This weekend was the Manchester BBC Xmas Party which I helped organise. I had a great weekend. We managed to sell almost all of the 60 tickets.
The weekends events started off in Sweet Mandarin restaurant for a meal. We had a raffle and also secret Santa. We also had a few drinking games but unfortunately we did not have enough time for many other games.
Next up was Lucid – pretty much everyone went there so it must have been quite a sight all of us queueing up. Loads of us had queue-jumping tickets which was supposed to get us in quicker and give us a free drink. We got the free drinks vouchers (including a few extra 
) but we did not get in any quicker. Oh well. Had a few drinks and lots of dancing (if you can call it dancing!). Had a great time and took loads of photos. Unfortunately it closed at 2am when I think most people could have kept going for at least an hour more. It seems surprising that in a city like Manchester a massive club like Lucid closes at 2am on a Saturday night.
A few of us were hungry so headed to Kwok Man in Chinatown. Unfortunately there was a pretty big queue and we could not be bothered. I ended up just getting some chips on the way home. Got back home by about 3.30.
Went to football the next day at 11am – we could tell who did not go out the previous night and they won most of there games! I did somehow manage to score a couple goals but also tackle myself! I have a sore arm (back, leg,…) today. By now I was starving since I did not have breakfast so went for some dim-sim. A load of ppl from last night all met up. We then went for a drink, wandered around the Christmas and German market and then went to the cinema. Watched Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events – the lastest movie with Jim Carrey. A strange weird film but quite good. For dinner we went to Nandos went was delicious – I should of ordered more but only had a Chicken burger. After the meal we all headed home and to try and get some sleep.
Overall a really enjoyable weekend. It was great to meet all the ppl and hope to see you all soon.
