  1. Sales of tissues in Warrington go through the roof!
  2. Yes, but not in the format given....it was clearly unworkable, hence the NO. Manchester will get what every other city gets and not be singled out like it would've been. 78% NO says it all, it's not selfish as the majority didn't want it..........hurrah for common sense
  3. What's with the message at the bottom of your posts? This is my work, tell who you like, it's their problem.
  4. And you think tonight wouldn't have happened with the odd tram and extra bus here and there? The M60 was clear tonight you should have come on at Irlam and got off in Oldham, unless you had reason to go via Deansgate. How long would this journey take you on public transport, even with the improvements? Walk to the station, wait for a train, train to Manchester Oxford road, either walk to victoria, get a bus, or get a train from oxford road to piccadilly where you can get a tram across town, then on to another train. Just the train journeys according to the GMPTE planner would take 1hr 30 to 1hr 45, this does not include waiting at the station, walking to the station and getting home from Mumps. It would probably match you 3hr journey in the car, cost you more, be less comfortable and safe and this was on a night when a major motorway was shut for the afternoon.
  5. You seem a little adamant on this. Each person benifits or loses for personal reasons and they will vote yes or no based on that. I live in Worsley and we don't get any improvement other than an express bus! In fact the whole north west corner of Greater Manchester (I hate saying that!) has no inferstructure improvements planned. My wife works in Wythenshawe, it would be impossible for her to get to work without a car, it would involve driving to a local train station, getting a train to Manchester and then a bus to Wythenshawe, it's not practical. There are thousands of people with similar personal stories and that's why the answer to the big question will be 'NO'. 99% of people I have spoken to will vote no, look at the poll on this site, the evidence is stacking up. You have your reasons for voting YES and no doubt for you it's right, but not everone sees it that way, hence the vote. We don't have to jump at the first suggestion, it needs to be revised. In needs to be costed properly too, you just know it will run over budget and then what? clobber the motorist again? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

  7. Let me get this right, John Prescott beat Amir Khan, WOW!
  8. Oldham are nailbitingly awaiting the final of the ladies international between Legs waxing FC and Brushing furiously Athletic on sky, which pundits shockingly predict famine today. Although Mary had a shock period during half-time nothing dropped from the bottle because she held nothing inside. Uninterested in crowd lusting perverts exposé in seat, she hesitated, goldfish awkwardly wriggling beneath Nemo. Subconsciously longing mummy's fingers inside Pharoah's pyjamas, Mary jogged back towards Egypt via Edna's chippy, sweating rather profusely, fantasising about footballing pundits wearing filthy soiled sheepskin underwear. Mary reached Bethlehem, eventually riding side-saddle touching her halo with a jewelled inflated bottle of incense, Myrrh juice. However, Joseph chiselled away while his friend Jesus rode roughshod next to Lidds fitness video "Short gifted, Long crossing bastards"
  9. I thought it was in Bolton? and didn't Notts County beat West Ham 3-1 on that final day?
  10. Not been on TV since Hughes signed?? (conspiracy?) This game should be on in the light of Ernies passing
