Don't you dis Mike Harding nev. And don't start on Lisa Stansfield either.

Stansfield is a manc,but Beth Jordache is a yonner a classy one at that! Gracie and Cyril oh and Heroin are the most famous things from Rochdale

Nope Red. Lisa was born in Heywood (next door to Rochdale) but moved to Rochdale soon after as her first school was in Rochdale. Her mum and dad lived about 1/2 mile from my current house and Lisa had a huge house about 200 yards from mine. She since sold it and it got knocked down to put luxury apartments on. BTW. I only moved to Rochdale about 25 years ago, so I can't really call myself one of them but I do still love the place.

I stand corrected now then i have family live on Darnhill,nice place that It seems that most people from Rochdale try to leave if possible ............where was you from originally?

now then i have family live on Darnhill,nice place that

OMG, I hope we're not related. I have a family member who lives there.

Whoops. Replied too early. I live(d) in Bamford, which is a nice place. Still got a few houses in the area Originally from around Cheetham Hill and Blackley, moved to Heywood later and then Rochdale

Could we not set up a Joys of Rochdale thread - it certainly seems the place to be. Do they have an Ice Hockey Mr BJ?

No Toady. But I think there's still a Roller City

Gawd, I hate these international breaks

No Toady....Devon and Cornwall is the place to be in England

My dad supports Southampton but I have never lived there (or anywhere near there) and we don't have any strong family links to any particular team (or any particular city either), so I chose Liverpool after they won the FA Cup in 1992 (when I was 7) purely for (misguided) glory seeking reasons.

We later moved to the North West so I went to watch them at Anfield a lot as a teenager, but the last few years I have only been to a few games per season (and even then normally just when they are playing away in London). I doubt I will see them this season but that's probably for the best.

Your whole post seemed a bit down in the dumps but that bit tickled me

I prefer Cornwall, Devon's not really the real deal - although lived in Plymouth for 3 years. They don't make proper pasties, and they don't make proper clotted cream

You can harp on about Pasties all day Toady but until you know how to make proper Gravy to put on the top, they will never taste any good. We can even make those Scottish Pies taste good with our Gravy. Now that is a miracle.

I first took an interest in QPR in 1975 when they were good as I liked the name and they were on TV a lot. Then when my parents took me to the UK for the first time, they took me to Upton Park to see West Ham v Chelsea just before the 75 cup final and I have followed West Ham ever since.

My paternal grand dad followed Arsenal (and Barking strangely enough), but during the war there were travel restrictions meaning that he took my dad to West Ham instead. And that has become the family tradition.

If you are from around Blackley and Cheetham Hill a tip of the hat to you good sir for getting out of there.

Christ the women in Blackley are harder looking than the men. Not many pubs round there you'd pop into for a pint if you weren't known or with someone who was.

I used to live in Crumpsall for a bit on Middleton Road, just down from the Cheers Bar, also on the edge of Prestwich and Kersal.

I remember the insurance company laughing when I told them my post code when I bought my first fiesta when i moved to manchester, M25 9XT.

I had 4 cars nicked in 9 months, and when i bought my 5th car (3 days old) it got righten off from behind sat stationary at the lights out the front of my flat. None of the cars were worth more than insurance in the end. The fifth car did me in, I was off after that.

I must say though had a great 4 years of partying and my mates there were the salt of the earth. Still love the place and friends, something about it. I will say though not the easiest place to be a Liverpool fan, it really couldn't be known while out in pubs. Even my mates wouldn't let that out for a laugh.

We moved away from there over 40 years ago BB. Were cars even invented then

It's all about the gravy BJ, my bloody northern family members still insist on pouting it all over their pasties. HP is far better, not sure if gravy goes well with hot dogs though?

Cooking is very simple Toady and some people try to over complicate it. Just cook everything till it is bone dry and the bugs are dead, then wet it down with gravy.

Daddies is better than HP. Loads of it over any savoury pastry, especially sausage rolls. Bloody lovely.

Anyone found Daddies brown sauce here?

mjj not seen daddies sauce here,but there is pla ra, the issan folk love the stuff,not sure it would taste good on a pasty,.

Northern monkeys...Daddies sauce indeed!

Us Scots wouldn't eat anything if it hadn't been deep fried then smothered in curry sauce....bloody wimps the lot of ya!

Thought you were the Northerner and we were the Southereners

no. HP sauce is the brown sauce. if you walked in a caff for a brekkie and there was daddies on the table you turned round, left and went to another caff. it's like any ketchup that isn't heinz, it can only ever be slightly disappointing.

I'm with Stevie on this one, Daddies is a poor man's HP. BTW Mr BJ, where is Old Trafford?

Might go well with a Hot Dog or Popcorn though

BTW Mr BJ, where is Old Trafford?

Just outside Manchester Toady. I went to watch the Lady Boy's of Bangkok there once. Now they play there every other saturday
