A holiday in Britain

pinkgothic · 12-16-2005, 07:51 AM

More specifically, Manchester. From the 23rd to the 26th of February. Me and BoyToy. We've got the flight booked and we know our hotel (the Jurys Inn by the Bridgewater Hall). Why are we there? For no reason other than that I love the city and my mum gave me some christmas cash to afford it with the attached command of 'Go take a holiday, or else', just with nicer words

So, why am I posting this? Well, frankly, if you're in the area, and would like to meet either of us spontaneously, you're heartily invited to tell me and we'll figure something out.

Since BoyToy and I have absolutely no plans what to do with out time as of yet, though, I doubt finding space for a long, drawn-out chatty conversation in a restaurant of choice will be a problem. Or whatever else any of you might have in mind.

So! That was my spontaneous action for the day. Now it's your turn, lads (and lasses).

Yea for you!!

Honestly, you all could have a big get together and take lots of pictures. And given the stress you've had of late, a holiday is just the ticket for you. I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing time.

Thank you, Melanie

But note that if Manchester has even half the effect on me it's had the last two times, I will be the Enegizer Bunny and burn out over the course of that time

Well, actually, I've no idea if it would go that far, but I wanted to antagonise the 'relaxing' bit.

Looks like AG people from all round the world are flocking to the UK now. You should all check out Sunderland, it's a fantastic little Northern city with the best football team in the whole of Britain

Hey! I've always been this obsessive about Britain - not just recently.

Good for you, it's a quality little country. I've never been to Manchester for some strange reason, I've heard it's got great nightlife.

And hey, I know some German now! Arschkeks!

mais pourquoi?

pinkgothic · 12-16-2005, 09:32 AM

No idea, Aj

I feel at home there. What's made me go to Manchester is a severe case of homesickness. But, rationally? I'm totally clueless.

RLacey · 12-16-2005, 09:38 AM

Everyone should come to Britain. I am of course wholly impartial on the matter...

pinkgothic · 12-16-2005, 09:59 AM

RLacey! You look like someone to meet in a pub.

*jabs with a sharp stick* Dontchawannameetus?

Manchester is a tad out of the way, I'm afraid, given that I'm down on the South coast

...

The only time I've ever been to Manchester was when a choir I used to sing in did a week of Radio 4 Daily Service broadcasts. Fun times

...

pinkgothic · 12-16-2005, 10:05 AM

Aww, damn.

saucyminx · 12-16-2005, 10:42 AM

Wow, Pinks! You and BoyToy better be sure to have an awesome time together in Manchester, all right? I am happy for you!

Merry Christmas to you in Manchester, pinksie and Boysie Toysie.

I fully intend to have said awesome time

But waiting for February is going to kill me...

We won't be in Manchester for Christmas, for a multitude of university-related reasons I won't get into here - but it's still our Christmas present, formally, we're just sort of taking it late [in February, as mentioned] ^_^ And hey - fix that financial problem, win the lottery! I insist.

I fully intend to write one, but if I forget - as I assume I will, since I suck - give me a jab about it. You have my express permission to.

So...
