In Praise of Manchester - Centre Of My Universe!

McTag,

Your post made me laugh...it reminded me of me and my sister laughing over bizarre shopping lists. I once sent her to the shops for: A tin of anchovies, a 60watt lightbulb and a stapler (make of that recipe what you will).

But yours beats the lot: Banjo skin, drawing pins and a pair of shoes!

Has Mrs Mctag been to Lakeland yet? (if you can get in the carpark...loads of 'ladies who lunch' in 4 x 4's). I love it. Went the other day when Ruth came back from NY...bought some luxury clothespegs!

Mrs M would love it...it would have the most butch lesbian feminist drooling over their kitchen wares!

Smorgs you champion! Hope you had a great Christmas. I wish you all the best for 2005. Thanks for being a great buddy. Hope everything in Manchester is AOK.

Bloody hell, a newcomer. Welcome Ceara. Any friend of Sarah is a friend of us. If I may be so presumptious as to welcome you to her own thread, that is.

Everything in Manchester is fine; the weather today, and City won 3-1 yesterday.

Ahem,

I don't know who ceara is!

So I don't know if I'm their buddy!

ceara - who are you?

60 Minutes (on CBS) is running a story on Tim Howard, the American goalie playing that "other" football team in Manchester ... Manchester United.

Ticomaya...seeing as if your an honourary Mancunian, I am prepared to forgive your use of the U word on this thread!

Say sorry now...there's a good boy

Any further use of the U word, will be swiftly followed by a smacked botty! :wink:

Up quite early, smorgs, today. :wink:

(McTag will praise you re 'U'! )

Henceforth, should the need arise, I shall only refer to it as "that other team." :wink:

Tim Howard is a brilliant goalkeeper, though he has suffered a dip in form recently.

Unusually, he is suffering from a mild form of Touret's Syndrome, I learned somewhere. It doesn't seem to affect his playing ability, though.

Got up for a brew and to close the bedroom window...the lure of A2K is strong.........

And curiosity about ceara!

I've sent them a PM asking who they are...we'll see :wink:

Top of the morning to you smorgy! Got your pm. Would reply to it if I could but the system doesn't let me.

By the way what city was "our friends in the north" filmed about?

Welcome, ceara

I think it is Newcastle: http://www.tvtome.com/OurFriendsintheNorth/ seems to say so, as well.

Your a total legend Kitchen Pete. Thanks for that site. Christopher Eccleston is a fantastic actor. Daniel Casey looks deifferent in that site to midsomer murders.

I remember finding Gina McKee very sexy in OFITN as well.

ceara,

Please tell me who you are! No-one EVER calls me smorgy...you imply that you know me...from where?

Why am I your buddy?

Please reply on this thread (if you can't reply to a PM).

It's not fair to come on like you know me and then not say anything else.

Cheers!

smorgs.

Mystery admirers !!!

Ooooooooooooooh how exciting !

And maybe even from "australia".

I don't know anybody in Australia!
