The scurge of racism...
On Saturday night I was subject to some very hurtful racial abuse. Trying to get into the club/bar Paparazzi in Manchester at the Print Works, I was rejected because I was "too dark"!
One of the more bizarre reasons for being rejected, and it was in reference to my clothes, but still seemed quite stupid! This had come after J had been turned down for Tiger Tiger for having shoes that looked vaguely like Rockports! What is the world coming to I tell you!The ironic thing it was 3 big black bouncers wearing all black who denied me!!I may go back wearing the KKK traditional outfit and see if they let me in then!!
Good night on Saturday all told though, as we had a curry in Rusholme and headed to a few bars in town for J's birthday. His mates had come along from uni and there were 10 or so of us. A bit of standing in the cold whilst we decided on a plan, but ended up in Walkabout dancing wildly with Shiz to Mr Brightside by Killers. Excellent tune!!
Sunday, went to see Unleashed with Jet Li (not with Jet Li, went with Charlotte...Jet Li was in it!:))at the cinema. Now I'm not usually one for martial arts films but this one had a bit more depth to it and was very enjoyable. Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins (!) were excellent, as was Jet Li.
Good run on Monday too, not interupted by a bee sting this time, but having to witness a bump on Jacksons Lane. Stopped to give my details as a witness but the pause threw my rhythem! Got it back though for one of my best runs of recent months. Arrived home to find my number for the GNR had arrived too! 16055!!! Keep an eye out for me as I romp home!!
