@fesshole I said I liked cheese and jam sandwiches on a form questioned ‘tell me something about yourself’
It got me onto a game show 😂. I won £6000 😂
Yay for cheese and jam

@MENnewsdesk is this the same person as the van driver who ran off after hitting the girl on Mosley street?!? The name and ages match? Another hit and run? Seriously wtf?

@skylinermcr @WalkRideGM Basically I’d been driving the wrong way down it for weeks until I realised. So had everyone else. I probably still would if my dog hadn’t been taking his sweet time that day.

[louise benson @Lbenson88]

@skylinermcr @WalkRideGM Had a whole conversation in the pub with others in the estate about it, asking if they knew it had swapped to one way. Nadda. Pretty sure there wasn’t any letters sent out either. We usually get a heads up to changes. 🤷‍♀️

Snow glorious snow! #ManchesterCityCentre #northernquarter

[louise benson @Lbenson88]

@skylinermcr This may help, we needed to arrange access for the estate car park. Used the details from this.

The enigma of the city centre-

Addicts & illegally parked 4x4’s cohabiting the space space.

Pretty standard Manchester

@guided_by_hope @PicturesFoIder I had to spend the rest of the evening dinner fielding press who wanted interviews with the couple.

[louise benson @Lbenson88]

@guided_by_hope @PicturesFoIder I used to work events, a wedding I was running sent an invitation to buck palace when they found out the queen was due in the venue the same day. She actually joined & had pictures w bride & groom, did drop in to the wedding as a ‘sorry I’m getting in the way of your big day’

Dog goes in, birds come out.

@skylinermcr Also William Fairburn Way has had so many issues this year for drug use and anti social behaviour.

It’s not like this building is the only one trying to do something to make it less attractive as a spot to sit and take drugs.

[louise benson @Lbenson88]

@skylinermcr Yeah but given 2 homeless people have died in that spot over the last 3 years it’s not really surprising.

It just moves it to the Yard and Coop alcove opposite instead, so in the long term sod all change.

But not sure I can really blame the owners for not wanting another body

[louise benson @Lbenson88]

And there she goes. Is this the air ambulance helicopter?

[louise benson @Lbenson88]

Why did a helicopter just land in the middle of the NQ?

That Mcr Party Bike needs to get dumped in the canal.
Fuuuuuuck me it’s annoying.
@ManCityCouncil how did it get a license??

"It's a shame that the rest of the media has to almost follow the trawler like seagulls, an agenda set by the biggest beasts in the jungle."

After Gary Lineker was criticised for saying that the government's language around migration is similar to the language used in 1930s Germany, James O'Brien addresses the reasons behind the backlash.

[louise benson @Lbenson88]

Little bit more emotionally affected by this than I should be. 🥹

[louise benson @Lbenson88]

@skylinermcr Sorry, I really don’t mean to be so negative about it, but when they pitched it to us they were super dismissive about every question we raised (frankly mansplaining) & didn’t want to be involved past selling the signs. After the sale, that was them done.
