Right - time to give out some punishment. My mate Hugh who is coming to Manchester joined the list and reckons you lot are all spotty adolescents - he wants to know when you all get dirty (I told him come along to the chat but he's shy). You'll have seen his weak efforts to leave but he's still on so far hahaha so time for some stick probably - Keith or Peter? He also quite usefully sent out this info re. Mancs if it's not too late, and it would be fun if Manchester residents or ex-pats could violently disagree with him: **********
Anyway - re. Manchester.
Pubs near Town Hall - loads, problem is quite a few are small. However some decent ones within 5 - 10 mins walk:
Atlas - trendy cafe bar - actually pretty good. Lots of room. Dukes 92 - newish pub in old building British Protection - gay pub but really nice
[ Ed: note the "but" - he's a fascist ]
Marble Arch - probably 10 - 15 mins away. But real ale heaven. Lass O Gowrie - brew their own but not very cozy. Mark and Lard frequent.
And for food I could suggest:
Loads of Chinese round the corner, plus one Thai (Chang Rai) Good Pizza Express Cafe Uno - Italian over the road. Average Upmarket Indian over the road, but not that expensive - cant't remember what its called but its good. Mash and Air - dead trendy in gay village. Fisting in the bogs. Food pretty good. Service shite.
[ Ed: ummm ]
Anyway I know loads of places, although whether we will be able to get in with 30 peolpe on a Saturday night after Christmas is debateable. Other possibility is to drive/taxi 2 miles to Rusholme, home of the asian cafe. There are literally dozens of cheap curry houses (and good) where you take your own wine, beer etc. Best place to get lots of peolpe fed.
********** So that's it. You might also meet BlueBoy, a welsh lawyer, a big-nosed english lecturer and a gay buddhist in Manchester with me - look out for the area cordonned off by the police. Oh and see you in #Sinister tonight, cos, let's face it, Wednesday isn't the meet up day, it's everyday. Honey ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
