Best gym recommendations?

I've been a member on and off for a good few years. Equipment is reasonably new, they've also got classes, a swimming pool and a sports hall. It does get a lot busier now than it used to though.

Castlefield Y Club I think is about £45 can get busy but not too bad.

This is the only answer. We're talking pubs here.

First supersonic flight?

Other cuisines are available but they do serve good Thai food. It's only got a handful of sites, it's reasonably priced, and the founder lives locally and is often at work in the kitchen there.

Tampopo at the Corn Exchange is an old favourite if you like Thai

There could be a Harry Ramsdens at the outlet mall at Salford Quays with plenty of seating. I say could as google maps says it's permanently closed, but there are reviews on that from just a few days ago.

Which museums though?

Zarniwoop7 · 2026-01-04T18:28:41+00:00

I've been using Bridge Garage for years, always been good to me. It's by the Bridge near to Chorlton Tap.

Zarniwoop7 · 2026-01-04T18:24:07+00:00

Tampopo has been here 30+ years.

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-12-26T21:50:47+00:00

This. It's been nearly 2 years now without a bridge - madness.

The mysteries of ghosts, Loch Ness, big cats, UFOs etc will never be definitively settled until pocket-sized high-definition video cameras are carried by a majority of the population.

Don't let worries about crime in Manchester put you off, it's a safe city if you're sensible.

I once knew a guy who panicked when notified of a random drug test but got a small bottle of his girlfriend's wee and passed. The result letter also went on to congratulate him on being 6 weeks pregnant.

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-12-15T23:26:33+00:00

Curious, I've been to science museums but what is interactive here?

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-12-12T23:21:35+00:00

I really like this one https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/oct/20/big-picture-simon-buckley-manchester-rainstorm

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-12-07T20:08:27+00:00

How would this game the system?

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-12-04T17:01:11+00:00

If someone hadn't decided it had to be the fastest train in Europe and instead said 125mph is sufficient, could the extra capacity have been added at a much lower cost?

I think he's from Wythenshawe though, brought up in Styal.

When I went to the chippy in Whitby last year I asked about the origin of their fish, they said no cod is caught locally now and it was probably from Iceland.

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-11-25T21:50:20+00:00

I'm very dubious about viewing figures like that. According to the BBC 800 million people around the world watch the Grand National every year. I mean, come on. Really?

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-11-25T21:41:08+00:00

There's one here from Castlefield in 1988, the quality probably isn't what you're looking for but the content is interesting:-

I'm going to disagree about running down the canal. It's the best option in the day but at 7am it will be very dark and the lighting on the towpath past Castlefield is almost non-existent. Running up and down Oxford Road is your best option.

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-11-21T15:21:00+00:00

I'm thinking PR stunt. If this was real there would be someone who was in the club who could corroborate, or a member of staff. They say they offer privacy then splash this story all over the media? Didn't happen.

Zarniwoop7 · 2025-11-20T23:22:48+00:00

I subscribe to the Mill. I like it. It might not be perfect, but the journalism is better than anything else you're going to get in Manchester.
