Can I bring “Morrissey's Manchester” for a sign then? I've always wanted to have a book signed by the author
I'll have a chat with the author and ask him if he is bringing a pen with him

I heard he can only write his name after he's had a pint, not that I'm suggesting the way to get the book signed is to buy him a pint!

Grim
P.s. Mind you don't wait until the end of the night because I've also heard that he can't even say his name never mind write it by then!

Point one - a pint of Hydes best bitter
Point two (the ps) - I don't remember that occurring

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind
So it's very easy to recognise him, isn't it? He will be in the bar with the head on the bar, right?

Great! Thanks!
Just had a text message from the author.
He said he cannot make it, he has a prior engagement, but has authorised me to sign it on his behalf......

No, he is the one on the dancefloor, being propped up to prevent him from falling down

I'm not sure, but I noticed last week when stood at platform 14 at Piccadilly station that they had painted the ouside of the building

Relax, yes, I'm trying...
Can't make this one due to lack of babysitters again
Hope you all have a great time!
Aw, gutted - I was about to email and ask if you were coming!
Ben - see you there! (I can't work out how to multiquote. Damn this technology nonsense.)

Once again, a great night down on Fairfield Street. Around 10.30pm the place seemed empty but once the pubs emptied, the place was packed. Not seen an August one packed for years.
Nice to see Reggie there, gentle kind, Mrs and Mrs Lazy Dykes and a few others whose names escape me (including the really nice couple who ''got lost'' on the London MozTube tour in January and ''found each other'').
Got in at 4am and had to be up at 8.30am
Conversation of the night:
Mr S&G - hey, nice to see your observational skills are good, the front has been painted for months...
JJ - Oh, well it's dark when I turn up, so never noticed.....
Mr S&G - well what do you think the scaffolding was for, for a couple of months?
JJ - I had assumed it was holding the building up to prevent it falling down
See you all next month., off to my Mums for the weekend!

Other conversation of the night;
JJ - You know that Jimmy Grimble film? The Star and Garter is in that and there's this fella walks into a room full of Blues wearing a United shirt and nobody does anything or kicks off when he threatens a bloke for £50
Me - It's a Liverpool shirt
JJ - Was it? Really? Oh well it should have been a United shirt
Me - Maybe that's in the Directors Cut
JJ - And what about the bit where he walks out of Maine Road and throws his boots in the Canal at Castlefield and then walks back into Maine Road when people like me know that Maine Road isn't even near Castlefield
Me - It's not real. It's just a film about a City fan. It's a good advert for City
JJ - Yeah but if they didn't say that Castlefield was near Maine Road then blokes like me wouldn't have anything to complain about and besides, the Star and Garter got paid for them to film so you've sold out because this fella in a United shirt walks into the room downstairs which is full of Blues and nobody says anything so you should have said something
Me - It was a Liverpool shirt. So you don't like There's Only One Jimmy Grimble then?
JJ - What? No, it's a great film - I love it.
