easter in manchester

so back up in the republic of mancunia for easter, i was welcomed by a bout of tonsillitus. lisa and i went to susanna's walk in clinic ( well the nhs' walk-in clinic) to get lisa's sore throat checked out so i thought i would get in on the act. we were both quickly diagnosed with said virus and sent away with boxes and boxes of penicillin. apparently they don't even really know what tonsils do. they think that maybe they help fight infections which seem s a bit ironic as the only ting they are known for doing is getting infected.


in other news...went to the manchester passion thing on easter friday and sang along to such great songs as love will tear us apart and blue monday while the last hours of jesus' life were played out around manchester. i was actually quite impressed by it all. especially seeing so many people in the city centre taking part. dont think that would have happened if it was a traditional passion play. tim booth also tried to do an impromptu rendition of sit down at the end but the sound cut out which was a bit of a shame and of course another highlight of the night was watching wes nike's star performance as one of the disciples. shame he was stood behind the pole on the stage though (as in the pillar not a polish person).

so that the week so far. the highlight of my easter could be going to see the flaming lips on 25th at the apollo except i don't have any money till the 24th so it might be cutting it close for getting a ticket. thats my mission anyway.
