Manchester and North West 2018

[ChrisC2925]

Now then Mike as the self appointed N West poet we need an update on the 28 year old Red version of Blue Moon after today's performance:

Blue Moon
You started singing too soon
You thought you'd beat us 3 - 1
Now Howard Kendall has gone

You've got'til 10:30 tomorrow to prepare a new rendition for the assembled throng at the Lock Gate!

Hey Marc......just so I don't miss you at the bp garage.....what colour is your bike ?

[buzzbomb]

If all he's wearing is the red carnation I think you'll notice the blue glow before the colour of his bike..

Blue Moon
You started singing too soon
You thought you'd beat us 3 - 1
Now Howard Kendall has gone

.........I will muse over that challenge whilst quaffing another bottle of my fave beer.................... That's Peroni RED

[ChrisC2925]

Just polishing off a bottle of RED wine myself

chris........ Not just one verse....


Blue moon
Prize was won by scoring twice
But it was not to be
Because the Reds scored three.

Sky blue moon
You celebrated too soon
Thought you'd win at any price
Put that champagne on ice.

I thank you

Yes its red Mike, that's the bike not the carnation. If I can't find the FT I'll have to plump for the Penthouse from the top shelf of the Spar

Sorry to hear you're not so good Geoff, hope you can make it to the Lockgate m8. Look forward to seeing you

Ahhh....... There you are, just playing trivial pursuit, stuck on a question here mate......name of film starring Sean Connery as a Russian submarine captain......struggling here......

I went to my first Manchester City game in 1966.

Just so you know!

Ahhhhh Maine road, now that place had "character ".

Ok folks so the forecast is pretty consistent , overcast and dry with 6% chance of rain in the Chester/Tarporley /Ruthin area........so that's a 94% chance of remaining dry......I am going to take those odds

I will be at Starbucks ( Welsh road branch) 9:15 to 9:30..... Hopefully meeting Steve,annabel and Andy

BP garage on the A51 to meet up with Marc 9.50 to 10:10

On to the lockgate for 10:30.....leave for Ellesmere by noon

Conditions damp , bit of mist about as I write this, but drying.... Will switch to text/what's app now, see you very soon

Hi Mossley I went to my first game at Old Trafford in 1964 and used to go to Maine Road to watch Manchester Boys. Only went to see the Bitters once, the aforementioned 1990 comeback.

Nice reworking of a classic, Mike.

Good to see everyone today and clock up a few miles into North Wales.

Well folks what a great meet earlier today, I think we all needed that, Brilliant, what a fantastic effort, great to see everybody , the monsters on display kept us occupied until it was time to go with 5 of us continuing for a bimble to Ellesmere....... and more refreshments.



A brilliant turn out folks, thanks to one and all, and there were still a few who could not make it, this is shaping up to be a good year. With apologies to Geoff,( pristine merc ), and Andy ( yamaha)... here is the name check for the Monsters on display in no particular order:

Pete~M900
Annabell~M900
Rob~M695
Chris~M600
Mike~M821
Pezz~M1100s
Steve~S4R
Marc~M1200R
Mark~M1200R

Here are a few pics to mark the occasion, think I got everyone's bike in,

Is the breakfast worth £9.50?

A picture of an unsullied one might entice me
