...and DragonForce..now I've seen em outdoors twice (one good, one shite), indoors @ Manchester Academy last December (http://sixtamesides.blogspot.com/2006/12/dragonforce-rock.html) - excellent - fingers crossed for an arena -type gig - cus it seems that sound IS an issue for DragonForce ....it worries me as a fan.
I then went to Dukes92 in poncyland (aka Castlefields) to see an old workmate on his annual birthday bash - he does it every year - I bob in for a couple of hours after work before the rest (single ?? no kids ??) arrive for the rest of the evening...for the hell of it, here's a 270 degree type "stitch" from the early evening - not brill - but I'm still not up to scratch with Photshop - and it was with baby camera anyway !! PS Dukes92 were selling "Pride of Pendle" from Moorhouses on the pump for "only" £2-70 !!
Had to leave at 1845 - as my presence was required further up Deansgate to meet Mrs Smiffy and Penny and Paul from Rochdale at "The Restaurant" on John Dalton Street. Fine meal (calves liver me - and "proper" Budvar - best on offer) and a good natter. Home - more beer...sleep.
Saturday entailed hair cut and an afternoon pub wander - Mrs Smiffy and daughter doing "last minute" stuff - read on. Evening was dinner party cause our Michelle was on her last day on earth (well Ingerland actually - read on) - so we had friends round for more beer and food. In bed just before midnight because ....
...up at 0530 on Sunday morning to drive our Michelle over to Warrington to catch her bus to Holland - a three day training course for her before off to South Brittany for a few months work in the EuroCamp/Keycamp area. I'm expecting fluent French on her return - unless she sneaks off to the ski resorts in November - I know she's planning a few days in Morocco "on the way home" (!!) but hey - she's a big girl now - the degree course has finished and we await the results (she's about "that far" off a first - fingers crossed after moderation etc - we ARE expecting a return on our investment). In the interests of fair play our Duncan is off to Lancaster this year to start a teaching degree - so the "money out" remains the same - just going into a different bank account !!!
But I digress - the early start on Sunday (Mrs Smiffy came too) led to a lazy Sunday morning/afternoon (watched "Prisoner of Azkhaban") before a gentle early evening walk up and down the canal - for leg-stretching purposes.
Please excuse house construction - but that's the way of Mossley at the moment - the town is being blitzed/spoiled/soiled by new developments - which will only lead to hell - trust me I will one day soon put together a decent thread (warts and all) showing you all in bloggerworld what is happening to Mossley - and it does NOT make pretty reading/writing/looking at...
A swift drink at the "Roaches Lock" ("Old Speckled Hen" for me) - followed by a wander back. I stayed up long enough to watch "Cabin Fever" with Duncan on the box (messy gory stuff - believe same director that has done "Hostel" recently !) before - weekend ends...
