Big shout going out to Mandy, elloh Mandy.

For my birthday I got a copy of Dave Haslam's 'Manchester, England'. Just one look at the cover is enough for me to reminisce about orange buses, rain, the Hacienda (where were you?), LuvDup, day-glo hearts, iD, The Face, The Battered Cod, Dry201, Eastern Bloc, Tuesday nights at the Academy, Car Wash, sticking bangers up cat's arses (that's not true), nicking tracksuits (also not true), summer pints on the grass outside, Rusholme curries, and the PSV club.
