everywhere has it faults, but it's places like Hammersmith that are nothing BUT faults.

I've been to Liverpool a couple of times. It's a place you can only like if you're a scouser. It's nowhere near as bad as Manchester though...

As a certain Mancunian once said; 'It's not where you're from it's where you're at.' Easy for him to say as he was from Manchester :wink:

WAHAY!!!
didn't the pogues all knock round in that general area? I love Islington canal, walk along there it's a nice walk.

Filthy Mc Nasty's- I think Shane used to live there didn't here?

You can come here anytime Philip, make sure you come and visit me though! :lol:

Used to have this idea about hiring a bus and putting on a 'Transmetropolitan" tour... never came to anything, of course.

How about next December, firehazard?

**Tue Feb 14, 2006 12:10 pm**

With a bar on the bus, of course, Christine.

**Tue Feb 14, 2006 1:14 pm**

So who's going to drive the bus with the bar? Shane? We might get great comment on those sites!

I want a seat!

Not sure about the advisability of having Shane as driver, Christine... he can do the commentary, though, like on the tourist buses. And select places to stop for refreshment. :wink:

And of course you can have a seat, Walshy. We wouldn't go without you!

**Tue Feb 14, 2006 2:40 pm**

Oh I life refreshments!

What if and this is only a small IF there are no gigs next christmas?

**Tue Feb 14, 2006 2:56 pm**

Well, let's make it a summer trip... wouldn't have to worry about getting to the gig in time then. Unless we could have a summer gig too... :wink:

This idea gets better and better. :lol:

Life refreshments? LOL

I suppose they're my life too as well as like.

Shane used to have a flat above 'Stephenson's Stores' on Cromer Street, Kings Cross, London WC1. I went there once in 1985 with Joanne Ratcliffe and Julie Bedwell. It was a bit grim - but you soon get used to Shane's domestic arrangements.

Had a great time! There was a pub at the end of the street called The Duke of Wellington - Is it there now?
