Manchester

Just got back from Manchester in time for Match Of The Day. Saw Robinho score his first hat-trick in English football, the first of many I hope, not a bad game today, could have won by 5 or 6! After re-watching the City game I've just flicked over to BBC2 and Oasis' Electric Proms gig is on the box. I used to have a near-obsession with Oasis as a kid.

They are also from Burnage, some of my close family live there; around the corner from Sifter's Record Shop (one of the greatest record shops in the world), the famous Chalky White's barbers with its incredible array of pornos, baseball caps and more than one Chris the barber. Pars Wood Shops along with my Gran's house have featured in numerous Oasis clips and maybe a video, although I can't think of which one.

And before I go - ** Some Blog News ** - I've got a few interesting posts in mind, starting to seriously think about some nice little features I want to write, got a lot to do, new job starts next week but before then I'm going to pull out the quill and pad, the pen and paper, the biro and beer-mat and start a new era of new blogs. Oh and more content a long the lines of items and such forth... You know the usual online gems that tickle my fancy and hopefully yours. Chiao.
