So now all we need to do is find, what, a 150 bedroom cottage....? Damn. Bobby and I have stayed (with loads of friends) in a couple of 20 (or is it two ten) bedroom cottages in the countryside near Derby. They're so ace that about twenty of us played sardines in them, and numerous games and variations on 'Hide & Seek'. They're enormous. Plus they have a snooker table. And grass on which football was played. And several tellyboxes. *scratches chin* I know that this thread is going to seperate the sensible beexers from the ones who get totally carried away but I want to do this!! |

I'm not reading 6 pages. My preference is end of January. But I'd go for end of November or February. |

I generally rely on the cheap lodgings in Nottinghams, so you'll have to sign me off this one. |

This has been decided without my knowledge, it should be pointed out. I'm not sure how many I can hold, and I'm not actually in Manchester, I'm in Stockport, but I am willing to take guests to some degree. It depends on how much discomfort they can bear in the name of saving monies really. |

Don't forget to give Zardoz his copy of Dead Space. If you've lost it, you'll have to buy a new one. |

Well they're all pretty even apart from October. I'll give it another day and then make a decision. Is there anyone who definitely can't make February? |

Yes, that's the only thing that concerns me - that it's so far away that Mr Chris will completely forget about it and not turn up people will lose interest. |

Post subject: | Re: Be Excellent to Each Other in Manchester |
I was thinking that as well but it gives us something to look forward to, with that much notice we should all make it and I think it should be good! |

And if you want to play the "everyone says it so it's OK" card we're going to have a serious talk about the signs in every Tesco branch that say "10 items or less". |

Waitrose: 10 items or fewer Sainsburys: 10 items or less Asda: Baskets |

Technically and non-technically - technically the worst kind of wrong! |

Post subject: | Re: Be Excellent to Each Other in Manchester |
I'll have forgotten about this by February, and probably been evicted too. Does Asda/Tesco specify a limit on the number of baskets? Could you legitimately carry a basket laden with goods in each hand through those checkouts? |

Birmingham's the second city. Since when has there been a debate about that? |

Hahaha that Wikipedia page just lists a bunch of reasons why Manchester isn't the second city, but tries to appeal the wrong-heads that think otherwise by saying things like "nearly" and "close" |

I'm leaning for either date in 2009, 2010 is a long ways off and I'll probably have lost interest in you lot by then if you haven't made me a mod by New Year. |

Quote: In a recent survey commissioned by the BBC North West investigating the subject of the "'Second city' of England", 48% of 1,000 people said that Manchester deserves the distinction, with 40% choosing Birmingham. Well wouldn't more people in manchester choose manchester... Surely doing a poll in london or over the whole country would give more impartial results. |

That only works if you're paid at the end of the month, rather than on the first. |
