It is small though & you can’t book, but if you can’t get in there are plenty of decent alternatives on adjacent John Bright Street or a short distance away in Chinatown. I like the Stable for pizza, Asia Asia Food Hall, or Topokki for Korean.

If you promise to dance to it then I’ll request it 😁

Falling into a canal, eating a vindaloo, getting referred to as “bab”… endless risks.

Also, although the Charlatans might be generally associated with Cheshire & Manchester, they actually started out in Birmingham and the West Midlands 🙂

I’m sure some Charlatans can be requested. We won’t be having any Mancunians DJing though - Brummies only I’m afraid 😁

Yes - I have already very sheepishly explained to the DJ that he has to play this. Possibly more than once.

The article features depressing images of illegally excavated Spicomellus material for sale on Facebook & making its way to the European market at the Munich Show. If anyone out there wants to do the right thing & return Spicomellus material very happy to put you in contact with Kawtar & Driss.
