  1. Oh ffs that’ll be me disappearing down endless wormholes over the next few days 😀
  2. Teacher at school got to the final in 77(?) In an earlier round his specialist subject was light bulbs. Yes, light bulbs
  3. Similar. Sat in the sun at that Fell Foot place at the bottom end of Windermere one quiet sunny day. No idea what plane it was but by Christ it was low and loud. Mrs Manc looked like she’d shit her kecks as she was asleep. I saw it approaching from a distance and then it was over us and gone. How the fuckety do the pilots keep control of something going so fast?
  4. And me. Youngest has persuaded me to give the US version a go which I’ve never seen. Can’t say I’m expecting much
  5. Same happened to us about a month ago and I’m not allowed out to meet up with any of my team either
  6. I’ll give it a whirl next time I’m in town. Don’t mind Holts Bitter and I always quite liked the pub. Like Traf says too many proper pubs disappearing and that’s always been one of the better ones
  7. This Watch each episode then listen to the relevant podcast episode. They explain things which I won’t spoil for you. They also have a really good conversation at one point as to why they didnt have everyone speaking in faux Russian accents
  8. Depends whether you think Holts buying it is good 😂
  9. Yep one of the best live albums in my collection. My ex-boss was there the day they recorded that. He was terrified that balcony was genuinely moving Swan Cellar. Oh my
  10. No way. That’s proper Ted Rogers stuff
  11. Watched the first two episodes so far of Get Back Quite liked The Beatles. Never a massive fan. Bit meh and pleasant to the ear. Always thought of McCartney as a bit of a dick but nowt to be that bothered about Blimey!! The way that they develop the songs and the way that they messed around with various songs. I’ll happily withdraw any previous criticism I put on here of them. Absolute perfectionists
  12. They closed the scuttlers bit or just called the whole lot The Lower Turks Head when Joey Holts bought it
  13. Defensive line of hogs would be a good start and build from there 😀
  14. Yep agree. Watched Chernobyl twice so far and listened to the podcast each time If you listen before you’ll spoil it. They explain in detail the stuff that went on. Utterly fascinating
  15. Housing Units in Hollinwood near Oldham Fuck me. Their prices For an old man in a top hat to open the door for you as you walk in All I wanted was a two seater sofa, a TV stand and a coffee table for “my” room where I watch TV and don’t have to watch the shite that she watches. I could have cried when I handed my credit card over That said, compared to the shite that we’ve bought from IKEA, DFS, online in the past I’m consoling myself with the fact that it all does look massively better quality
  16. This is the sort of shit you need to be doing Various nights a week we (Mrs Manc actually) pick the grandkids up from school/nursery/playgroup/whatever and feeds/baths/ etc them. Their mother turned up the other night proud as punch announcing that she was going to make them their tea so that we (Mrs Manc obvs) didn’t have to bother Turkey fucking dinosaur volcano. Seen on Instagram and everyone was making it for their kids You need to get creative!!
  17. Yep he’s gone. Thought the blue moon on his FB page was a tribute to that bloke who died. Seemingly not….
