Chick's 21st birthday bash
We'll be drinking at The Angel Inn in Leeds, same as last year. It'll be good fun.
Please note that unless I've already said you can have crash space, I am already packing Fort Malchick to the rafters and can't offer you anything.

I can't guarantee I'll be there, it depends on where I'm living then.

Sign up anyway. Artificially inflated numbers are always oh so impressive.
Unless you're presenting them to a court, and you're Enron.
( Malchick sounds exciting, Wed 13 Feb 2008, 5:50, Reply)

I shall probably come, as I'll still be a teenager & I know you'll be hilariously over-emotional about getting old again.
Also, it'll be my general part of the world by then! YAY!

:) It wouldn't be a proper birthday bash without you and a certain amount of taunting.

I was lovely to you at your last birthday bash.

I was lovely to you too.
Even though you're rubbish.

It's true. I didn't enjoy most of your last bash, but you did make some of it better.
You still got my name wrong, though. Bastard.

This also, but substitute howden for huddersfield. However a piss-up with random b3tans is all I require to make my year a good one so if finances and work allows I may turn up. I'll be the guy in the corner wondering how the hell I got roped into it...

Also - what about the venue?
I've got several candidates.

1. The Scarbrough, Bishopsgate Street (LS1 5DY).
Pros: sells good beer, and is directly opposite the train station.
Cons: it gets completely packed out by Saturday lunctime. It will almost certainly be standing room only by 5pm.

2. The Victoria & Commercial, Great George Street (LS1 3DL).
Pros: generally not as crowded as the Scarbrough, and it's a nicer pub overall.
Cons: Can't think of any offhand.

3. The Angel, Angel Inn Yard (LS1 6LN).
Pros: Nice little Sam Smith's pub right in the city centre, and (because it's run by Sam Smith's) is unlikely to break the bank.
Cons: a bit small, might not be able to find a seat for everyone.

4. Mr. Foley's, The Headrow (LS1 5RG).
Pros: Lots of beers, great atmosphere, friendly staff, very easy to get to.
Cons: Not quite as small as the Angel, but it does get crowded in peak times.

5. The Cross Keys, Water Lane (LS11 5WD).
Pros: Really nice pub, loads and loads of beers for sale, friendly staff.
Cons: A bit on the pricey side, and it's notoriously easy to miss despite being only 5 minutes on foot from the station.

Apart from Mr. Foley's, all of these venues have been host to OMGBASHES in the past.

it was nice and big and they did food.
