Quotes
Steve - "Don't you remember the night club we used to
go to that had nude nights on a Wednesday"
David - "I bet that Wright Robinson hall hasn't changed since it
was built about 30 years ago".
Steve - "I think it was more that that - we were here 25 years ago !"
Pete - "I don't understand it - we were in a cafe which sold food
and now we have left to go look for food !"
David - (looking at the film crews on the UMIST campus) "I
haven't seen them do any filming yet"
