Random Thoughts

[Sean]

Had a look and couldn't see anything similar, this thread's basically for random views and thoughts that don't warrant a new thread creation but need to be said.

I'll start by saying everything on here looks top, need some time to digest it all though!

Don't know if it's just our local shop but I'm sick of all those clubs/teams collecting money by 'packing' bags in morrisions.

They make things so much slower and block off all the shop.

Can't they think of anything to raise money, every week there's a different collection, no worthy causes that you expect to do this, just lazy ass kids!

I might ask to do an S&C collection, get everyone from the forum to pack bags

[Sean]

haha, know what you mean. don't really get it where i am though, occasionally just the scouts etc but i can see what you mean. was it just me or did anybody else have trick or treaters coming round yesterday? really didn't get it

[spiralxstatic]

yeah I saw abit of that. Saturdays just a better night isnt it.

sounds abit iffy this, but sunny days are wicked in winter arent they?

[Sean]

yeah, because winter is freezing. it's awful for gigs, always got the dilemma of do i take a jacket for waiting on doors and be boiling inside or the other way around.

[spiralxstatic]

I usually dont wait on the doors cus Im not in until closer the time. Plus I'll have had a drink. Id say take a grotty jumper and lose it once you are in.

Just been to Manchester for the first time... I must say I was (secretly) impressed
There's definitely something about that place. I loved it.

[Sean]

I know how you feel, every time I get off the train I just get some feeling. Guess it's just coming in on it past the Hacienda building and look across the city, love it.

[Darren]

Never been out for the day in Manchester, had nights out there many years ago but always wanted to get a proper feel for the place, one day I'll drag myself up there from the boredom of Newark... yawn

Exactly! When you're in front of the old Hacienda you just start thinking of all those things that happened there and you don't quite realize that you are actually in that same place... And of course, listening to joy division, the smiths, stone roses, oasis, and even the courteeneres while passing by those streets where you know they all grew up, is just magical, at least when you're a music fan. You should definitely do that, Darren!

Manchester is a beautiful place, nice city vibe but not too full on and there is a lot of sporting and musical history looming around.

London is really nice too but only in small doses, just great to be near to places like Abbey Road, Carnaby Street & Camden Market etc

How can you be bored of Newark?

[Darren]

Yeah, I might go on a chav day out, drinks at the post office onto weatherspoons then down caesars & end it with a fight, sure that'll be a top night

The only pub that was any good was The Wheatsheaf but haven't been in there for a few years now but I've heard that it's not very busy any more...

We need a little venue for bands and that... no chavs allowed!

[spiralxstatic]

Im quite blessed in that I live in a relatively small area, but still got quite a few venues.

[Sean]

I guess I'm kind of lucky being right in between Liverpool and Manchester but there's still nothing to do where I actually live.
