There were some occupy protesters in Finsbury Square, if they've not moved on you could hang out there.

Almost all the shops and restaurants are now behind the departure gates, so unless he can hang around there since he is flying out

Done an all dayer on Saturday. Got home at 12:30am and passed out. Woke up at 8 with no headache, shakes, or even a dry mouth.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Make sure you drink that before going through.
WHSmith's has an offer where they give you a free bottle of water when you buy a newspaper. I think it was the telegraph. Kind of handy for all Ryanair customers.
I learnt that lesson when my father ended up having to throw away an entire bottle of really decent whiskey on a return trip from Turkey.
I feel like re-heated shit today. Had a really late night and decided that I should make myself a 15" garlic bread with pepperoni and cheese at 4am. Used a full pack of pepperoni and a full pack of cheese. Feel really sick this morning.
On the plus side, I've got tickets to see Joan Baez in a couple of weeks, so that's nice.

Off work till next Tuesday, a trip to benidorm in a few days.
I really have found success in life and the posters of neogaf have seen me go from a dole fiend to a proud working man. I am glad to been a service. I am the template to success.

Actually looking at the cost of the express train (£20!!) I think airport (Stansted) might be the best/cheapest option. I get into London Victoria at 2155 so I'm probably best just going to Liverpool St and catching the night coach for £8.50, right?
He woke up with the hugest stomach ache.
Haha. At Uni my mate once got home at 4amish absolutely sloshed and thought eating two entire loaves of bread was a good idea.

Nothing worse. That feeling when you wake up, you have been digesting it all night so not slept properly, your mouth / teeth feel like they are coated in shit.
Also, wtf at portion control you mentalist! a whole block or one of those packs of slices?
Clean your teeth about 6 times, moutwash, floss etc... and drink about 2 litres of water.

I came home drunk at 5am on sunday morning and decided to cook a shitty tesco frozen pizza for myself. Covered the thing in salami and cream cheese cause it seemed like a good idea at the time. In my drunken state, it tasted amazing but I'm fairly sure I'm still digesting it today.
So proud. I get choked up just thinking about it.
Nah, I have the metabolism of an athlete. I've slid from 6-pack to 'just' a flat stomach over the last 5 years though and that's worrying.
Yup. Such a schoolboy error. I got up late too and now I'm just sitting in a puddle of pepperoni grease that all the showers in the world can't reach.
It was a whole pack of Cathedral City and 2 packs of Sainsburys 'Be A Fat Bastard' German Pepperoni. Oh god, I'm going to heave...
I can feel my insides struggling with the beast
oh fuck

Has anyone ever been to one of the Taste festivals? My friend is trying to get a group of us to go but I'm not too keen unless they have plenty of free samples. £25 and then paying for food on top seems ridiculous to me, think I was spoilt by the one that was on in Bruges when I was there. No entry fee, only had to pay for the tokens.

LOL. Guess I need to go to Manchester on a nice day sometime, it might look better.
Although it would be nice to have a few more focus cities in the UK.

Lol indeed. Give the fuckers more independence and watch them make a mess of it before they come begging for a bailout. Not that I'm against more independence but I do love the delusion on display.

You only need to look at Spinningfields to see where Manchester can sometimes do things right:
Open air cinema that also shows sports
Loads of great restaurants, bars and cafes
Huge office buildings, amazing apartments
Almost self contained area
Up market shops
Our council are still retards though, from the parking fee fiasco to inviting 300k Glaswegians into the city for a fucking football match (then fucking that up) they can't really be trusted to do much.
One note is that development has picked up in the city again, more "Beetham" style towers going up (the one near Oxford Road is 3rd done) and St Peters Sq is being re-done, along with the area around Victoria.
GMP > London met though, the riots backed that up 100 fold.

That Rangers match was a fucking embarassment for Glasgow. Bunch of fucking hooligans.
And yeah 17 New Wakefield St is looking good:

Because that totally wouldn't have happened with London within the last 5 years. An independent London would be like Zimbabwe by now if the entire country didn't bail out the banks.
I know that you're defending London (fair enough), but you shouldn't so vehemently defend the political and economic structure of this country. The current set up benefits no one, not even Londoners. Having one square mile in the centre of the fabled City run the entire show is not a good thing at all. Bring on the localism bil.

Ugh, don't remind me. Horrible horrible idea.
should have posted what your Glasweigen cousins did to Manchester instead:
just messing, Scotland is lovely, especially Edinburgh
Yeah the Green Qtr is still unfinished. Essentially if not for the 2008 crash Manchester would be in far better shape as a city already, they lost 4 years due to lack of funding and developers going under.
Nice to see it back on track, needs more 24 hour stuff in the city centre so it doesn't belong to pissheads at the weekend. One thing I will say for London, the centre is much nicer at night, mainly as they have more than just bars/pubs/clubs/eateries open past 8pm.
Edit: I was in town that day, my office was just off Albert Sq, it was a fucking travesty, they were pissing in the street by 11am, the police were outnumbered and walking home through that lot was not fun at all. Nice of Manchester Council to allow the residents who pay their taxes to be intimidated by thugs as they leave their offices.
I don't blame the scum, they can't help being bottomfeeders...they were invited and told big screens would be on for them, why not do it out at Old Trafford or Salford Quays?

Yep!
If there's one thing that I'm glad this government has realised it's that Downing St can't run Manchester for anything. Devolving more power to the city saves central government money and leaves us in charge of our own destiny, with a city-elected mayor in charge.
I hope that the mayor isn't elected based on political party though because it'll be the Labour candidate every year.
Yeah Manchester got hit HARD by the 2008 crash, especially the banking sector that the city was growing.
Plus we were going to have a new biggest tower, but the crash killed it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccadilly_Tower
Still, it's my car park of choice for when I drive into Manc! £3.50 for 10 hours, can't say fairer than that!

I always park on the print works even though it's about £8000 an hour.
By the way, best car park in England is Liverpool one, it's posher than my house!
the difference is that there's no US-GAF megathread
