Ride It Like You Stole It!

Crystal Maze Manchester was pretty good last night. We were on a massively discounted rate as they were ironing out problems. We got in about 16 rooms (there were at least double that for variety although a few were still being finished. One of the puzzle rooms in Aztec Zone wouldn't work as they had put too much sand in around the mechanism, and the poor lady doing it has just had shoulder surgery. The other rooms were fun, one lads head/hair was too big for the helmets, and when it fell off, we got disqualified from that room. Not so sure it would be worth £55 a go EACH. We paid £26.50 which actually felt OK. Feed back given. Things like Escape Rooms/Breakout are £16 in the city centre and take as long, so they need to be competitive.

We did only get 4 crystals after a few mishaps.

Four of us then carried on for a nice Italian Meal at a small family run restaurant (it was a bit of a gem - Dom Marco near Beetham Tower) then on for a couple of beers at "The Gasworks" near "Home" which had it's own brewery and had pints of ale from £2.95 !! The scale of building works and expansion in Manchester City Centre is amazing - it's changing every time you go in.

I went for a walk and had to turn back as I didn't take a chain saw with me... I was walking there last night too... but decided to cut the walk short as it seemed so windy!

I am reminded why Mrs M usually does telephone stuff e.g. insurance. Pricks, the lot of them. I have hung up on 3 already. Still, my fellow train passengers seem amused at my ranting...
Me and @Hill Wimp visited an very nice insurance broker yesterday, you leave documents with them, tell them what you want and hey- presto they do it for you :-)
