TACD posted:Sod shopping IMO, I’m sure you’ve seen shops before. Take the opportunity to hop on a train and go see the Peak District, a genuinely beautiful part of England that looks like it’s come out of some delightful illustrated postcard I've actually been around there before; my family is English ex-pat so it's not my first time. I don't know if I'd have time to do another rail journey. It is lovely though. NotJustANumber99 posted:but its a great story if you do and the hijinks and stuff and getting home to your family and presenting them with a piece of poo poo 2nd hand violin from the dodgy guy 10 miles from home Gonna end up playing The Devil Went Down to Georgia on a Stradivarius, just you wait Doctor_Fruitbat posted:If you're around the centre there's the Salford museum with a replica Victorian street in the basement, the art gallery right by the St Peters Square tram stop, Manchester Museum with a live vivarium if you like tiny frogs, and another art gallery just up the road from there. Noted, thanks!

ChickenDoodle posted:Popping in again to say thanks once more for the advice about my uncle's violin. I'm going to Manchester for three days next month to settle everything and hand-carry it home as it was indeed the cheaper option. OwlFancier’s recs were good (I’ve not read further if anyone else made any). Evening, just go northern quarter, you can’t really go wrong. Smithfield social does banging Korean chicken and Bundobust is an awesome veggie Indian street food and craft beer place. Museum of science and industry is really good (think they have a poo exhibition on) too. Whitworth Art Gallery too.

Paladinus posted:Is the purple-ish cross supposed to be woke? Is it gay? Muslim? Are the colours supposed to mean anything at all? I think I'd prefer the boring red but I am also an incredibly boring person, so I can understand where Starmer is coming from. i think nike are trying to pretend to say those things without actually saying those things,like some performative woke jujitsu where you kind of have to assume they say they care about minorities but not? of course they’re idiots thinking that they can bamboozle bigots by not explicitly stating it

I think I'd prefer the boring red but I am also an incredibly boring person, so I can understand where Starmer is coming from. It apparently references the training kit colours from the 1966 team. Literally trying to be more "patriotic" and these chump fucks are pissing themselves.

Oh they're putting ticks on them. I think that's cute. These craven fucks are acting like the hot cross bun was the sacred loving part of the crucifixion of Jesus? Bunch of fake loving Christians the lot of them.

There's a guy in work I sit next to who eats dry, untoasted hot crossed buns out of the packet this time of year every year. It's loving disturbing and I want no part of it.

It's not just trying to attract attention back, either, James Blunt really is like that. Even at the height of his brief popularity he was extremely proud that he'd set a speed record for entering Cockney rhyming slang.

James Blunt did a pretty good job stopping WW3 during the Balkan Wars. Maybe we should send him in again?

Being fair telling the US to gently caress off is what the genocide teams are doing this time, so dunno if his skill set applies.

Should have made hot nought buns. Then they could sell both in one package as a new Good Friday tradition. Whoever wins at noughts and crosses gets all the buns.
