Beetham Blade meet up!

jrb · December 26th, 2005, 01:34 PM

Well?

A perfect opportunity for a meet up! We can watch the blade being lifted in to place and have a few drinks at the same time to celebrate!

Deansagte Locks or the pub right next to Beetham(can't remember what it's called) should do!

Accura4Matalan · December 26th, 2005, 02:19 PM

Sure, I'd be up for it.

ferge · December 26th, 2005, 03:37 PM

You're not old enough :P

Accura4Matalan · December 26th, 2005, 03:58 PM

Yeh well... I managed to fool the scouse bartenders at the Liverpool meet up

Manc Guy · December 26th, 2005, 03:59 PM

^

I would, just im an ultra cool person...And keep my skyscraper fascination behind closed doors...

If im offered a few pints before hand, maybe i'd consider it

inquisitor57 · December 26th, 2005, 04:35 PM

I would, just I'm horribly disfiguired and I wouldn't want to make you all feel uncomfortable...I'd prefer to just drown my sorrows alone.

Accura4Matalan · December 26th, 2005, 04:44 PM

^I'm sure nobody cares about that or thinks its funny. Everybody has got something about their body they're not happy about. I've got pointy ears

inquisitor57 · December 26th, 2005, 04:46 PM

Hmmmm. Some people find that very attractive you know, you should be proud.

I know its a bit late and I'm sorry, but I thought I'd say it anyway,

MERRY CHRISTMAS FORUMERS

Theres a pub across the road from deansgate station, on the other side of the road from the Atlas Bar, great view of Beetham and not too close to get a sore neck, been there many a time.

Whens the blade due up anyway? (forgive me if thats been mentioned on the main thread! - i`ve not looked there today yet!)

Surely the blade will be lifted up in many sections and constructed in-situ.At 18m high and the full width of the tower its would be too large to lift.

Ive seen the most good looking people be not at all happy with what they look like, and ugly people happy and consider themselves

Knott Bar (Marble group, good beers inside, great veranda for viewing Beetham).

Deansgate Station used to be called Knott Mill Station, for those who didn't know.

The pub is easily accessed from Deansgate Station/GMex Metrolink for those out of town. Can't miss it if you are on Deansgate to be honest.

You're 17 arnt you? Well... I know you're in the same college year as me so there cant be much in it

inquisitor57 · December 27th, 2005, 03:20 PM

They let anyone drink these days anyway, all you need to do is get someone who is 18 to buy your drink for you. Easy peasy!
