the met is going as strong as ever and apart from the summer outdoor BBQ I rarely visit

one bar is full of blonde obnoxius coke heads, hate the place

m20 is a pretty good cocktail bar, sort of moulin rouge boudoir ish in style and the owner/barman certainly knows his cocktail recipes

the barleycorn is still the tulipshole it always has been

by far my favourite pub is the woodstock, i quite like the new look after the refurb and at last they seem to have improved the service time from 3years to something more bearable, in fact im off there in 45 mins

Agreed the service does seem quicker, but then it never seems to be as packed out as it used to be

for PIzza you need to go up to Continental, only a minutes walk over the bridge
I used to have them on speed dial

Or that little place next to the wine shop the other way.

Now you've got me on the subject, Globe Burrittos. mmmmm

[Spacecadet]

Come on, be honest. You've never been in M20! It was always a choice between that and the dodgy £2.99 pizza from the place opposite One lounge. I still get indigestion thinking about them.

Agree with the Met tossers bit. Bar staff in One Lounge were always a good laugh.

Met is still there - and still full of t@ssers
One lounge is still there too, I remember when that opened! and the railway come to think of it
and when The Assembly was a much smaller, nicer place called The Nose and used to share the car park with The Met
(The Nose was great for a saturday/sunday morning breakfast, smoked salmon or bacon and scrambled eggs on toast yum yum)

Favourite West Didsbury pub was always The Woodstock, although recent refurbishments have taken away some of the character it used to have.

Least favourite was the Barleycorn, with the "only gay in the village" barman who would constantly play U2 on the juke box

Still never been in M20 - maybe Chef can tell us what its like

I used to live (stay in the week) a stones throw from there too.

Ever drink in the Met or One Lounge? Assuming they're still there.

holy crap, that happened less than 5 mins walk from me..

what's going on? west didsbury is a safe area, we dont have muggings around here..

great, now i've got to actually look out for muggers as well as concentrating on stumbling home from the Woodstock..

I bet he wished he'd not argued the toss over with the cabbie over the change from the tenner.

[chef]

and what's wrong with Didsbury?

if it's good enough for John Thompson then it's good enough for most

[Spacecadet]

Why is someone on Darius Vassell's wages living in Didsbury? Surely he can afford a nice footballer's pad out in Cheshire.

Who said he lives there?
