We'll be arriveing in London the 15th of this month, we comming to Manchester the 21st. Anyone willing to show us around, show us a good time on the town? Or wanna just meet for lunch or tea, connect a face to a name? Who's interested?

Some of us may be willing to risk our lives again, depending how well we know you. :p

Me, I'm moving down to Staffordshire next weekend, but will be back up here for the 20th, and maybe the 21st. Depends.

Yeah, I start at ABB on the 12th. But I'll be moving stuff down in bits and pieces over the weekends for the whole month. There's no furniture there at all.

You've picked a good time to go to Manchester - smack in the middle of Freshers week at the Uni. Cheap drinks all round!

I can strongly recommend Joshua Brooks (http://www.joshuabrooks.co.uk/) (website is out of date, it has reverted to the original name and is no longer called Sofa, but the bespoke furnishings are intact) and Scu Bar (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/48/486/Scubar/Manchester) (next to Aquatics Centre). Both are just off Oxford Street, running between the University of Manchester, MMU and UMIST campuses.

Oh God, don't remind me of Freshers week. I had to kill a chicken and sit in a dark room for 5 hours.

I'll be in Liverpool on the 21st, though I might be able to get to Manchester. (Though I might have no/little internet access from the 12th.)

I'd be willing to give you a quick tour of Manchester, as long as it doesn't clash with uni stuff (no I don't mean drinking ;))

That's cool, if you don't feel comfortable meeting someone you don't really know, I understand. Any tips would be welcome.

Would be willing with pleasure, if we could arrange a contact.

Cool. Well see what we can do.

I live in Manchester but I have to work on those days. I'll tell you anything you like about it though! Ive lived here all my life so Ive picked most things up...

As I've said, any tips are appreciated. My friend told me you guys have an awesome punk, and music in general, scene up there, I'd be interested in knowing about that, or anything else you can pass on.

Nice :)

Cool.

My friend has all the info, I can talk to her, and then start hashing out details for those interested.

Where you from? Me and my friend are going for about 2 months, we're going to England, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, Constantinople, France, and Ireland.

Australia. I'd love to visit more places, but it's the other side of the world, and there's only so much I can afford.

Aye, money has been the limiting factor throughout the planning :( We plan to live very cheeply, anyway.

Like I said, my friend from London told me that Manchester has a great punk/music scene, I'd like to know about that. Also, any historic or cool sights/things to do around the city. Fun places to go/see/things to do, whatever advice you'd like to give would be appreciated :)
