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:

It was a surprise to us all* that Liverpool has discovered basic household appliances.

*not all of us.

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?
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.

Don't forget your rake.
There seems to be about 10 staybridge hotels in liverpool, I just picked 1 at random, and it seems to be about £100 for the night...

We were at the Albert Dock one, right near the Beatles Story place for lack of knowing any street names

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...

Good job it isn't this month or I'd fit right in there.
Leave it with me. There are apartments all over the city with weekend leases. I'll do some research
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.

Was that one of the 13-year-old Beyonce fans you were ogling?

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?

It may be the drink and hazy memories talking, but she was the hottest girl ever.

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?
DavPaz wrote:
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.


There you go!

How's the research going?
Well. Please stand by...
We are 100% definitely not coming to this now. I thought I'd be able to make it happen, but sadly not. :(
That's a shame. I like Ange.
I am 100% out as well.
Well, without me, Myp & Bobby it's looking like it'll be a... Sensible weekend? Hmm.

*mwah*
Is this now yet? I want to have funtimes in Liverpool.
I, though, will be coming along. Though leaving at a Sensible middayish time for a Southerner to get South on the Sunday.

Oh Christ, no. I didn't know they even had those in this country. Literally: don't go there.
