"Copped off" Is that a mancunian expression? They have another one ...."fetching yourself off"......it makes me squirm when I hear it.

I first heard of that phrase in Liverpool, when I went for an interview at Liverpool University. There was a sign advertising a disco.

It said:

Student Union Disco
Tonight
8.30 - 12.00
COME AND COP OFF.

It quite tickled me.

I agree, 'fetching yourself off' sounds a bit... er... one handed.

I got all nostalgic when I saw that phrase...the copping off one, I mean... It is indeed a frequently used phrase back home. Never heard the other one though

Sandra, I don't know if you had to pay a deposit or anything based on numbers, but if you did, just tell me and I'll cough up.

JP.

Sorry to hear you can't make POL Curry JP.

Still there is always the Burns Night Porty and Dadaist are organinsing in the New Year

No they didn't ask for a deposit.

I heard rumours that Lizzie might be coming although I hope to confirm these later today.

Ed could you confirm if Lizzie is coming along? Or even Better, Lizzie can you confirm?

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 30 Nov 2005, 15:00

Numbers attending now stand at 21.

I can't no. Lizzie is at work on a Wednesday afternoon.

OK, I can. Text received from Lizzie. Lord knows how she knew there was a posting! She will NOT be attending as she is going to a Christmas do with another community website that she likes more

There's been a suggestion that we meet in the Foresters for a pre-meal drink instead of the Ass.
Would those who said they'd be up for a drink first be happy with that?

Ed · Post by Ed » 01 Dec 2005, 09:11

Does not bother me to be honest. Lounge or bar, left or right? What kind of time we talking? I am currently trying to decide whether to work later and come straight or go home and come back

I've never been in the Foresters before so just wherever will be quieter or easier to find folks. I shall go along for about 7.00pm.
I think Sandra, Bearcub, Poppy and Porty are up for a drink first too?

Any others?

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 01 Dec 2005, 15:02

I didn't think Poppy was going for curry due to an early morning start on Saturday - can you confirm Poppy?
