Default Manchester newbie

Hi, newbie here.

I understand it is good manners to offer everyone a drink? So I am going to the bar if anybody wants anything?

I am based in Manchester and have a black K5. Bought it back in October as my first bike so have enjoyed wobbling around on the cold wet roads for a few months.

Looking forward to the summer and getting out on the bike a bit more.

Double vodka and coke coming up.

Shame about your bike. If it was the one in your pic she looked like a good'un.

I must confess I am not actually a manc, just a southerner who lives up here!

Don't drink the Holts. It is only for those partial to a map of the world on their nose.

An acquired taste. But once acquired it is quite nice. what part of Manc chester, please don't be another Salfordian. I hate Salford. The women from there are horrors. I should know I married one.

Large laphroaig for me please

now son you seem to have the right idea with the booze .mines a pint of vodka by the way, unfortunately we dont seem to have a immigration report from yourself, but we can arrange one for the standard 6 pints charge even if you are a bit late, this will cover you for the entire pennine massive as 4 pints will be for me and tim wilky and 4 halfs for the girlies like yc the wrong side of the hill

welcome to the org and the PM (paperwork depending)

Howdy!!

Thankfully I'm well north of passport control. DP I thought it was a pint on vodka and coke (with 1 shot of vodka)
