I just wish they'd stop digging up/knocking down bits of Nottingham to put more tram lines and bridges in. Unless they knock down Radford and replace it all with tramlines, then I'm fine with it.

Ex-Notts goon. The trams are like the only good part of Notts, I wish they'd be more proactive about new tram lines in Manchester.

They are being proactive, it just takes a thousand years to get anything done when workmen physically have to consume so many brews each day to survive.

Besides, I'm not personally in any rush for more opportunities to pay five quid to stand in the pissing rain at a platform for an hour, only to have a swarm of yellow jacketed cunts treat my overpriced bit of heat pressed plastic like it's a master forgery and that I've just pissed on their nana's face in the time it's taken for me to go the three stops I could have walked between already.

TfGM hatred is probably the most united thing about this city regardless of what it says on that big metal bowl in Trafford.

The Sam smiths pubs are still decent value in London, relatively, long as you find one of the better ones that cleans its pipes properly. The days of £2.40 pints are longongone though.

Anyone in the pool can help me with more good pubs actually? The Fly in The Loaf and Ship and Mitre are amazing so far, but the more the merrier.

go to rigbys on dale st, the vernon and cross keys are both alright round that way as well

My hatred for Northern Rail far outstrips any of it. Oh what I wouldn't give for a tram line that goes through near where I live. Having to rely on Northern Rail is like having to rely on a three legged dobermann to ride into town on.

I like the completed tram lines just fine. It's the current works making GBS threads the place up that are annoying as gently caress. Then again it'd probably have been finished years ago if people in Beeston and Chilwell hadn't been loving nimbys about it.

That place sounds like a shithole, a cursory Google suggests they were fined in 2012 too for being dirty bastards.

Also, Sheffield and South Yorkshire suck. West > North > Scumberside > South.

Can confirm it was closed, was in the local paper. Apparently someone found a mouse in their meal!
They've been investigated over years for poor hygiene, I'm surprised it wasn't closed earlier to be fair.

Not that anyone would ever go there any earlier than 4am and having consumed less than half a liter of spirits.

Really? Hull better than Sheffield? North Yorkshire should also be lower than South Yorkshire purely for the fact it contains Scabborough.

My halls were right next to it and I felt lazy once so I went when I was sober, made the mistake of asking for cheesy chips and the cheese was brought out in an industrial bucket which the dude digged into with two hairy ungloved hands up to his wrists. Still ate it.

Further more, anyone notice how the Red Dwarf crew spun off into similar roles? Lister is still a waster on Corrie, Kryten ended up building robots on Scrap Heap whilst Barrie did the jokes on Brittas Empire and some engineering thing. Then... The Cat ended up in Hollywood glitz...

Bad is not a barrier to winning eurovision. Stick a bit of eurodance in there, add a key change, chuck a pretty woman in front, win.

Or, y'know, dress up as monsters and do hard rock/heavy metal (we'd never have the balls to do this)
