about £30-40.

    I reckon Behemoth will come for a few.

    Come on Northerners, rally around the guiding beacon of....


    BEER!!

    In fact you can run it. Scots have to run that distance every day carrying a live goat - just to find fresh water!!

    Well, all Southerners own a Mercedes - so get up here, and pick up anyone else who's coming on the way!

    Anyone coming from Norway who can pick me up along the way? Or do I have to walk barefoot over red hot molten glass all the way there?

    Ummm, you might be thinking of slightly more northern south England Like Cheltenham. I'd have to go in my 'orse an' cart. Oh-ar.

    By the North I assume you mean Manchester, which of course is the only place worth visting up here. If so, count me in for the odd Aftershock or two.

    I'll be sure to bring a disposable camera on the pub crawl, so I can post all the pictures later.

    Will probably need an 18 certificate though....

    You can bet Arbiter has shed aa few tears in the Foot and Mouth Crisis.

    All those beautifull sheep. Arbiter even volunteered to roger every sheep in the coutry so they didn't die without ever feeling loved.

    Come on!!!!!

    Sounds like a night which will become legendary!

    OK guys, let's have a show of hands - who's coming then?

    Me
    Gary
    Matt
    Behemoth
    Ianp (must be Sat night)
    Alex

    Anyone else?

    I think we do the famous 'rainbow' from the top shelf. I think I'm going to need a hotel room in MCR, 'cos I don't think I'll be able to get home...

    And, the benefit of a hotel is, it will have a bar so I can pop in for a quick nightcap.

    Now all we need are some sexy women coming...

    the only reason for a saturday, is that the way the project is going at the moment, there is no way I can get any time off work and i'll be dammed if I'm driving 300 miles straight after work on a friday night

    No problem pal.

    I pity you having to drive 300 miles back darn sarf after a night on the town with some Northerners.

    You'll either still be in casualty having your stomach pumped, or at the least about 212 times over the limit. You'd have to go back late evening on Sun.
