Is that the one at Salford Quays?

If so no they didn't when we went - there might have been a suggested voluntary donation or something.

That was pretty good.

IWM was rather good when I visited a few years back but I did prefer the Lowry gallery (didnt expect to)

as for Duxford, fantastic place to visit, would love to visit the airshow they have in September every year

I went to couple of airshows in the 80s - military was 'in' post Falklands war - and I did enjoy them.

Be interesting to see if I would now if only for the nostalgia.

Whilst it is fair to say I have a predilection for red heads there's levels even I wouldn't stoop to.

It's not snobbery. I read some right trash sometimes, and I quite liked the Da Vinci code, I just dislike his style of writing. I'll probably read the new one when I can get the paperback cheap next year, if only so I can complain about it.

Would you do Loz though?

Waist height perhaps?

The lowest level I've ever stooped to was Danny. Put my back out.

Were you giver or taker?

I always took it that 'stooping' in that sense would equate to some kind of front facing, possibly oral activity (on the writer's part that is). Further, having known Gareth, albeit [ibriefly[/i, I think my assumptions are most likely accurate.

I have a Vitamin D deficiency and what better way to get a fix?

I think you should clarify your post. You say you knew me briefly and this has given you in depth knowledge that I fellate blokes.

We don't want to give Puig the wrong idea/make him jealous.

If you're just into seeing big guns, tanks, planes etc, the IWMN isn't for you (though there's a handful there) - the museum's purpose is more about telling the personal story of war, the impact on people. At certain times of the day they open up one of the cabinets and give a hands on of some of the displays. It's less than a quid to go up the the viewpoint on the airshard.

The Lowry is free (with a suggested donation) and usually has one gallery showing a changing display of Lowry paintings, and the other two galleries showing various temporary exhibitions (one is photos of actors and the other is images of the North Sea at the mo).

Wow, you Sir are turning me on.

What time do they open up for the hands on experience, I really do enjoy a good airshard.

Exactly why I decline to clarify.
