Alberto will know, because he booked it. I am also having problems remembering, for entirely unrelated reasons...

I've eventually found it was called the Staybridge Suites, although most of the email conversation appeared to be about going to Manchester. And rape.

Don't forget to bring an iron!

I'm sad I won't be going to this now.

I figured out the date by looking at my Guitar Hero Aerosmith achievements :nerd:

Yes. I was asking the year of your wedding, so the date I was referring to was obviously the date of your wedding. Wedding.

Ah, I completely ignored about six posts on the previous page as I was in such a rush to answer.

Similarly, the email I found referred to Mr Tonsils. Which confused me until I realised I got the train with curiosity.

Bearing in mind I shared a room with him that night, is this something I should have been warned about?

Does anyone want to come to Manchester with me?

Alberto · **Joined:** 28th Jan, 2011 **Posts:** 1198

In all seriousness, the Staybridge suites were nice but not cheap... at least, not as cheap as some would want their accommodation to be. I have vague memories of taking £100 off everyone, although that included karting and subsidised Myp for the weekend.

I picked one near there, but there were 2 or 3, not knowing Liverpool at all, I didn't know which one, either way that's too much for me (I'll probably need to stay for 3 nights!)

Looking for something less than half that per night really...

Leave it with me. There are apartments all over the city with weekend leases. I'll do some research

ApplePieOfDestiny · **Joined:** 17th Dec, 2008 **Posts:** 8293

Could you also ensure that hermione is available. Thx.

Just so we're clear, if I end up staying somewhere that doesn't do a proper breakfast I'm burning the place to the fucking ground.

You'd been in bed for quite some time when hermione entered our lives. Anyway, I wasn't ogling the beyonce fans, I was physically incapable of blinking.

Re breakfast, that is a good point against staybridge.

So we're watching both Bill and Ted films, then The Silence Of The Lambs, then Aliens, right?

I expect now they'll hold them back to coincide with the third film's theatre release.

Might have to be 720p TVrips, if that's the consensus.

Can someone not on a phone confirm the date of this for me?

Well, after discussions with the venue manager, the date is set as.... *drum roll*

the 10th/11th March 2012.

Save the dates, interested peeps. Also, movie suggestions would be appreciated.

We are 100% definitely not coming to this now. I thought I'd be able to make it happen, but sadly not.

I, though, will be coming along. Though leaving at a Sensible middayish time for a Southerner to get South on the Sunday.
