woodhousen
March 18th, 2005, 03:27 PM

Blunther

Brummie chums,

See you second meet up is now soon, you need to be careful this is how the Liverpool ones started out , now we seem to be meeting up every week and using our alcohol addiction to talk about our skyscraper addiction ... or is it the other way round :bash:

Ok - I'm going to make sure I get my kid looked after on Saturday. What time are people out until? For the duration - 2am? And who said May 7th was cup final day?
See y'all @ 3pm at the bar downstairs - Sports Bar.

Elizabeth Kinoke
May 1st, 2005, 11:41 PM
Why don't you all meet somewhere like the craven arms by the mailbox, it's a good quiet meeting place and has great views over hct and sentinels from outside.

morestoreysplease
May 1st, 2005, 11:44 PM
We could, after the footie results. Whaddya say kids?

Elizabeth Kinoke
May 2nd, 2005, 12:13 AM
Ive met there on a few occassions and the beer isn't too pricey, it's friendly and has kept most of it's small town charm, if you get attacked by a bald bloke on medication who says he's a gay postman don't blame me though ok. Only jestin, it's a nice boozer.

mk61
May 2nd, 2005, 12:17 AM
I'm up for that.

Elizabeth Kinoke
May 2nd, 2005, 12:25 AM
I've only ever seen it packed once when Milwall played Blues and it seemed to be a HQ for Brum, they were hanging from the rafters, my cousin knew a few of them and aparently a guy called Tiny (which he isn't) was there, other than that it's quiet another cool one is bar red top of temple street, no dress code, table service by nice ladies, not too pricey and cosy atmosphere.

Rigadon
May 2nd, 2005, 01:22 AM
well if its anything like this weekend the I think we shoudl go somewhere with a beer garden/outside bit.


Are you coming snorky?

Rigadon
May 2nd, 2005, 01:23 AM
- 2am? .


It was 4:30 am last time

Elizabeth Kinoke

well if its anything like this weekend the I think we shoudl go somewhere with a beer garden/outside bit.


Are you coming snorky?

It depends on whether I am in Brum, trouble is everytine I'm around the city I'm with my bro or other friends who get pissed off with me talking about fucking skyscrapers and so I don't think they would entertain the idea, my bro would be cool with us poppin in for a beer I guess, maybe? don't count me in but I would like to meet up one time, preferably when A.C. gets the go ahead, I don't fancy talking about Blunthers piles in the mean time!

Elizabeth Kinoke
May 2nd, 2005, 01:39 AM
Im not sure but maybe a beer garden at craven arms, don't count on it though, actually now i come to think of it there aren't many beer gardens in town pubs the council don't like it, ipenema is good for sitting outside though, good view of broad street, you have to be careful going out in large gropus of men though, soem places don't like it.

Smileyface
May 2nd, 2005, 03:49 AM
If you're in town EK just pop down for one.....Blunther promises not to get his pile cream out.

Brummie Nick
May 2nd, 2005, 03:03 PM
I will try to make it down, quite like the idea of the Craven arms, we used to go there for a tot b4 the Blues matches, loveley old boozer. :)

A pic I took of the craven arms a couple of months back.

Rigadon

Its behind the mailbox.

You cant beat a "Pub to Let" sign covered up with a St Georges flag.

hasnt got much of a beer garden though :(

Elizabeth Kinoke
May 3rd, 2005, 12:04 AM
It's not as bad as it looks, the only time to avoid is before or after a blues match otherwise its fine, they don't like non brummie accents though from my experience, be careful rigadon. :runaway:

Most of my numbers were stored on the phone though so they were still there, which is why I thought I had your numbers. They must've been stored on the sim or something, which I've changed.

Birmingham developments website project

Hi will ask on here as more people might read :

am developing a site over my summer break, regarding Birmingham regenration/development projects, tall and short, covering all commercial sectors and concentrating on the aea bounded by the inner ring road (middle as was)

if anyone has any renderings they have found stored on the pc's, if they would be kind enough to email them, as pictures would look great, (i could just spend hours going through the posts, I know, but thought would ask for help)

I will have working link so people can see progress before i put the site live in commercial webspace and then it can stay there as a resource for anyone looking to see all the current and proposed projects, with hopefully planning details, renderings, development timescales, developers websites etc etc

so please, if anyones got any renderings Private Message me and will give you my email address, to forward them too

Many Thanks and hope to hear from you soon

Try Formule One motel in Bordesley @ £29.99 approx.
Or Ibis next door to this, or Ibis in ChinaTown.
Or Campinile at Park Central or Campinile Aston.

Rigadon
June 4th, 2005, 12:17 PM
If you want to be very central the cheapest place isprobably the Brtiannia at aroudn £40. Itgets "interestign" reviews. i think Liverpoliton stayed there recently you could PM him.

The cheapst place I know of is the Formule One place buts its quite far out if you wnt to walk everywhere.

well unless its difficult for anybody- why dont we saw generally meet up for 4:30 in the green room when smiley face can make it and possibly meet one or both of me/blunther/anyone else around 2 or 3 for an intial tour round. Cna maek the 2/3 meet up somewhere very easy to find like the Iron Man staute or New st station.

Thatway we cna stay inthe green room for a while so the likes of brummad or brummienick can make it.

I'm playing golf at ten to ten, so I'll probably be there for about two, then home for half two, so up town about three... then I';ll probably have to leave at eightish 'cos I'm off to a partay, so I'd better take it easy on the booze too....

I probably wont be there for long. This party thing's turned into a barbeque in the afternoon, so I'll pop up for a wander round and a couple of pints then I'll have to go. It's a bit of a reuinion, 'cos most of my mate's have buggered off all over the country, but they'll all be there.

Welcome back Blunther.How was your holiday ?

Cracking thanks. Unbearably hot though, though I hear it's been a touch warm in Spain. I don't know how you cope with it. 35C plus humidity and strong sun.... jesus....

Just off to Blackpool for a lads' piss up, and staying in a b and b. All the girls we know are off on a girly camping trip, so we had to do summat.

We're probably one down though./ A chap I ain't seen for ages works in the Bristol Pear in Selly Oak, and he got glassed across the face by some scally last week. He's gotta have plastuc surgery and everything :(

:(

Sorry to hear about your friend Blunther.Seville's terrible at the moment....it's been the driest year since the early fifties.If I remember correctly, it has rained three times since last October.Normally it's a case of hanging around the house until nightfall then spending the night until five or six in the morning in the bars down by the river;the coolest(weather wise)place in the city.Down on the coast(an hour from here)there's always a breeze but nothing stirs in Seville.Temperatures having been hitting 43/44 but those official statistics are taken from the airport some kms from here....the city is hotter.

Just a word of warning, Craigie_Mann: the area directly between the hotel and the city centre is quite run down. Although the area at the top of the hill (where the hotel is) has been regenerated, the roads that lead down to the Bullring are bordered mainly by factories and warehouses. This means it gets very quiet at times - that's not to say it's a dangerous place to walk through, just a little eerie.
I'd suggest following the Digbeth high street (High Street Deritend (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=407750.323578142&Y=286250.951910256&width=700&height=400&gride=407811.323578142&gridn=286350.951910256&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=GB&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=1&scale=10000)), which is more lively because it's home to several pubs, so would probably be your choice of route anyway.

Stayed there in 1998 for the Lions International Convention, when then it was the Chamberlain Hotel. The hotel had been taken over by the Japanese Lions groups. There were so many visiting Lions delegates from all over the world that weekend in August '98, that the march-past from five ways to the city took over five hours. The room I had was a single, very clean and tiny, though quite small. Enjoy your stay.
