I'm disappointed it doesn't say 'heavy'. Petting could include innocent activities like taking your pets for a swim (anything up to an alligator would be fine, as alligators are presumably quite heavy).

Heh - we went swimming for the first time in over 20 years last week farmerbarleymow , and you can apparently now pet AND bomb, as they were not mentioned on the notices'heavy petting' isn't a phrase you hear these days.
Wonder if it is still used on those nagging posters in the baths?

A few seconds of fumbling before you both hit the water.

Anyone going to the World Black Pudding Throwing Championships this Sunday in Ramsbottom?
The World Black Pudding Throwing Championships is back!
I'll be heading there if the weather forecast holds.

Went to the anti-brexit demo today and it had a good turnout. "Bollocks to Brexit" was a common chant. Wasn't able to go to the anti-tory one that started in another part of town unfortunately. Police say 30k turnout which isn't bad.

He was full of shit as usual, and the place was full of lib-dems with their fucking stupid yellow balloons. It was good to hear people speaking on behalf of Gibraltar and EU nationals living in the UK though, along with British nationals living in Spain.
Anyway, you should have told me you'd be in Manc - could have went for a brew.

I found some old photos of Throbbing Angel a while back. Probably date back to when I did a charity abseil from the Maths Tower at Manchester Uni. PM me if you want me to send them - although I'll have to dig them out first...

The maths tower ... now THERE'S some memories
Must have been at least ten years back - possibly more. I've got a picture of me hanging off the roof - and looking like a twat.

It's something like that, seems longer ago .. according to wiki it was demolished in 2005 ...
Always remember walking past it as an undergrad. My most memorable time being told to clear the area as there was a possible leaper on the top
I dropped into Manchester Art Gallery yesterday, and found the solo show by Waqas Khan that they have on atm very enjoyable - check it out if you're in town. Waqas Khan | Manchester Art Gallery
Do it, it's glorious. The big video installation in the gallery next door is good too, but the Khan show is outstanding.
The standing collection in the Manchester gallery is always worth a look through too - they have some great pre-raphaelites, and the series of Valette paintings they have of Manchester in the fog are gorgeous.

Nice pics. Not sure when Manchester Piccadilly had character though. I suppose the previous version had a kind of Life on Mars claustrophobic 70s vibe.

Good stuff, glad you were treated well by our lot too! Although...
...MediaCity is very much in Salford, not Manchester. It is Greater Manchester, of course.

It's all good, man
I don't recall ever thinking of it as having much character. Unlike Central station, which was gorgeous, and had some of the nicest ironwork I've ever seen.
I worked on the transformation from what was Central Station to what became G-Mex. There were miles upon miles of tunnels under the station and spreading out around Manchester. A lot of the tunnels had been filled in but If I'm not mistaken, there were plans to use the tunnels as part of Manchester's planned subway system, which was abandoned in the mid-late 70s and never came to fruition. I don't know why it was never finished but I'll blame Thatcher.

Long shot: anyone know a child friendly pub in central Manchester showing the ManC vs Man U game this afternoon?

I think you might be right. Had no joy thus thus far

There has just been a crowd of football supporters pass in Ancoats fighting by the sound of, and given the smoke possibly letting off flares. Dickheads.
