Cracker

[brooklandsblue2.0]

I have a love film account and they now allow you to watch a load of films/TV shows online as part of your package.


I forgot how good cracker was, its also interesting to see Manchester in the early 90's and how much the city has changed!

Good call BB2.0. It's on ITV3 quite regularly I think and it is brilliant. Robbie Coltraine is superb but the writing is first class. Manchester is barely recognisable either which has to be a good thing!

people who moan about labour

they transformed the city and should be commended for it.

Why tout your filthy views on an unrelated thread. I suggest you make another thread thanking the IRA if you want to talk about Manchesters renaissance.....

Oh and for the record I'd do without a new John Lewis or River Island rather than see this country driven into record debts by Liebour (again)

so my views are wrong that they didn't invest a lot into the city?

the way you go on about manchester, you'd think you would be glad of the regeneration. but again your clueless rants are at best, abject.

Wrong it took an IRA bomb for the City to undergo a total revamp but I often wonder would we have the Manchester city centre we know today if it never happened? What I am asking is were there any plans to regenerate what was basically a shithole pre 1996 or was the transformation into a vibrant modern city centre only a result of the bomb.

Please define 'go on'?

If you mean seeing manchester as it is currently not how the council and marketing manchester WANT us to see the city then you're right....

regardless of what you think (even if there were no plans before) they stumped up a hell of a lot of money

do you think it would have been the same under a tory government?

'The plans were certainly accelerated by the bomb, but it wasn't the sole factor for change.

Improvements had already been made to the G-MEX, the MEN Arena, the area around Castlefield, The Bridgewater Hall, and the Great Northern warehouse on Deansgate.

And the city's Olympic bids in 1984 and 1990 were important catalysts for change.

By the time Manchester hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2002, it was a city ready to show the rest of the world how far it had come.'
