Gibberings CLXXXIX - Squirrel Nut Zippers, the Albert Hall and going cookerless

[F.U.B.A.R.]

Dunno mate, never really knew Manchester that well, just visited mates in squats in Hulme and Mosside. Mosside was where we went for smack in the 80s. All the black dudes would be lined up outside the shopping precinct.. You pull up in the car, wind your window down an inch and wait for the avalanch of bags to be thrust at you. Some really nice gear was to be had...

I believe so. But please - two words: Moss Side.

Most people from outside the city do that, so nowt personal. Pet hate, like.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Wasn't always Moss side that was meant to be as you describe MDB?

OOPS edit---tired didn't read further hmmmm

Yeah Moss Side had one of the most notorious reputations. If anything still goes on there now, its much better hidden, doesnt make the news, there are no more gang related shootings.

Its come to me, the name is Partington i think, iirc. Never been there, might have a gander one of these days.

My friend was a gangster years ago in Moss side. I wont reveal her name cause thats not right. But she collected katanas. I met her off the net in 2002 we went on holiday to Blackpool n she bought a proper katana for like £80.

She was gorgeous too, size 10, longer brown hair with highlights, really liked her a lot.

No massive knives they were. She collected them.

[F.U.B.A.R.]

Spent far too much time in Warrington for my own good...

 

[Kota]

Yah, crazy Japanese swords.

 

[warriorOnTheEdge]

No massive knives they were. She collected them.

Evey

You won't get a real Katana for £80 no matter bike or blade

 

[Eveleivibe]

Well she did

Evey

 

[F.U.B.A.R.]

Thought a 'blade was a bike? Oh fuck, this is getting stupid now - I'm amusing no one but myself.....

 

[warriorOnTheEdge]

Evey

I'll think you'll find it was a replica Eve, the real ones go for thousands

You're probably right i don't know much about the things. Just that she collected them. And had a fit as one of her exes got hold of one at home (while looking after kids or summit) n cut his finger to the bonr so had to go hospital.
