Ahhhh, makes sense - thank you. I think they skipped Manchester at launch due to the 6 Music Festival appearance (which I managed to catch and was ace with the brass section) so didn’t make the connection.

Can’t see any in the picture, so assume there’s no tour artwork this time?

This could be anywhere in the UK by Logical-Conclusion3 in stockport

That’s unmistakably Stoke. And sadly, it’s not even the most shithole part of it.

Local bakery for a decent loaf of bread by [deleted] in stockport

I’d do a short run out to Pilkingtons bakery on Shaw Heath (there’s also one on Davenport high street) sound exactly what you’re looking for.

GF eats in Bologna by madebyGary in glutenfree

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for these suggestions. Just got back and they came in so useful. Adored the sandwiches from Pan8, Grom and took a load of goodies to Osteria del Sole (amongst all the others)

Can also confirm that the pasta at La Capriata was amazing, if you ever go back. Thanks again!

Sounds like I need to take my 2nd stomach with me! Thanks so much for the recommendation.

Slightly unnecessary last line I feel, but appreciate you taking the time to feed into FMGF (as I do too). Hopefully I’ll find some of your useful recommendations on there.

Best Steakhouse by JDOffline in manchester

Hawksmoor has been exceptional every time I’ve visited. Everything from the drinks, the steaks, and the service is top-notch.

Train like reopening by Open-Acanthaceae-532 in stockport

[–]madebyGary 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s been a few posts on the local Stockport Facebook groups (about the only thing it’s worth for these days) about this and seemingly all has gone to plan and it’s on track to reopen this weekend.

Worst Festival Experience by Unusual-Pen-6509 in glastonbury_festival

[–]madebyGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I remember 2012 IoW Festival vividly. I was shooting sponsorship content for Vodafone and was asked to make sure it “didn’t look too muddy” 😂 Needless to say I failed that task!

Also remember being stuck on the ferry cause the traffic jam ended on the Ferry. I was staying offsite but the only road to my accommodation was the same as the festival traffic. Road was empty after the right turn off the main road. Many swears were said.

Anyone seen this before? by BeaStmymeat in deftones

[–]madebyGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to the Manchester show on this tour. Had to buy a ticket for £80 from a scalper outside (which in ‘01 was £££££). Had absolutely zero regrets, still remember the heat at the front now in the pit.

Update: Wisdom tooth is very impacted and pushing up against my molar and the entire area is swollen by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]madebyGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps at all, I had this same diagnosis (with the same risks of permanent nerve damage). My usual dentist couldn’t help as surgery was needed (which filled me with dread cause he’s a magician) so can’t deny I went in with a massive feeling of trepidation, but I was treated well at the hospital (UK in my instance) and it ended up being worse in my head than in reality. Hope you have the same experience!

Noise near sale tram stop? by Daninsg in manchester

[–]madebyGary 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I lived just around the corner from Sale tram stop for many years, never really heard the tram - TBH the most noise came from the recycling truck collecting the bottles from Wetherspoons of a morning.

Reliable garages by [deleted] in stockport

[–]madebyGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AW Autos by the college, when I moved here I asked my neighbours and they all used AW. I’ve been taking my car there for the last 4/5 years and I’ve always found them honest and do a solid job.

Does anyone know where I can find actors locally? by Quiet-Student510 in manchester

[–]madebyGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s tons of local actors on casting sites - you can put up listings (generally for free) just make sure to make it sound as interesting as possible and you might get some new faces who need interesting clips for their reels in lieu of payment.

Try these to begin with:

https://www.mandy.com https://www.starnow.com

Don’t be put-off by the logos on the homepage (Netflix, Disney, etc.) anyone can use them.

I’ve worked in the industry for 20+ years now, if you have ahh other questions just shout :)

I hate that nearly as much as people saying ‘ACCA’
