Manchester Statues Guided Tour
Wednesday 1st July
This fella, Ed Glinert, the guy who’s hosting this walking tour, once emailed me after publishing a piece on Hitler and the Midland Hotel. He wasn’t happy at all. He’s “Manchester’s leading tour guide, historian and public speaker” and he said that there were a lot of errors in it. Sorry Ed lad. Anyway – he’ll be hosting a tour this week of Manchester’s statues – examining whether those who are celebrated are ‘Heroes or Villains’. If you’re interested in history then you’ll probably like this – he really knows his stuff. Oh and sorry again for the Hitler thing Ed.

Drive-In Football – Manchester City V Liverpool
Thursday 2nd July
The football is back and if my limited knowledge is correct – the Premier League shield has been won. Liverpool Wanderers won it last week after a thrilling match up against the Renford Rejects. So this game is pretty pointless then?! Yep. Okay then – no need to tell you that you can watch it at a drive-in cinema from the safety of your Ford Ka then. Okay bye.

Hit up our list below of all the places you can go and forget all about this lockdown shite.
