I'm heading to Manchester on Friday for Big Special at New Century Hall.
That will be followed over the next five months by further trips up to the Academy 2 (Bar Italia), twice to Aviva Studios (Big Thief & Agnes Obel) and also the fantastic Albert Hall (Aldous Harding).

New Century Hall , I know it well spent many a hour attending regional conferences and other cooperative group events. Over the years its hosted many concerts from Jimi Hendrix , Jerry Lee Lewis to The Hollies, The Kinks. Even then odd 80's acid house party, the space was also a very popular function space for weddings. I've not seen been in new Century house or the wider coop buildings since the big redevelopment got finished. Though I know detailed information about it as I was round and involved. In parts of it when the work was done on wider plan for the site.

I was due to buy a new phone at Argos today , but i had an email this morning from Motorola advising me that the same phone was £40 cheaper so i ordered it direct from Motorola and it should arrive in 2-3 days

Thats often the case IME with Amazon etc offers, its cheaper from the manufacturer and plainly as in this case Argos are simply adding their own mark up.

Missing Co-op card resolved. I had put mini one on a key ring and put the full size on in the pil of cards ib s drawer, and plainly forgot.

New puzzle, 1m steel rule has vanished. I did however find a long lost remote control whilst looking for it.

Yesterday I finally regained some measure of control over my bowels after a biopsy somewhere up in the exhaust pipes on Monday. I can testify that 4 days without pooing is not a comfortable experience. Also, I am now fairly sure that farts ferment. It's probably a good thing that I live alone.

I sympathise with you.
I was in a similar situation in 95, stuff going in but nothing coming out for a week. Five days before I managed to have a pee. Not enough to fill a sample container, but it was a start.
Then the effects of what I'd been given to make me "go" kicked in.

Turns out part of the reason Felixstowe was busy this morning was the earlier Valentines Day Dip - a replacement for the Ch****mas Day Dip that was cancelled due to the weather. I think it was colder today than back in December!

Currently watching the Bathurst 12 hour race - the first yellow flag came after just 15 minutes with a Ford Mustang vs Skippy incident on Conrod Straight - the fastest part of the circuit. The Ford can be rebuilt, but I don't think there was a large enough piece of Skippy left to put on the barbie.

Time to make the evening's hot chocolate.
