Hey,
I've just moved to Manchester (from Oxford) and sure I joined here with a bit of extra curricula activity in mind but am also looking just to get to know people in the area. To chat with, have a laugh and fun with (that doesnt mean shagging!) Potentially EVEN be friends with lol
I love resturants (fave - chinese), good banter, football (support PNE and Oxford, might start watching city next season though), cinema (saw spiderman3 but generally not a Hollywood fan), books (Tom Woolfe, Nick Hornby, although just read Jordans book) and music (Oasis, cheesy Dance, Embrace, Beatles, Kanye West, everything really).
I hope this post appeals to all your compassionate side, and the resonses come flooding in. At the very least it could spark a book, film and music review post.
Ben
