Manchester Piccadilly would obviously be the best place to meet up.
Yeah it would but probably a sub section of it and not the main station as it's huge. Best bet would be down the escalators to the metro link section (just before you go down the next set of escalators to the actual met), it's less crowed around there.
Yeah that's probably the best place to meet.
I would think Victoria station would be best cause I don't know anywhere else :v:

Most trains go to Pici, so meeting at Victoria would confuse a lot of people who are new to Manchester.
All you have to do cypher is hop on the met to pici. Or we can all meet at pici and pick you up on the met.

I don't know how to get to Pici. Could people meet me at the Victoria Station?

Like I said for the people who don't know Manc they can go to Pici and meet me there, then we can just hop on the Met to Vici, only takes a few minutes. It's just because I think most trains go direct to Pici rather than Vici so it would be easier..
Meet at Thurso. Best meeting point there is.
you guys should go to matt and phreds for drinks

I was thinking more along the lines of Walkabout to catch some of the football :clint:
Ok not to turn this thread on it's head but instead of a Manchester meet (as much as I love Manchester I think this would be better..) why not in Blackpool? We could go the pleasure beach for one, plenty to see and do after/before going there too.
Just a thought.

It's only a 7 min walk from Picadilly to Victoria. Surely it wouldn't take too much of your day to walk and meet me outside the gent's toilets? :v:
So, what exactly will we be doing? Milling about in a parking lot?

Blackpool's full of gypsies, trannies and Scottish people.
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;24439338]So, what exactly will we be doing? Milling about in a parking lot?[/QUOTE]
That's why I suggested Blackpool, at least it has rollercoasters an shit.
I was trying to think of stuff we could do as a group in Manchester and it's pretty limited really..

Enjoying the city. :iia:
and whatever comes up. We could walk down the gay quarter :v: Or check out the Chinatown that I've never seen.

There's 2 key areas in Manchester.
There's outside Urbis where all the skaters jack off to the scenesters.
And there's the fountain where the homeless like to jack off and have showers.
Then you've got sub areas: China-town, smelly-town, c[B]Anal[/B] Street (Gay village) and then there's around gmex which is basically some old roman fort and MOSI.

Which makes it hilarious.

Chinatown is full of really good value shops and food places.

Last time I was there my ice cream got stolen by 2 seagulls, who proceeded to drop it on a car.

Aye, net - metro - metrolink - tram.
Manchester also has about 6-7 Tescos within a short distance of each other.

Loitering in Tesco.
LUHG and coffee are you two definitely coming if we move it a week back or not?
