Manchester Pride 2006 – Review

Manchester Pride 2006:

Ello pop pickers!

Been waiting for a few Manchester Pride pictures to turn up on the internet before writing this year’s event up!

I’ve not actually been onto the Pride site itself this year as I object to paying to get into my local bar, when I have already made a charitable donation to purchase a ticket! They say that the money on the doors of each bar go to the Operation Fundraiser…. but do ALL of the monies get there…? Happy to pay to get into the village, but not to boost the profits of some corporate bar on the back of a community event! Oooo how political am I? I should join the Lib Dems and do a bit of cottaging!

Plus I worked it last year with work, and so just the thought of the place makes me feel tired lol!!!

The Parade itself was good! A lot of the people from last year were there, with some new additions!

Probably the best floats/entries were the “Our Mirriam’s A Lezzer” guys, the 1950 Salford Ladies – with catchy bill boards such as “Rings are for Fingers”, and “Free Shirley Bassey”, and also the Emergency Services – esp the police department who win the campest entry in my eyes with the whole force being accompanied byt he theme music to Starsky and Hutch! ow kitsch!!

My Marc was also in the parade again this year - which was very cool!

Definately the most organised parade in recent years! Thoroughly enjoyable! Always makes me very proud to see 250,000 people lining the streets of Manchester to watch probably the biggest pride event in the UK!

Click to www.manchesterpride.com to visit the official Manchester Pride website – which should have further pictures soon!

Roll on Manchester Pride 2007!!!

‘Ello!

So much for posting to this blog on Saturday – I had a fairly active weekend and was unable to update.

This week’s not been too bad so far. I’ve decided to force myself to go to the gym this week, as I’ve been putting off going for far too long!!!

Work’s been OK-ish, nothing too fabulous!

Marc and I watched that “Little Miss Jocelyn” programme on BBC Three last night – it’s got to be the funniest thing I’ve seen all year in my opinion – well worth watching!!!! That’s BBC Three on a Tuesday night at 10:30pm.

Been having a lot of late nights recently as I’ve been unable to sleep much, not sure why, but I’ve had toothache recently, and so that’s probably got something to do with it! Toothache has been fine today though – yay!

Manchester Pride is this weekend. I am going to the Parade etc as Marc is in that on a float, however I’m not buying a ticket this year for entrance into the Gay Village – don’t see the need to pay to get into an area where the bars will charge me as well to get in to them, and they’ll be full of pill-heads, drunks and other kinds of undesirables – ewww! I’ll go to the Gay Village some other time, when I’m not going to be charged to drink in my local bars!!!!!! Click here for more info on Manchester Pride 2006!

I also need to redesign my personal website (www.marcandgari.plus.com) as what’s on there now is my jolly old website, which I transfered from my old host to the new one when I switched ISP’s. It’s looking a little dated and I need assistance to create something funkier! Suggestions/Assistance would be gratefully received!

Anyways, enough of my rantings for one day!

Thanks for reading!!

Ello! :-)

Ello!

In keeping with current trends, I’ve decided to open up a blog on here too! Three people who I know have introduced me to this site in the last 24 hours to view their blogs, and so I thought it best to keep up with the fashion (which was my original reason for getting a MySpace profile – www.myspace.com/musicalmadgari!)

Anyways, don’t know if anybody will read this blog or not, and I’m gonna try and keep this one more like a diary kinda journal as opposed to my MySpace blog which is intended to be a little more fun and entertaining!

Anyways, funnily enough I am sat here waiting for my Tesco shopping delivery, which I always seem to be doing when I start projects such as these!

Speaking of which – he’s just turned up now! Feel sorry for him as it’s rather stormy up here in Manchester tonight – gorgeous to look out over my balcolny at, but probably not nice to be out in!

Anyways, I’d best go and let Mr Tesco Delivery Man in! Will look to update and post properly on Saturday!

Ta ya for now!
