I would like to meet people here from this forum. That's the main reason why I wanted to come, because it's such a big chance to see each other. But I have no idea where to meet and when. Before the movie? After the movie? Who will not be on this aftershow-party and have an interest for a drink in a pub? Shall we wear roses in the button hole because when we all wear our Jarvisknickers, they re hard to see. Any ideas? Oh please!!!!!!!!!!!!
So long as it's a white rose! My Yorkshire rose is in full flower at the moment, though whether the flowers would survive the trip from when I leave on Friday lunchtime is another matter.
I agree Maidmarian, I am looking forward to seeing people too, it depends a bit on everyone's schedules. I am intending to arrive some time Friday early evening, but am probably seeing family that evening, though I haven't confirmed a time with them yet, could be any time during the weekend. Do I remember right, you are coming in from Manchester? Cue "What's the only good thing to come out of Lancashire?" jokes (I believe Lancastrians have an entirely similar joke).
Yes for goodness sake Maidmarian, try to avoid wearing red roses in Yorkshire! ;) regarding something we can recognise each other by, I'm assuming most of us have a Pulp badge of some sort? Think I've got 6.
I don't have any badges. I could wear my Sheffield Sex City t-shirt. I think that may well be the only music merch I have ever bought.

Haha! Still the Rosewars??? Dear me! Did I tell you, that I parked on Richard III when I was in Leicester 1994? Can I come anyway? I have no Pulp badge. There aren't any in Germany. As Maidmarian I thought about a bow and an arrow. But what will the people say, who sit behind me?
Here's the rose.
Surely maidmarian is more Richard I? I can't believe they're even thinking about not re-burying Richard III in York Minster.

Let's not get into a political discussion here but I have no burning fire to see the remains of Richard III buried in York. A) he was born near Northampton (much closer to Leicester) and B) Surely he would be pretty horrified to be buried anywhere that is Protestant anyway!
Are we talking before the screening here? I will be in Town from about 15:00 hours 'cos I have to collect my ticket. It would be easy to meet in Barkers Pool, outside the City Hall by the War Memorial then walk down Division Street to the Washington or stay around Barkers Pool. Walking to the Washington we would pass the spot where Jarvis fell out of the window that fateful night.
Depending on the weather (we're coming in on the train) we should be in Sheff about the same time as you SAW, i think the nearer the better if the weather is going to be awful.
I'm planning on picking my ticket up early, they're on offer from 15:30, and I won't have time to go back home so I'll deffo be in town for the duration.
maidarian if you want to meet at Barkers Pool at 15:00 (there's a big war memorial in the centre that simply can't be missed) that's fine by me or you can wait until I've picked up my ticket. My name's Stephen by the way, makes it a bit easier
Hello Stephen, so I will wait there at the (rose?)war Memorial and ask every guy if his name is Stephen. That will be a good fun. By the way, my name is Marion and I'm blond.
I'll be spending the night in Sheffield so will probably hit The Washington at some point in the evening.
And probably do a Pulp-walk on Sunday afternoon because I've never done that before.
What sort of sights were you think of taking in? I'd like to see the childs toy horse ride that played such a ridiculously tragic tune but it looks like quite a trek to Forge Dam from the centre.

It's a WWI memorial and I don't think you'll miss me, I'm 6' 2" and have ginger hair!

You'd have to get the 120 bus to Fulwood then walk down the hill.
So, enough of these details. I just wanted to say, that The Log In doesn't work on my smartphone. So I can't post anything or read private messages from tomorrow afternoon. I hope, the appointments will all work (very old fashion - appointments), otherwise leave me a private message or ...
