right is all booked n confirmed we're traveling with r-bullocks on 28 seater coach at a cost of 1,100/28 = which is £39.30 each, however if we all put in £40 that puts us £20 over was thinkin this could be used for bribing/tipping the coach driver if he kicks up a fuss about drinkin on coach or sumthin??

er... is up to ppl whether we meet or jus use site? money has to be in 7 days before we travel, i say try n get it done before 1st march x

yeh every time i have been on a private coach to parties and stuff we have always given the driver a decent tip. sometimes they even let you smoke on the coach if they are nice. its just something you have to do like tipping in a restaurant.

i think we should meet up. it would be nice to meet a few of the people im travelling with. i work awkward hours but as long as i know before the friday the week before i can book it off.

jules can you find out what stereo there is on the coach?

also last thing.

just incase any of you live in south manchester - i run a night every other tuesday at abode bar in chorlton (opp morrisons), its on tomorrow night. we have guest djs from the mindset label (dub techno / dubstep ) and an open decks section and resident djs. its very bloc vibe not too genre specfic just electronic music. electronica, dubstep, techno, dub, etc.
just incase any of you fancy a mid week pint and some decent tunes.
its from 8 - 12, free in and £2 pints if you have an overdrawn bank statement.

Have created a facebook group for us lot:
http://tinyurl.com/blocweekend

It's invite only/admin approved (as we don't want other peeps bugging us now we're all booked and all) so make sure you mention your uncollected's party nick (ie misspottymouth for me) when you join so i know your booked in and not a randommer

As for money, i'm happy to meet up if we can organize a suitable time around all our hectic schedules

Sorry to butt into your thread but I just thought you might want to consider tipping your bus driver more than 20 notes between. Personally I would want to give more in that situation esp considering you might need stops on the way back due to people being fragile. If you were in a restaurent you would leave about 10% - no?

Not that it is any of my business!

Yeah, organise a pint at the end of the month. Thinking city centre? Maybe Sinclairs oyster bar or somewhere on oxford road?
