This might help.Bombing home from Leeds where I work straight there. Anyone know if the Chester road is closed where the bingo hall is? Parking can be a bit shit from what I remember
Wish they were doing it Bank Holiday Monday like in 2011.wish I was going dont finish work till 6pm.
I work in Trafford Park but wont get near OT at that time and not battling though the traffic to get to Albert Square.
Haha, snap! I'm off work sick too, and although I feel much better now and could easily manage heading in to town for the parade, I'm afraid of being caught as well.Wish they were doing it Bank Holiday Monday like in 2011.
Much easier.
I can walk to OT from home but I'm off work sick and I reckon at least one manager from work will be there.
Would love to go but I just know I'd get caught!
Glad I'm not the only pussy here! Unfotunately, I don't feel better so I've got a double whammy!Haha, snap! I'm off work sick too, and although I feel much better now and could easily manage heading in to town for the parade, I'm afraid of being caught as well.
Apparently it is capacity controlled. Open from 15.30 and the club are advising to get there early. With an ear infection it is that bit that has put me off!Finishing work at lunch and heading to OT, not sure what time to get there though, don't really fancy standing around freezing and bored for hours before it starts.
'kinnel, so 2.5 hours standing around? Hmm, might head to town then, just sit outside the Slug n Lettuce opposite the town hall and knock back a few beers whilst waiting.Apparently it is capacity controlled.

I know, it is daft having it today. Plus the season hasn't actually finished!Trams will be rammed as well. BH was miles easier going to be a bit of a rush for me.
That was going to be my port of call today too but I'm starting to bottle it having rung in sick to work already. Knowing my luck, Sky Sports News would catch me on air guzzling a few bottles of cider and having a whale of time!'kinnel, so 2.5 hours standing around?

A friend of a friend got sacked from his job when Sky Sports zoomed in on him celebrating a Cardiff City goal in Hull when he had phoned in sick that day!
I knew a lad on long term sick who was interviewed by BBC arriving back from Moscow, he received his P45 not long after.It can happen.

Or a balaclava. Anyone who spots a dodgy-looking customer in the Slug and Lettuce later wearing a balaclava, that'll be me.Get a mask on yourself Nahealai
Thats brutal, but cant argue about being seen on TV while on the Sick.It can happen.

The document I have says it opens at 5.30pm.According to the club website it is capacity controlled at OT. Access from 15:30.
Can't make it that early so might have to sit it out
I thought that story was going to end with you getting caught, what a let down! You would have to be seriously unlucky to get caught out like that.Hee hee that takes me back in 1989 I was working in a food warehouse and a mate called me on a Wednesday morning to ask if I wanted to go to league cup game v spurs. I knew I'd never get the day off so pretended I had toothache so I could nip to the dentist. My mate picked me up and off we went.I was living in Wales at the time so it was a long trip. Anyway I spent the whole game wearing the biggest cap I owned in case a camera picked me out,got back in the early hours and spent the next day pretending I'd had a tooth out and told everyone I'd felt too rough to go back in.Oh and we lost 3 0 to a Lineker hat trick
I won't be able to get there today but to all going I hope you all have a cracking day.
Is there really a pub called the Slug N Lettuce? Brilliant.
Yeah, they're a national pub chain.Is there really a pub called the Slug N Lettuce? Brilliant.
Are there really people who dont know this??? My M&D discovered one last year, and nearly died laughing. They've been around for yearsIs there really a pub called the Slug N Lettuce? Brilliant.
I'm not from Manchester. When I go to the city centre it's for shopping or out to the Trafford Centre and we don't have any Slug N Lettuce here. Just thought it was a great name for a pub.Are there really people who dont know this??? My M&D discovered one last year, and nearly died laughing. They've been around for years
