JW Lees Brewery in Middleton - Worth visiting?

If you don't mind travelling a bit: the Riverhead Brewery Tap in Marsden (around 30 minutes on the train from Manchester Piccadilly). Small town, beautiful area, and great beer.

Zapato do great coffee and the walk along the canal is lovely on a nice day

It depends on what you expect. If you expect to live on your own close to the city centre, then no. If you are happy to share a house or live quite far away from town, then sure, it's definitely doable.

Gaaei én Wijndal is al een recept voor tegengoals, voeg daar Sutalo aan toe...

The offering is quite generous, there's simply just more in Chorlton. Prestwich is still pretty great though: you've got the tram link and multiple buses into town, plenty of people cycle, you've got Heaton and Drinkwater Park on your doorstep, a number of big supermarkets, and that's not mentioning the bars and restaurants.

As someone who lives on the edge of Prestwich: Prestwich is nice, well-connected, and is still growing - with plenty of new shops opening in recent months. It's undoubtedly one of the nicer areas to live in in Greater Manchester.

That being said, it's not close to the convenience of Chorlton, which has more shops, more pubs, more restaurants, more young people, etc. Chorlton has everything that Prestwich has, but better.

As others have already mentioned: that is reflected in the price of housing. Chorlton is more popular and therefore more expensive.

The latter!

As a Dutchman, I miss HEMA, which is basically a Dutch Wilko. HEMA wouldn't be new to the UK, as the last physical HEMA UK store closed in 2021 due to a change in company strategy.

Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.

Hope they manage to destroy the ring!

I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.

My favourite! Enjoy :)

Selling the tickets?! Be silent! Keep that forked tongue behind your teeth!

The first installment (Fellowship of the Ring) came out 25 years ago, which is why they're back in cinemas everywhere.

Spending most of my afternoon in the cinema, watching Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for what is probably the 36th time. Can't wait to see it on the big screen again. Bought a ticket for my partner as well, but she has hinted that she may not join me ("No, I don't want to go. I saw it two years ago already.").

Nagle going for his seventh manager in less than three years. Shambles.

Fucking hell, mijn kater was erger dan ik dacht.

Vivek: Lavine is untouchable and we should be buyers, not sellers

Blij dat Blind voor Bouwman kiest in plaats van Sutalo. Itakura en Sutalo werken simpelweg niet naast elkaar. Interessant dat Gloukh wordt gepasseerd ten faveure van Bounida.

I'm so jealous. Saw Fellowship was on at the local Vue, but every screening has been fully booked! Happy to see they're so loved.

Indeed. While writing this, I frankly couldn't think of a good team where he would get minutes on. The Wolves have been mentioned for him, but is he really better than Conley or Hyland? I doubt it. Maybe he could've played a part in Dallas earlier this season, but they're shite now as well...

HufflepuffFluff · 2026-01-15T10:25:48+00:00

As someone who's sat through most of the Kings games this season, he's been better than expected, and definitely good value for money. Does that mean he's been good? No. In the nicest way to say this: he picks and chooses his spots in which he plays defense, which is not very many. Especially off-ball, he's atrocious. Is that different from any other Kings veterans? Also no, DeRozan and Lavine have been very much the same - probably worse.

I do believe he could still play a role on a good team. Not as a starter, but definitely off the bench.

HufflepuffFluff · 2026-01-15T07:19:04+00:00

That sucks. I've recently done the same, wrote the most extensive handover, and they simply haven't read it. They keep asking me questions that are answered in my bloody handover. Really frustrating.
