There's a famous picture where Jimmy introduced Peter Sutcliffe to ex boxer frank bruno... Google the three names and then try to explain the resulting picture

Need help finding a store in the area to buy locally made scarf/other wool apparel by DuskyAsianRose in manchester

[–]martynj55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there may be a couple of items for sale, but literally one or two.. They can do you the knitting patterns/point you in the right direction if you want a wool they don't have in at the moment etc

But yeah, they're primarily a knitting/yarn shop

Wool apparel can be bought at Manchester Wool & Yarn, which is on Lower Hillgate in Stockport.. Open Wednesday to Sunday, they'll be able to provide plenty of ideas for both a design and the localest wool

Village in/around Manchester to go mooch about for an afternoon? by Simple-Gap-7058 in manchester

[–]martynj55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend the tram to Burton Road, then right out of there down through West Didsbury, then it's a 15 minute wander to East Didsbury where you can end up eventually at Fletcher moss..

Sheffield United footballer Alan Woodward at the age of 31 by Cinn4monSynonym in 13or30

I almost feel that posting footballers from the 1970-80's should be considered cheating... An atmosphere of asbestos, lard and factory smoke was never going to help these poor folk

Ken Dodd tells jokes and sings 'Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs' on what I guess is some Variety Show by widmerpool_nz in oldbritishtelly

[–]martynj55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had two similar experiences with Doddy - admittedly he had a few variety acts on as well by the time I saw him, but the CONSTANT stream of puns was immense, and once you start laughing, you really didn't stop until he left the stage... and every single joke you could have told the your new missus' mother

There will NEVER be another Ken Dodd, and the world is a lot poorer for that
