We compare journey from and journey ends for the weekend:

Pete - Journey from Chesterfield, Journey to Chesterfield

Nigel - Journey from Hereford, Journey to Hereford

Steve - Journey from San Diego, Journey to Japan !!

"Electric Rosary" gets added to the list of 'odd performances' we have seen that none of us really understood !!

Pete is punished by the bar staff in the Didsbury pub for not ordering beer by getting served sparkling water .. in a Vase !!

We move from a noisy part of the pub in the Olde Cock Inn to a nice quiet corner only to be joined by a Stag Party 15 seconds later

A fantastic breakfast and coffee at the Federal Cafe Bar

The Moxy proves to be the trendiest Youngster's hotel in Manchester so we all fit in nicely

Pete assumes he has accidentally got Steve's room based upon the writing on the mirror (see photo)
 

Nigel (to Steve): "Do you ever get stressed ?"
Steve: "Errr - I dont think so"

David (after 1.5 Hours of "Electric Rosary"): "So was that the end of the play or is this the interval? "
Pete: "I have absolutely no idea !"
