Yorkie Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm finding it difficult to extract a specific 'best moment' from the weekend, due to the fact that I have a quagmire of unrelenting defeats to wade through. R/B, NUFC, pool, darts, FIFA - a weekend of literally constant losses has left me feeling physically bruised and wondering what horrors the next day will bring. Even the train to Edinburgh dealt me with a blow, inexplicably forming a globule of manky drip which rained down on me on Sunday night; like a final middle-finger from this whore of a weekend. jeje, fucking brilliant weekend. Love you all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I propose we don't wait another year for the next one though. I'm thinking an end-of-season clash in May. Also, hope those who hadn't been to one of these (be it the game or the night) enjoyed it. And thanks again to Yorkie for organising it. This. Get it organised so I can book holiday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Special mention must be made of our 20 or so minutes in Sinners, a place where IQ points go to melt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Special mention must be made of our 20 or so minutes in Sinners, a place where IQ points go to melt. I'm unsure who actually suggested Sinners. I can vaguely recall someone - Yorkie, perhaps - saying that they wanted to go to a terrible bar where dignity is yet to be discovered. Shame I didn't get chance to fight MKSC in the cage. Brett's Pardew love was refreshingly similar to on here. Think at the curry he was quiet for 20-30 minutes then someone mentioned Pardew's name and Brett just explodes into life launching a vehement defence of AP. It was quite something to witness.

Rich Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 We went there to meet SanToon's bit of stuff above all else, being the immense wingmen that we are. I fucking hated that Head of Steam bit afterwards, dunno if anyone could tell... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I thought we were going to The Cut originally then swiftly seemed to be diverting to HoS. At one point thought we were going to the Academy which I would've preferred but I'll live. It was alright, had no idea it actually had a proper downstairs area. I can recall coming back from the bar to see Taylor dancing and just shouting "mung mung mung mung" to the words of whatever song it was. Inspirational, really.

Rich Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Academy was shut, which was surprising for a Saturday night! Thought the other places were spot-on for the most part, not places I'd ever usually go to but will definitely start to now. Town Wall in particular was nomalo, Bodega a bit dead but it had Brooklyn on tap and darts so you can't complain there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Think it was my suggestion to go to HoS. Only place I know of a Saturday that's guaranteed to have people in as it's free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I did have to do a bit of wading through the facially sub-optimal before arriving at a visually acceptable spot. Nee bother; will see you up in Scotland for the Hitman.

Dr Venkman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Head of Steam's class in the right circumstances, it's always been a funny one though due to it's proximity with the station and the fact that it's the latest bar open in town, give or take. It's also been open for longer than stuff like the Town Wall so it's got a fair amount of permanently pissed old fellas who don't go anywhere else. I've done some cracking gigs downstairs.

Slim Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Forgot to say that on the way out some lass went flying down the stairs on her arse. Drink all over and phone flying.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Sorry I didn't get to the evening stuff as planned. I was absolutely knackered from the driving/playing, and facing another 6 hours in the car on Sunday. Ended up getting a text from a mate and having a quick pint in Gateshead before crashing. Good day though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Good weekend with the only downside being that after hosting 3 members of my squad you always hope that they forget to pack something that you may have some use for...

The Prophet Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Just got back to the wonderful Cheshire. My knee is swollen, my foot kills and my voice is going. Had an absolutely brilliant weekend though. The R/B result was a bit of a shitter but had a great laugh, with great and people and great food. Sign me up for the next one!
