and what has it left us with . . . about 8″ of snow and an almighty hangover that’s what !
I can honestly say in the 12 years I’ve been living in Manchester I’ve never seen snow like it, this is what I’d call Yorkshire snow, the sort of snow that used to cut Market Weighton off from the outside world for days at a time.
So how did Manchester cope with the snow ?, not very well to be honest, in the 3 days since it fell I’ve not see one road gritter out and about, seen plenty of people struggling to get into work, myself included, but no gritters to help us on our way.
Where are all the gritters ? if you spot a gritter please let me know as I’m beginning to think there imaginary creatures.
Apart from the snow then, what else has been happening in and about Manchester, well there was Electrik Bars NYE party
Which I must say was a resounding night and only £5 to get into, cheap at 1/2 the price, I arrived there around 10:30pm and immediately got into the spirit of things or at least the spirit got into me, about 1/2 bottle of vodka and redbull to be trueful, along with a couple of Sambucas and some Vedett, which all went along to making me dance like a mad fucker.
Mel was going to join me after she’d had a meal with her sister and dad at Chez Nou in Sale, but sadly never made it due to her own spirits inbided NYE, but luckily I had managed to sort myself out some good company for the remainder of the evening in the shape of Sean and Lauren, 2 twitters I know and follow.
Electriks eventually kicked everyone out around 3-4:00am and I decided I’d best venture home and see where Mel had got to, though on the way stopped off at Bernies annual NYE Party which was in the middle of winding down by the look of it when I got there, did the usual hello’s and caught up with a few people while I was there, but to be honest I was starting to lag by this point and decided I’d best get home to my 2 favourite ladies Mel & Blue.
After flagging down a black cab and persuading him I was’nt going to be sick all over his cab or mug him I eventually got home to find both ladies snuggled up on the bed with the quilt, Blue woke up as I walked up the stairs which in turn woke Mel up, then spent about 1hr discussing our nights adventures and wishing ourselves a happy anniversary (10 years ago on NYE me and Mel started going seeing each other) and then just both sort of drifted off to sleep.
So that was my NYE 2010, hope yours was a good one
