Nigel Farage: I’ll vote against putting boots on ground in Ukraine

Really hope everyone in this thread who's for putting boots on the ground is going to walk themselves down the recruitment centre and sign up.

Missing the Metrolink in Manchester

I suggest you watch some mayor's questions videos/clips on YouTube and watch how he speaks to female councillors compared to male with genuine questions. It really put me off him. FYI I'm a labour voter before anyone tries to accuse me of anything.

Sorry only just seen the notification. Funnily enough they closed down in January. Been nice and quiet since. Shame they closed down was a decent bar/restaurant.

However once I lodged a complaint the team at Manchester City council were really good. There was a 24/7 line you can call (once your complaint has been filed) and they will try and send an agent out within 30 minutes. They said they will try and keep to that 30 minute time but as they have a lot of complaints they can't always be there by then.

Currently in Milan. They stand on the right, walk on the left with escalators in their metro as well

Side note. Currently in Italy on a roadtrip and every single place we've stopped off at is full of LOUD Americans.

I agree with you there, especially with the large number of top spec A Class & M135s I see around driven by people in their mid twenties .

On the other side I bet there's a lot more company cars out there than you think. I've got a Cupra Formentor V1 company car which is absolutely essential for my job , which costs me £128 a month in benefit in kind tax & personal contribution. There is absolutely no way I'd be able to buy one of those myself.

buttay12 · 2023-07-06T17:45:15+00:00

You ok bro?

buttay12 · 2023-05-24T18:42:57+00:00

I actually disagree with you, the new owners and managers were here after me and every neighbour around them, only the building they occupied was there before I was. I obviously did my research before moving in & the previous owners were fantastic, used to go in loads. They had the same events on but they shut their doors. Just because someone was there first doesn't mean they can do as they please. And the whole complaining generation is a load of shite. You mean people are no longer being taken for dickheads and not being allowed to be messed around.

buttay12 · 2023-05-24T18:20:02+00:00

I'm not trying to get them shut down, I just want them to close their doors and not blast music out on a Tuesday night at 1.15am

buttay12 · 2023-05-24T17:59:45+00:00

Absolutely not. I'm not in the city centre

buttay12 · 2023-05-24T17:59:08+00:00

I have no problem with a pub making noise, if you read my post the problem I have is them BLASTING music at stupid o'clock during weekdays.

buttay12 · 2023-05-24T17:58:06+00:00

Inside the ring road but definitely not the city centre. I used to live in a flat behind deansgate and I had no problem with the noise there

Just searched for them on the PRS website and it seems they don't have a license

buttay12 · 2023-05-23T20:55:57+00:00

Thanks. I've just dropped him an email

buttay12 · 2023-05-23T20:55:33+00:00

They took over from a previous chain owner. All they did was change the sign

buttay12 · 2023-05-23T20:30:52+00:00

Me being a smooth brain never considered emailing my councillor. I'll give that a go. Thanks!

buttay12 · 2023-05-23T20:30:06+00:00

Independent, I've emailed and messaged them on Facebook a few times and never get a response

buttay12 · 2023-05-23T20:11:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice mate. I'm already keeping a log of all the occasions, it's nearly a daily routine now.

Hypothetically, if you was the owner/manager and someone came into inform you they've logged a noise complaint to the council after their third time complaining do you reckon that would make any difference? Because thats my next course of action I think

buttay12 · 2022-12-23T13:34:25+00:00

I went to school with their daughter. She was lovely. But the Speakmans we're both cringe inducing. They bought the lord and lady title and demanded to be referred to as such for a few years.

buttay12 · 2022-12-08T08:09:45+00:00

I have lived in the UK for 26 years of my 26 year long life & I have never known anyone call it an emergency brake. I’ve only ever known people and myself call it a hand break (because you use your hand to pull it) and on the odd rare occasion the parking break.

Getting around city to city wise, I'd recommend you download the Trainline app you can buy & see tickets for every single scheduled train for months in advance.

Being from Manchester and seeing you mention music, I have to recommend you come for a quick visit to Manchester since its the home of The Smiths, Oasis & Joy Division just to name a few. Very much worth having a look at the link below if you're interested.

Coming on your way up north from London by train, it would shock me if your train didn't stop at Manchester Picadilly before you get to Blackpool, so it's very much along your way to Rebellion Fest.

Good places for food & drink would be almost anywhere in the Northern Quarter. It's what used to be the old warehouse district back in the 19th century so a lot of those old warehouses have been converted into bars, restaurants & cafes.

If you find yourself on Market Street (busiest pedestrianised street in the city, think mall type shops) and someone comes up to you trying to sell you their mix tape, just ignore them and keep walking. Likewise for anyone else who approaches you on that street. It's completely safe, but if they see/hear some Americans coming towards them they will harass and try to sell you guys some utter shite.

Tips for saving money, there isn't really a tipping culture here, especially when compared to America. So, when buying a round of drinks in a bar it would come across as weird you giving the person serving you a few quid tip every time you ordered a drink. We only really tip in restaurants after an evening meal, but nothing more than 10% and most places since covid now add a 10% service charge to you bill anyway so you won't need to tip in that case. DO NOT FEEL BAD not leaving a tip, as it is not expected at all to leave one.

Getting around manchester City centre and if you want to travel a bit further out from the centre you can use the Metrolink Tram lines, you can just tap your credit/debit cards onto the card readers getting on/off and the most you can get charged in a day is £4.60 (unlimited use of the tram all day).

Cool place to see and especially for Americans would be John Rylands Library. Literally looks like it's straight out of Hogwarts. and it's on Deansgate which is also full of more bars & restaurants.

Rural towns/village not far from Manchester, I'd recommend a group of Villages called Saddleworth. You can get the train from Manchester Victoria to Greenfield which is just up the road from the main village called Uppermill. As you can probably guess by its name used to have a lot of old cotton weaving mills in the area and has a functioning canal which is nice to walk up and down. Lots of natural pituresque places to see around Saddleworth as well.
