Went to see 'Aladdin' at the 'Opera House' in Manchester this evening. Borrowing 2 unsuspecting children for cover, we went to see a typical Panto. With bright and elaborate costumes, corny jokes that appeal to kids and adults it was an absolute scream. Best ...

... most days after riding in to school. It is easy to find a lot of bargains in the large supermarkets. ASDA is our friend and also 2 for 1 deals in local pubs. We have become fans of Indian food at the ‘Great Kathmandu’ just down the road. We are yet to venture into ‘The Curry Mile’ or what Geoff calls ‘Curry Vegas’.

Woke up this morning. Had that 'Red Letter Day' feeling. Steve obviously felt the same as we bumbled through the usual morning rituals, all the while thinking that today was not just another ordinary day.

Having said goodbye to my esteemed host of the past week I set to getting things ready to leave (and having a final idle surf on the internet). I had initially said I wanted to be out of the ...

Well, my little adventure begins here, in Stoke-on-Trent!

I found out about going to Denmark in September, and since then I've been planning how to get there. At first I look at getting the plane straight to Copenhagen, but that's a far too mediocre start. Instead, I'm travelling (with my Mum and Brother) via train on the following route -

1st Class train from Stoke-on-Trent to London
1 Night in a London Hostel
Eurostar to Cologne via Brussels
1 Night ...

Right, so we go back to England from USA and i went back to Airbus for a few months till we leave for our round the world trip again and manage to sell the house. That is done so have also arranged to get a pay off for leaving Airbus so helps with the travel budget. Its been ...

... br>But I must concede that among all those really really old trophies, the museum was ok and I learned some interressant things about the club, for my football culture anyway. After watching my mates spending fortunes on the club's megastore rubbishes, we went back into town to enjoy a few pints.

A really good place to enjoy early drinks (it was about 4pm) is definitively the Cavern Club. The Beatles made their first lunchtime appearance at ...

... away feast for my arrival. Sophie's parents were amazingly hospitable and ridiculously cool. Not only did they feed me, but her father refused to see me sitting at his table without a beer in front of me and wanted to hear nothing of me drinking my own beer that we'd just bought. We then had more fun than you could ever imagine playing board games with someone's parents before checking out the Rochdale nightlife. The word of the day was 'Chav.' Chavs are basically the ...

With a certain amount of reluctance, but knowing it was one step nearer to France, we headed to London... London looked rather beautiful in the sunshine. We stayed with Glen, Clive's brother, in his lovely, newly renovated apartment near Richmond and managed to squeeze in a lunch on the green and a ...
