recently he discovered he had a step-sister (who his mother did keep) who (in turn) got herself preggers at a very early age - to none other than Beaky from Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich...

Reet I'll stick this in here.
I need to go to Manchester Friday lunchtime - corner of Oldham RD and Swan St/Great Ancoats St.
Is there anywhere nearby to park?
I'm not familiar with driving in Manchester so any help greatly appreciated. Ta.

There's a small pay & display on Cable Street just across the road about 100m northwest of there. Have a look on googlemaps. Only parked there once but it was reasonably priced rather than city price.Wandering Willy wrote:Reet I'll stick this in here.

GtE can't stay away - now he hasn't the excuse of watching Bolton there he has to find other reasons to visit. I reckon he's a closet Gooner at heart...

Re: General Chit Chat
I ally myself to the the fact that Arsenal have won as many trophys as Bolton recently and neither team has van Persie playing for them. So if they are the criteria you may have a point.Gooner Girl wrote:Standard of away play has gone up now Bolton aren't visiting each seasonHarry Genshaw wrote:Have you seen some of the attempts to play football in there?Bruce Rioja wrote:Serves you right for attempting to watch a band play in a football stadium.Gary the Enfield wrote:I bought three tickets to see Green Day at the Emirates recently.

And - Arsenal's best player actually learned his trade at our place, and our best player still plays at our place.

Re: General Chit Chat
Changing the subject for a bit:
I might be preaching to the converted, but have you come across Zinio? It's a magazine subscription service which allows the reading of magazines on or off-line. That's all well and good, but it involves paying the appropriate subscription fees.
However (information courtesy of my daughter who is a librarian) many libraries are associated with Zinio. Her library, of which I am now a member, is one of them. It's a brilliant concept. It's also free to library members! Libraries have for many years held magazines/periodicals for lending - this system not only does that but it allows you to download the publication and peruse it at your leisure (no seven day limitation, it's yours until you delete it).
I'm sure that Monty will be laughing up his sleeve, given his background and contacts, but to us mere mortals it is a gift from the gods. Of course the menu of available publications will depend on your local (or not) library. My daughter's library has currently some 147 items on its list. I await with bated breath for the day it subscribes to Nature.
