They had fridges in the beer tent, all beverages were at an acceptable temperature

muirdo said:

Fantastic. Are you going to Manchester?

Number23 said:

Im going to Whitley Bay for a Jolly Boys Outing the week after the Madchester party.I cant really afford to go to the both of them.
If i come across a big sinking pile of cash any time soon then I will.

muirdo said:

You have to come to more parties man!!

Which one are you?

Your Village looks incredible. I wish I would've made it out to Ireland and Scotland when I was in England.
