And, can I have the same, please? But with different shaped pasta. What do you call those pasta in bows? Like a bow-tie, but miniature? Like an action man bow-tie."
Ooh, that's a snazzy bouquet. Oh, this smells of, I don't know, basil. Sometimes you just want to say, sod all this wine, just give me a pint of mineral water
"Do you know what this bathroom says to me? Aqua. Which is French for water. It's like being inside an enormous Fox's Glacier Mint. Which, again, to me is a bonus."
Got my fungal foot powder? Ah, it's a lifesaver, you know. I'd effectively be disabled if it weren't for these
Waitrose missed a trick here - all the posh BBC Execs will be creaming their jeans over Booths now on the Virgin Express back to Euston. North 1 South 0
Some good exhibitions. Someone ought to have taught this Lowry character how to draw something other than chimneys and stickmen
Free Entry. Excellent museum for all ages housed in a modern building with stunning architecture. Don't forget to check out the viewing platform. Good cafe
Building should've remained at its spiritual home in Preston. Terrible idea to stick in a city centre and waste Urbis on this. Disgrace.
Would not recommend watching a concert here. The sound and acoustics are always consistently awful beyond 50 meters from the stage
Absolutely love this venue for live music/gigs. Great gallery. Bring a hip flask as the bar prices are unjustifiable for the crap on offer
Solid gig venue. Great place to watch up and coming bands just before they go "stadium". Consistently average to good acoustics in unremarkable settings
This is where they put the smaller bands on. Can be wonderfully intimate - probably my favorite Academy venue. Red Stripe in cans a bonus
Seems to be the most "chatty" of the Academy venues. Quite a long room makes it difficult to judge best spot between the hardcore at the front and the scenesters chatting at the back.
Fantastic live music venue full of character with an excellent sound system- watched so many hear gigs here
Only one thing to say - Christmas Markets!!! Go midweek in December to avoid the ridiculous crowds
Great to lace to relax at lunchtime. Check out the screenfiekds cinema listings for upcoming events at: http://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Manchester/Screenfields/
Sift through used condoms and McDonalds wrappers to get to the oily sand. Why not ride an ill-kept donkey too and contribute to animal abuse?
