The demographics are only a small piece of the puzzle. They weren't that different about 10 years ago when plenty of bars were open and people travelled from out of town to go there (I.e. Me and many others).

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/14737113.__65k_refurb_to_bring_300_capacity_Cellar_Bar_back_to_the_heart_of_town_nightlife/ I've got very many good memories of The Cellar Bar from years back. I suppose it's a start, but there's plenty of work to be done to get the nightlife anywhere near where it was. There's a Turtle Bay (Caribbean restaurant) opening in the Cathedral Quarter next year also.....

To be honest OOJW, it's great to see the views of more seasoned boxing fans from myself to pick up tidbits of knowledge for me. I've been watching a lot more boxing over the last couple of years and will always make an effort to watch fights now. Trying to shake off the 'casual boxing fan' label ;-)

Bob Dylan- Hurricane

Beastie Boys- Sure shot

The Doors- Light my fire

That's the thing, I'm not talking expats. Where that's concerned, you're right, I'd expect them to support their country of origin and have no problems with them doing so, either. My point was about British born and raised citizens of Pakistani origin supporting Pakistan against England. In a lot of cases, these people have never even been to Pakistan.....

I thought it was Pakistan where he was born for some reason! To be honest, I would expect people born in this country that like cricket to support England. I guess the support matter is a family or a cultural thing, but I've never been able to relate to it myself. I really don't think anything SKH said was racist, or had a hint of it in reality. Quite a poor thing to say really, Jim.

I've never understood that tbh. I remember Nasser Hussain once going on about British-Born Pakistanis not 'supporting the country their parents were from at cricket', but then, he was born in Pakistan himself, so that seemed a bit rich..... I've noticed people of Italian origin do that with footy as well.

The Libertines-Time for heroes

Both times I've been, it's been great. Saw some great acts and had the best times.

Bob Marley- Buffalo Soldier

Ladytron- Destroy everything you touch

High Contrast- Everything's different

Haha, I've no computer at the minute, once I get one I might have to get back amongst that life!!

Been watching Bates Motel on Netflix. (Set when Norman Bates was young and they just start at the motel). So far so good! (Halfway thorough first series).

The Cure- Just like heaven

I went to the Great Northern Ska festival in Manchester yesterday, very good indeed, think the tickets were only £20 or so each as well. The Selecter were a little disappointing, but The Beat were excellent!

Al Green- Let's stay together

Prince Fatty ft. Hollie Cook- Got your money

Are you giving us as long as that, DE?

Operation Ivy- Take Warning

I needed cheering up and this story has done the trick, good effort (and to Tom who first brought it up!)

The Knife- Heartbeats

Run DMC- King of rock
