)The stories many of us remember from these days.Hurrah I’m here for this
I think you lived with my old flag mate - maybe she was a ringer
Raise a hand if you got frequently and embarrassingly lost in Affleck’s Palace!
Spent soooo many long, happily drunk nights in Jillys/Rockworld with my uni flatmates, I wasn’t particularly “goth”, just went with them once and it was such a nice vibe, everyone just seemed to want everyone to be having fun!
Also spent several ill-advised nights queuing to get into Loaf on Deansgate with my pretentious 2nd year flatmate who I think was doing a degree in trying to shag minor soap stars? (No shade, fair play etc but god she was annoying
I haven’t lived in Manchester for 15 years but I still miss it!
never seen someone get so excited & painfully desperate when around minor soap stars - I mean, she shagged the lad from HOLLYOAKS who had that 3 wheeler car, he’s from Stockport.I spent every Saturday morning in Afflecks - now my 15 year old daughter does the same.

It’s… it’s a… a what?
Absolute bleep of a man. Years of drunken/class A memories are now buried under a Tesco Express.It’s… it’s a… a what?
It's been that for years now. I used to work near there and refused to ever get lunch from there on principle! I'd walk a bit further and go to the Sainsburys by Oxford Rd station!It’s… it’s a… a what?
That reminds me of the 192 night bus home - an experience!!!!It's been that for years now. I used to work near there and refused to ever get lunch from there on principle! I'd walk a bit further and go to the Sainsburys by Oxford Rd station!
94/95 ish, I was 18/19 I used to go to Piccadilly 21's. Jesus, what an absolute tit hole that was! But I grew up in Bolton, and going to Manchester was a big thing. Compared to the places in Bolton it was amazing!
And then the night bus home. We used to call it the vomit bus
Edit: I've lived in south Manchester since 2006 when I met my now husband. I'm far too old and boring for town now. Only ever go for meals out.
The stab bus! Still going. Bless those drivers
I never used those but me and my mate once got a lift in a bin wagon from outside the palace theatre down to the curry mileDid anyone else use the illegal taxis, it was always black guys and we just use to flag them down and jump in,usually two guys in the front seat, we would tell them where we wanted to go and it would be a couple of quid,
just thinking about it now makes me wonder along with all the other shenanigans I got up to why I’m still alive
my sister went to uni there so we spent some ace weekends there and who remembers Brutus Gold’s Love Train mid week at Royales??? It was bleeping AMAZING
Chorlton is lovely! You’re v lucky x
