I'm not bothered, just thought I'd better warn everyone not to rely on plastic

Cheers for that Granny W - having not been a local for 10 years now I don't get to hear these snippets

I still am & miss out on local stuff all the time!
We'll remind you daS.

"I'm not bothered, just thought I'd better warn everyone not to rely on plastic"

Are we talking credit cards or incontinence knickers here?

Think the incontinence knickers might be a good idea!

Speak for yourself chuck

I didn't mean for me, I meant the *older* members of the group. Wumbie's getting on a bit in his years, so he is...

OLDER????????????

I didn't mean you, Granny, you're not that old!

However, Wumbie on the other hand is....

Well, after a quick peek at Wumby's page, I've decided not to argue, but to give in gracefully

...and for those of us with certain, medical, complaints.

I still giggle when I remember Billy Connolly's routine about the incontinence pants

The bowling alley at Parrs Wood is right next to East Didsbury railway station, which is on the line from Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport... if that helps anyone coming in by train.

From the bowling alley, getting to Rusholme and the Curry Mile isn't a problem.

me[Andy]g, actually doing the posting himself this time round!

I am NOT old

...I'm #£@%^&* decrepit.

Now young me[Andy]g, is there a pensioner's discount at this new-fangled bowling thingy, and do they sell half pints of mild?

Aww, Wum is not old. He's just... er... mature. Like a pair of Kevin Keegan's footie boots or a very fine cheddar.



Actually, maybe 'mature' isn't a word that is generally associated with Wumbeevil. Unfortunately, due to BBC restrictions, I can't say what words /are/ usually associated with him.

Was venerable one of them

*looks furtively over her shoulder*

Venerable? VENERABLE!

I'll have you know that throughout my life I have followed the teachings of the blessed Widdy (usually not by choice, mind you) and there's no chance of me catching one of those thingies.

As for you Chergal , chunder is not spelt c-h-e-d-d-a-r, but thanks for the compliment anyway.

OK so you reach East Didsbury station from Piccadilly, are you on the right side for the bowling?
