[Closed] Where to live in North Manchester

Your only allowed to live in the new flats in Hulme if you bowl from the pavillion end.

Hence the phrase 'Hulme-osexuals'

The collective insight of STW comes to the rescue!

Geronimo - your Chorlton photo could be East Dulwich (which I like) and your Didsbury one is Clapham - overpriced and full of postcode snobbery whilst actually not being that great when you look beyond the trendy bars and chichi shops...

Binners - you may find me knocking on your door asking for a guided tour at some point 🙂

In the meantime, off to go and prep for the 2nd interview, it ain't in the bag yet.

After 10 years in London the idea of having the Lakes close enough for a day trip is a very, very cool idea. And if the Peaks is an hour away I suspect I'll be getting my climbing shoes back out the bag again 🙂

Feel free fella. And don't forget to join the South Manchester Massive when you move. TO be honest, we're spoilt rotten for riding. The Peaks, and the West Pennine moors, Calderdale, Llandegla are all easily reachable for night rides. As we do every week. And the Lakes and the rest a quick Saturday morning drive

You'll love it!!! 🙂

In almost 10yrs in London I never went east or south east. Wierd that. Always NWest/North or central London

Hora. The only place you went was cottaging on Clapham Common

No that was on Hampstead Heath. The Police didn't care about blatant sex acts with men lurking in bushes. What they cared about was laying traps for cyclists and fining them £250. I also received a caution for cycling through Regents Park at 7am in the morning.

You really would think the Police would focus on lude behaviour first wouldn't you?

Didsbury is fine if you want to go out on the lash and for people who want to be able to say they live in Didsbury

I live in Didsbury because it's the only part of Manchester I find reasonably acceptable for habitation.

The rest of the city seems to be filled with rat faced scrotey c--ts.

brooess - good luck with the job interview. Let us Manc's know how you get on?

Binners - I've been in the SMM for years and years, we very rarely venture south, you think Marple is positively in the Midlands lol.

Also after reading that very funny paragraph about Stockport, I did wonder if you'd written it as I couldn't quite imagine you in a suit 🙂

Oh and the Lamborgini garage is very, very near the local court house, what a bad location eh?

Prestwich, look at the tram stop on the map- to the right/slightly above for circa 1/4mile. elsewhere in Prestwich no.

🙄

Further underlining the fact that you know f#ck all about many things yet you still share your wisdom with us.

Ourmanupnorth, is it ok if me and Mrs Miggins have the night off tonight and not sit in the downstairs kitchen in case the bell rings?

Harry the Spider- PLEASE prove me wrong. Thats the only part I've focused on as I thought the rest was near roughish areas?

You could find me a better property, or at least open up more avenues!

So you wrote the rest of it off without looking at it?

I've lived in and around Prestwich for 15+ years and it is fine.

WHY would I want to prove you wrong?

I've been around a few properties- the area I think is good is above/behind M&S for circa 1/2mile down Heys round and within the border with Bury Old road.

I am more than willing to be proved wrong (and admit I'm wrong) if I find out/advised to the contrary.

It'd open up more potential houses for me.

this is one of those 'lets see how many people we can offend' threads isn't it?

Backup the truck Terra your parking on my toe 😯

Binners regularly calls Stretford a sh&thole, hes not offending me. I'm not calling Prestwich a sh&thole, merely saying the area I THINK is good is x by x within Prestwich.

your views on prestwich don't offend me hora- just your stupidity.

You are easily offended Terrahawk. How can someone be offended over an area- I hardly called you gypy and the other posters merely said 'avoid north Manchester'.

Its ok, if I move to the area I wouldn't be riding round that muddy field in the locality 😉

10/10. Very good.

excellent!

Lest you forgot the malicious damage to your car and the padlock cut from your back gate*

*this is not a euphemism.

There's also the stetson wearing over-rouged women and the van driver who called me a ****in prick for parking my car on a public road.

Shouldn't you be playing charades with the outlaws 😆

Took to the bugger to the cleaners at cards last and was accused of being "lucky". So I did it again.

 

(Hebden + Hora) = (Chalk + Cheese)

Heptonstall. [img] [/img]

Heptonstall's in bloody yorkshire, not north manchester by about 20 miles. FFS get a grip hora.

Aye up Julian! T'was in response to Jimleach's post. If I moved towards Hebden I'd live above/along the tops of the valley.

According to the 2001 Census of England and Wales, the town has the highest number of lesbians per head in the UK

Anyone fancy going on the pull in Hebden? 😐

Hora you tool!!! Would you fancy the commute from there to the centre of Manchester every day? You could be stuck in that traffic for weeks

No its not going to happen, if we were to move 'far' it would always be Outlane. Sadly there are no work-shy, fruity, crusty-types around Outlane...only sheep 😀

The census report is very true Hora, no problem for the people who live here only those who imagine what that might be like. Lesbians!! can you imagine it!!! tremble in yer boots stuff that. Several of my children’s school friends come from same sex families, you wouldn’t believe how normal they are. Don’t for a second think you would be safe in heptonstall believe it or not Lesbians like views too.
With regard to going on the pull, I think you would be pleasantly surprised, the woman of Hebden love a fanny. 🙂

I award that comment 8/10 for inventive effort.

I'm such a dirty git. Briefly I thought 'maybe I could offer my services to future same-sex couples on Hebden then Jim would have a future nightmare of John Malkovich movie-proportions in the town....

Set out your stall fella, Im sure you will make a killing. I could do a little flyer for you if you like and distribute it in the playground.

Terrahawk/'arry - what do you think of Heys Road (towards the tram rather than t'other way)?

Not telling. Thought you were off to Yarkshire anyway. If so please close the gate behind you. 😉

I don't live on Heys Road so I can't really comment.

Whilst I feel I have come late to this discussion I still feel the need to share my wisdom. North Manchester is a drab and glum place where it rains perpetually on the smog smoke stained run down terrace houses.
The only fun for the youth of the area is to sniff glue or to spark the skegs on their hobnail boots on the still cobbled streets whilst the men folk work hard grinding menial jobs and stop off at the local pub on the way home for 10 or 12 pints of dark flat mild before getting home and setting about beating the wife.

South Manchester on the other hand is a sprawling Nirvana-esque metropolis famed for its enlightened minds and Café culture.

I am on longterm secondment. It is my duty to convert the nearly-Yorkshire folk to full on Yorkshire's 🙂

Call me nearly-Yorkshire again and I'll tear you a new ass hole. 😯

Hmmm we have a tough-conversion here....jumps on him and presses the Holy Yorkshire bible t'his head!

brooess - I think I read on another thread that you'd got the job.
So what's it gonna be boy : North or South?

Bromley Cross / Egerton / Edgeworth FTW

Terrahawk/'arry - what do you think of Heys Road (towards the tram rather than t'other way)?

I'm not telling either. Just on the off chance you make a decision and move near me

Looking at house prices and crime stats I was coming to the conclusion Sale would be good.
Chorlton crime stats were worse than Dulwich which is SE London and right next door to Peckham!
And houses in Sale are £20k cheaper than Chorlton and it's still on the tram - into work in less than 30 mins.
Don't care about posh caffs next door tbh, just somewhere quiet and non-dodgy and easy to get to work.
