But I am not pretending. I have applied for about 12 jobs this week alone.

 

[sojourner]

Am still working out a date with a mate in Hull for Jan, but put me down for anything so far

 

[friedaweed]

What about doing it when HMHB are playing the academy
I've got my tkts

 

[chriswill]

[johnnymarrsbars]

[friedaweed]

[Dillinger4]

Not got my tickets yet, but wouldn't be able to drink as I'd be driving. Can't get back to St Helens on public transport at a reasonable time unfortunately - last train's something like 10 o friggin clock

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

Provisionally the 30th then?

I've never seen hmhb before but heard very good things about them. saw they were playing so thought I'd go. Good coincidence this

I know! I've already done one sober HMHB gig - it's not something I wanna repeat!

Yeh - thought it was a bit crap tbh. One good song.

Ah, the Whitworth. Used to go there before every City game when we played in Moss Side. Would have been tempted to come up and say hello if City had been at home that day.

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

[friedaweed]

Will be there

 

[Fledgling]

Is this open to anyone or even still happening?

Is that the one across from Platt Fields?

If so I went in there on my first day in as student, up from London, and asked for a lager top in my best Cockernee accent. How was I to know it was City pub and Arsenal had spanked them that afternoon!
