Free films are back!
The Spinningfields free films have returned. This week to start off was the story of Ian Curtis, the lead singer with the band Joy Division. Luckily for film-goers bored by such a depressing production, it seems he committed suicide aged only 23 and hence the film wasn’t excessively long. There are some more cheerful films to come over the year…

Manchester City Airport
There be planes in central Manchester! Albert Square hasn’t been made into a runway but instead there is a RAF display. A Spitfire (replica?), Eurofighter and a Chinook helicopter are there for people to peruse…

Christo exhibit in Warrington
It is almost as if I have my very own Christo exhibit on my driveway… I wonder what could be underneath?!
It can only mean that the Volvo is finally going into the garage to have its engine removed, rebuilt and refitted. It may take me some time to complete, and given British Leyland cars tend to disintegrate when in contact with water, a semi-permanent cover was needed. I’m estimating it’ll take 6 months… on-and-off for me to complete.

Crotty went potty with her grotty campaign
And so my letter box breathes a sign of relief that election day is over. The Lib Dem candidate for the local MP has during the last few months laid seige to my letter box with leaflets, letters and newspapers promoting her campaign appearing almost daily. Maybe she missed the whole point of “canvassing” and how it can after a while become “harrassment”.
So election day came, I was in a polling station all day and so didn’t look at the rubbish in the letter box until today. What did I miss? A leaflet from Ms Crotty exclaiming that “It’s time to do something different”. Indeed, she offered to arrange for someone to even drive the voters to the polling station and back.
True irony is when you compare her phrase “It’s time to do something different” with the text at the bottom right of the page. I’ll leave it to people to work out what actually happened on polling day in Warrington South!
