The Manchester tram network.

Not the whole of the infrastructure, just the section outside my hotel window which makes it sound like I have a tram actually passing next to my bed since about 5am....

Euston Station. What a complete carbuncle of a station it is. I have no other suggestion than to level it and the surrounding areas with a small tactical nuclear warhead.

It's "my" station for going to London.

If you look at pictures from the 1960s when the current station was first built it looks pretty cool in that 60s TWA silk screen poster sort of way.

Shame it doesn't really come across that way any more :lol:

There's a great little bakery just down the road though.

It went downhill after Hema closed up IMO. Handy for the Wellcome collection and 30 Euston Square though.

Why?
Because if you have a well behaved dog that's sitting at the bar / under your table whilst enjoying a pint, who give a shit.
However, if you've got stupid small panty dogs that are on the verge of dying from an asthma attack or dogs that bark and try and get into every plate the servers are bringing out it's unhygienic and bloody annoying.

Clearly the problem could be solved by owners training their dogs, but most don't, hell if the local facebook page it to be believed 90 plus percent don't even pick up their shit from the pavement.

Fly tipping.

I now have a non-functional fridge parked on the corner outside my house. It appeared mysteriously in the night.

Seems like a weird place to fly tip, almost feels like it's meant to be some kind of horses head thing :D

So, Mr Dazzle, how do you know this fridge is non-functional? :hmmm:

It ain't got a plug.

Fly tippers presumably chopped it off, wouldn't want to waste a perfectly functional 13 amper.
