No wonder you spent so much! It must have been 30 minutes from your hotel.
They do have hotels in Warrington you know, and it does have a lot of pubs!The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I did stay in Warrington when I first went down but I hated it. The place was an utter sh*t hole - the nicest pub I could find was Yates, which tells a story!
Now my beautiful swanky flat in the Hacienda...just up from 24 hours Sainsburies...accross thew road from City Road and Deansgate Locks....ah man, it was sweet sweet sweet!The pope is a tard.Comment

Oh yeah, those flats are selling at auction now for circa 120k. I might buy one if you are up for paying those exorbitant rents again?
PS that's a bit harsh on Warrington, the town centre was made over recently and there are some really nice suburbs with nice pubs and good restaurants.
I've never really thought Manchester has a good pub scene, much better for clubs however.Last edited by Bagpuss; 2 March 2009, 13:39.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

I've never hated a place as much as Warrington in my entire life. I still shudder now when I think of it. I hated every single thing about it. Even the people were horrible - they all had massive chips on their shoulders cause they weren't scousers and they weren't mancunians...they were a nothingness entity in the middle.

No, apart from the Northern quarter (which is recent), drinking in Manchester is pretty rubbish for a city, too many theme/trendy bars. Sheffield is much better for pubs, but then is rubbish for clubs.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

You have: -
all 3 at Oxford Road are super cool (a metaller one, and 2 others - forget what they're called)
City Road
Brittons Protectorate
Galvins (even the new version is lovely)
Nags Head
Sun Inn
The other one (Nags, Sun and another one in the next street along)
You have the 2 chop houses
The 3 boozers at Exchange square
And they are just off the top of my head.
Plus you have all of Deansgate Lock, which in the summer is lovely. And all the posh tottie places up the end of Deasgate.
And like you say, the Northern Quarter.
I dont much go in for the Printworks style boozers, but they are there for people who want them.
And plenty more in between!
The place rocks!The pope is a tard.Comment

The pubs on Oxford Road used to be better, I presume you mean the Thirsty Scholar and the Salisbury?
The others are much of a muchness
