About 15 years ago, was temporarily living up there (Prestwich), had plenty of time on my hands so regularly used to go to nearby pubs early doors. Got chatting to him and his mates (we were stood outside waiting for The Red Lion to open), after an initial bit of banter about me being a South Mancunian ponce etc etc, found we had a lot in common, boozing, punk, pool and Man City. Became a regular thing (when he wasn't touring) for about 6 months, 'til I moved back to S Manchester. He's a fucking great bloke, but I think The Fall are shite.
Nice one
