Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

Thanks Oporto, but I do not like jellied eels, though Sapphy I am sure does. But I lurve Yorkshire puddings (Aunt Bessies).

With regards to Turbo's proposed meet at the M&S in parliament st--Well behind M&S is an open market and a cafe-- their speciality is GIANT YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS served with onion gravey--£1.50.

Sorry CEL,TUTTSI, PAWNBROKER and BILL_K---I can't find an outlet that sells jellied eels.

Wouldn't mind visiting that museum, actually.

Bit like claiming PPI then Sapphy---but face-to-facemsl:

That wedding still a possible on that weekend-or not?

Absolutely except this time I'm near enough to slap the buggers lol.
Nephew and his intended have now confirmed the date as 5th jan 2013, he's a copper in Hampshire and she's a trolley dolly on virgin and believe it or not that was the best date they could get, with the venue they want also.

All that needs doing now is organising a sitter for bailey and we are sorted, mind you hotel is dog friendly so if push comes to shove we could bring him.

Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

Ok I've booked.

We've been to York before and have done the Yorvik centre trip its well worth going to and so very interesting, we're not that bothered about going again though, so what we are planning on doing is arranging (hopefully) to meet our ex business partners for a spot of lunch and catchup/chew/thrash out a few things that have needed to be addressed for the last few years, god knows if they will agree to meet as there is a small matter of a few thousand quid owed to us (long story, don't ask).
Anyways looking forward to seeing you all there.
And yes Celestine I do still have my 'Off the leash and on the lash' T-Shirt msl:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We will then kick it about during the whole of February until we got an idea of people's preferences-----obviously we all ain't going to the same attractions-but there will be commonality amongst some


I see my job as to

• get the info to you with my helper Monz
  
• co-ordinate the feedback
• arrange the common meeting places and the times of common meeting places

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway---I got drenched in a torrential downpour at information centre ---Mo in M&S dry as a bone

(btw M&S ginormous with 4 large floors plus a further Home M&S opposite Jorvik Centre)

Soooooo--top floor M&S - everyone sympathetic to my soaking and we got talking to a couple who live near the walls

The say---Ghost Walks a rip-off ----reccommend the 9:15 evening boat cruise---floodlit with bar and music

I've crossed the pub attached to the Hilton off the list (J D Bean)---smelly,empty and layout not conducicive to socializing--

My Short list currently is

• Three Tuns-meals around £8:00-had Thai Curry today
• Yates Wine Bar (overlooking river)
• Wetherspoons (500 yds from Hilton-opposite Cel's hotel)
• Stonegate Yard-recc by the couple-not been in--any views Main Man?

Had a drink in Hilton--pint of Murphy's £3.70----125 ml chardonnay £7 or £30 a bottle !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pics attached of Visitors Guide and inside of Three Tuns

Never been to the Stonegate Yard one! but I know there are many nice bars/wine bars within Stonegate area. The Sweet/Chocolate Story is a new visitor attraction and due to open Spring this year, no firm date has been set for the opening as yet Chocolate: York's Sweet Story | Opens Spring 2012

Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

For future reference, when planning a meet location, can it be near an airport? I fly to Heathrow, Gatwick, Glasgow, Birmingham, Newcastle and Manchester.

Sorry, guv'nor, but I reckon you'll need to book a place on the charabanc to Leeds International Airstrip from Manchester or Newcastle. You WILL learn to love ferrets on the journey - just bring a clothespeg !!!

PS. I take it you have seen the Yorkshire Airlines ad, as posted by M. Leclerc recenty ?

Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

I have booked my accommodation Bootham Gardens looks very nice and very resonable for single occupancy and best still I could reserve the room and not pay he whole lot straight away

Ooooooh I'm getting excited now

Well, I'll be just down the road from you in the York Lodge........so I guess you'd better put me on the confirmed list of people going to this one..........ermmm, I need to say at the offset that I am unfortunately not going to be drinking a drop of alcohol that weekend cos I'm trying something called the GI Diet and that means that alcohol in phase 1 is out of the question so if anyone wants me to crash their car then I will be able to drive it(I'm coming on the train myself so that will be enjoyable!!!)
------------------------------- merged -------------------------------
And I'll be there from Friday 4th May so there had better be something worth doing that night otherwise I have the joys of Wi-Fi for the evening :o
