My Opera is closing 3rd of March

Fat Guy Follies

The Adventures of Bryan and Friends

Girly Man-U

I had to drive to Manchester yesterday to pick up parts, and never having been to Manchester I decided to check out a bit of the city. My destination was very close to the Manchester Ship Canal and Old Trafford. I decided that since I was in the area, I would visit the footbal stadium where Manchester United play.

I do not hold allegiance to any Premiership teams, this was just a vist of interest. Steve is a fan, so I was planning on taking some pictures for him. As I walked towards the stadium, I could here music and singing, and I could see some Circus tents.


It turns out that the Bangkok Girly Boys had a show set up in the parking lot for the month of July. Hmmmm. Is this what Man U fans do in the off season?

Other than that revelation, the rest of my short trip to Manchester was uneventful. I toured the wharf, which appears to have been recently rejuvenated.

It reminded me a bit of Vancouver, with lots of people out running, walking and cycling along the paths. I chickened out and took the lower deck across the bridge.



Cheers
Glad for the Canucks Bryan

I work just near there. Which, as it happens, is also where the BBC are planned to move to in 2010. (the wharf area, also known as Salford Quays)

Interesting to see some people walking along the top of the bridge. I don't know how they got up there. Maybe something to try on my lunch today. bigsmile

A while later there were 5 other people up there, so I figured it was the correct way to cross the bridge. I'll say hi next time I stop round Manchester.
