I'd just like to start this weblog posting by apologising to the good peoples of Madchester for dropping a bit litter.

If you look at the piece of litter near the 2 persons in view, well the 4th bit of litter on the left is mine, and I'm deeply ashamed of myself for dropping that sweetie wrapper, but it was very crowded, and we'd got a good spot to watch the match on the big screen, and if we had gone round looking for a litter bin that was not over-flowing, we may have lost our good spot in Piccadilly Gardens.

This is an aerial shot of the crowd, me and my Boy are just sitting on those hexagonal orange things on the right of the picture ( they were some kids soccer skills competition thing) We were not sitting on the top, but on the bottom, and it's the 1st shape from the bottom, on the far side, right in-between the guy in a kilt, skinning-up, and the 2 guys doing a few lines, well that's us then. ( not the 2 guys doing some lines, that's not us, we're next to them)

In this photograph, none of the rubbish was, either mine, or my sons, so we couldn't put it in out pockets to take home with us, and put it in the bin at home. So sorry about the litter, but all the bins that I saw were over-flowing with rubbish, and nobody came to empty them. There were no large skips, that I could see, to cater for the large amounts of empty beer cans, take-away food wrappings, crisp and sweetie papers, juice cans/bottles old newspapers etc. I did ask a man in a bright green jacket where the rubbish should be put, and he pointed to the floor. I also asked where the nearest toilets were, and he pointed to a wall, so that was Madchester then, I didn't attack the police, I didn't scare anyone, or fight with anyone, I may have sang a few songs, and may have been trying to have a good time, but that all ended when the big screen went off. I waited for about 5 minutes then headed back to my hotel. The End.
