Good to see you posting happily from back home, hope the trip went well and can't wait to hear how Manchester looks/feels these days! (I know, it's sad, but I still miss it sometimes) Have fun getting your 'feet wet' (literally
) Hope your breakfast was delicious, but I do think it's pretty mean of you to brag about it!!

Re: Leaving on a Jet Plane
I grew up near Manchester and have a niece there now ... so keen to hear the impressions! My last impression of Manchester was as a 15-year old seeing Deep Purple in concert, getting ripped in a pub, and missing the last train home ... sleeping behind a gas station after unsuccessfully hitching home ...
How long were you away for?

Great to see the old market pic, loved that market, wonder if they still have the street stalls?
Thanx for the memories DB, where the hell have you been lately?
