Well, I'm back. ^_^

Manchester + DarkJewel + BoyToy + Huz + pinkgothic =

Huz is cool, by the way. Oh, wait, sorry, Huz, I wasn't supposed to reveal your secret, was I?

Welcome back from that particularly unique choice of holiday destination .

Did you see anything interesting, or was this more a relaxation/meeting up with people kind of holiday?

It was "more a relaxation/meeting up with people kind of holiday". Despite that, I did see interesting stuff, thanks to Huz being a darling and getting himself informed when his guests were too bloody lazy to. Though to be fair to myself, one of our destinations (Salford Quays) was actually my idea.

No pictures, at least, not yet

A holiday thread sans pictures? Way to break with tradition .

But seriously, it's good to hear that you were lazy had fun .

Huz is from AG but where's DarkJewel from? Raven Black?

Chop, chop with the pics please.



Where in the UK is Manchester anyway? I'm ashamed to admit that the only places in the UK that I can point out with any confidence are London and Oxford.

Haha - that's a great way to describe it!

I've just beaten my digital camera into submission, so I think the picture situation could be about to change...

It's about halfway between London and Sunderland, but to the West. Just look for lots of guys with long hair, when you see them you're in Manchester.

She's got an account on here somewhere, too, she just never posts. Technically, she's everywhere I am, and then some. So yes, also Ravenblack Vampires, though I stopped playing that (long story).

The picture situation has changed, sorta, but I'm too lazy to upload them now, so y'all must wait a while longer. Much thanks to the lovable Huz, though, for the pics. ^^

*ouff* *deflates*

*puffs chest back out*

Trepsie!
Oh, you know I'm good at copypasting.

pinkgothic


In all seriousness, though, *glomp*.
(((( Trepsie ))))
And
Trepsie

for hijacking the thread.



Coincidentially, how strange, I could have sworn there was a picture of Huz that was made... why oh why is it not in the zip file in my inbox, I wonder?

Well, actually, I can't bring myself to cheat with some of Huz' photos, and most of the rest that we actually took together are blurred so I'm going to cheat in a different way and present to you the pictures of my last trip!



http://www.pinkgothic.com/manchester...thicBoyToy.jpg
Don't we just love red eyes? From this time around, though.

http://www.pinkgothic.com/manchester...lwarmuseum.jpg
Not cheating - the Imperial War Museum @ Salford Quays.

http://www.pinkgothic.com/manchester/hazard.jpg
A Huz photo. From Huz, not of Huz. Because of it's sheer black humoured brilliance, it must be shared.

Last time:

http://440.datavibe.net/noko/bridgew...ewater_all.JPG
The Bridgewater Hall.

http://440.datavibe.net/noko/bridgew.../contrasts.JPG
Architectural contrast - a commonplace sight.

http://440.datavibe.net/noko/bridgew..._clockface.JPG
Nice, non-blurry closeup of the clock face of the town hall.

http://440.datavibe.net/noko/bridgew...ter_facade.JPG
Details, details. Random photo, actually.

http://440.datavibe.net/noko/bridgew...ght_orange.JPG
Also random.

http://440.datavibe.net/noko/bridgew...manchester.JPG
More randomness, illustrating the randomness of the city.

http://440.datavibe.net/noko/bridgew...chitecture.JPG
Another photo made in passing.

http://440.datavibe.net/noko/bridgew...uoiseglass.JPG
And another one...

Eh, I could photograph all of Manchester and not get bored... sadly I can't really present any really, really good pictures of tourist sites, bar the Imperial War Museum - but it's all good, really.

That's for me to know, and for you (and the Toysie) to find out.

Hope you're all nice and tanned after your trip here. Manchester looks nice, I'll have to check it out some time.

Sassy,

holiday = vacation.

It's European speak.

Nice pics Pinksie. Manchester seems very interesting.

In common usage. Oxford is adamant that we have vacations rather than holidays, though, as we're not supposed to stop working just because we're at university...

Err?

They expect you to work while you're on vacation?
