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.

I'd try checking about ten years back in my e-mail records if I were a man of your calibre having booked to go and see Green Day :D

Standard of away play has gone up now Bolton aren't visiting each season ;)

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...

Not from Green Day, but they probably wouldn't be entirely out of place ;)

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.

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

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.
