Anybody in touch with him outside of BM? Hope he is ok?

Even before the Gallaghers, The Cult's Billy Duffy (Wythenshawe lad/Phoenix Rock club regular) was proudly flying our flag in stadiums across America, Japan and elsewhere .... still goes to games when home (regular seats, not corporate) often with his mate Johnny Marr ...

Greatest band in my world

^^^^^ This!

My favourite band ever, are clearly huge fans and it clearly shows in their whole back catalogue, I appreciate the love for them, and how they changed popular music forever. I respect them for that. But I just don't enjoy them. I know exactly why too. As a child between say three and ten, (1963...

R.I.P. Bobbie. A beauty.

I honestly don't get the buffet style restaurants. Food that really should be served fresh, all piled up under heat lamps, for not much less than a decent proper restaurant. Each to their own and all that ...

With your wealth, I expected you to fly into Manchester on a Lear ...

As overplayed as it became in recent years after that TV show, Journey's 'Don't Stop Beleilvin' for me. On it's release waaay back in 1981, Journey couldn't get arrested over here. But were well know to us Rock fans, and it was regularly played in The Phoenix (Oxford Rd) the line 'Some you win...

As said elsewhere, the fanzines were a lifeline back in pre internet days. A great source of information, and most importantly in the darkest days, humour to carry us through. As technology came in, many fell by the wayside, but KoTK continued to this day. Well done Dave, Sue and all involved...

Surely mods haven't deleted him? Has he done so?

Ian McNabb (Icicle Works) is a huge Beatles fan. I have to agree with his take on it today... ''Well nothing was going to make Now And Then great was it? A throwaway tossed off when John was changing nappies. George was right to down tools on it. Sounds like track 7 on a Julian Lennon album.''

Posted before ... It is kinda genuine German gluhwein I suppose. Aldi is German. ;-)

When lived in Manc, we would have a walk around them just to see them, but then spent our hard earned in the pubs, bars and restaurants that are there all year round, paying high rents, taxes and bills to help keep them afloat.

I know one rag, all Glory Glory Manu shite FB posts for years. A fellow Newton Heath lad, but typical as never ever went to games. I always tell him I've been to Old Toilet more than he has. All quiet for about two years now .... as you say, he claims the game has been killed by money. With...

Neville's comment on there, that manyoo SHOULD have the best stadium and training facilities in the country is all that is wrong with that club and it's followers. Perceived entitlement.

Nah, we stuck to the original time at the start of the shift. Even our gaffer Bob Maxwell wasn't that tight... :-)

Had one too and loved it .... though always puzzled me how his grandad would have used a Lancaster bomber. ;-)

Oh come on, there is simply too many superb and fantastic songs to pick just 'one' as the very best. I will concede however, that whichever it is, the sentence will end in .... 'by Cheap Trick' ;-)

As if people would do such things just for agendas ... ;-)
