I'll be the one in the Pogues T-shirt!

What size clothes do you take?

Maybe someone on here who's going to the gig can help you out should your luggage not arrive .

I think I saw you, were you wearing a kilt?

If it was, you were outside the door as I was going in.

Sorry I didn't make it to meet snyone. As Walshy will vouch I don't get on in big cities and I couldn't for the life of me find the Rain Bar and no one seemed to have heard of it. Also sorry I didn't make it back stage, I was on the guestlist but alas I was just too tired. Its all rock n roll

Wondered where the hell you were.

It took us a while to find the Rain Bar, fortunately I'd taken a note of the address and some of Mark WAFC's directions.

We didn't get to the Rain Bar either as we had to rethink our eating strategy! We'd been recommended a swanky pizza gaff called Croma but when we got there it was full and they wouldn't let anyone in! SO we ended up wandering around and finally got fed in the Slug & Lettuce (nice food incidentally). By time that was all done it was straight to the venue.

Did go to the aftershow thing though, which was great. Except for the bar which was crap... and expensive crap at that!

Top, top night. Shame didn't get to say hello to any fellow Medusans. Maybe next time.

Left the hotel at 5:15pm to go and get something to eat. Everywhere we went asked if we had already booked. Wandered around Manchester going in all these different places and they all said the same. Found a little cafe which was owned by a lad from Lebanon(one of the back streets) and he served us a brilliant meal for a family of four. Very filling Curry's,huge burger and chips, side salads, teas and soft drinks....£18. And I mean well fed and a personal friendly service as well.
