What time is the first bus in the morning?

Just off to the bar for a beer, anyone want one

Bike now sorted, a Ribble full carbon road bike . Currently being built.

I ride a Specialized but got knocked off it, (hit and run, fractured pelvis) and it’s a little bent. The accident happened last October so I’m now looking for a new bike now I’m walking again. The reason I mentioned the Wilier is because a local bike shop have them available with a 105 group set. I’m well into my 60’s so not got many enjoyable years cycling left and the bike suited my budget. However, I’ve contacted the shop today to check stock and they expect me to give them a 10% deposit for them to ‘prepare’ the bike for me to view - they have to get it out of their warehouse, next door to the shop. I told them to shove it. To answer Bo’s question, the price of the bike with the 105 group set made it a value for money bike. Assuming the bike was OK, which is why I wanted to look at it.

Any cyclists amongst us? I’m thinking of buying a Wilier road bike, anyone any experience of the make?

I’ll have an inferiority complex on Saturday night ....... what should I wear, should I get on the floor and dance, oh my god I hope no one is watching me.

Winsford Soul

Yeah, I watched the Japan v Scotland game earlier, what a super game.

Thinking of going, never done one before. Anyone been to one? Are they any good?

This has been mentioned previously however ....... if anyone is over to Tenerife these 3 lads are worth a watch. Saw them at the Soul Lodge and other bars but they do more Motown at the Soul Lodge rather than ‘general’ soul elsewhere. If the couple from County Durham, we met in the Soul Lodge, are reading this if you ever come Wigan way give us a ring.

The 3 clips are well worth watching.

Once again it was a really good event and for a good cause. Although we visited most of the bars in and around the Printworks we did find ourselves in the Bierkeller Wigan Room quite often And just to add, it was also good to meet and chat to Paul Hayden, one of the dj’s in Eden.

Yeah, been there, down Jackson’s Row.

Thank for the suggestions

Night out next Saturday in Manchester, Print Works, Northern Quarter, Deansgate etc ie in the city centre. Are there any bars, pubs, clubs centrally located playing Northern/Motown? Looking at the events guide there’s ‘stuff’ happening around the outskirts and the Twisted Wheel on Sunday but looking for something Saturday night and central.
