It was pay day recently was it not? Hopefully you haven’t spent up already, otherwise you’re going to be looking like Christian Bale in The Machinist before the month’s out.
Get yourself something shnazzy for the weekend at Oi Polloi. If you reside in Manchester and can get to the shop easily enough, it’s on Tib Street in The Northern Quarter. If you don’t live nearby, or you just can’t be arsed, go to www.oipolloi.com.
Officially the best shop in Manchester according to The Spam Fritter Awards 2008.

In case any of you are wondering; a Spam Fritter is a slice of Spam fried in batter. Simple, yet quite genius. And my Grandmother makes them just like Granny used to make them. Second to none.
She’s a lovely woman is Grandma Doreen, but when she just so happened to stumble upon a pre-packaged version of the delicacy whilst accompanying me on my weekly shop, what started as a nice day out rapidly turned into a lengthy lecture on the state of the nation and how the people in it have become so lazy that they can’t even manage to slice a piece of meat and dip it in egg without keeling over in need of a lie down.
A valid point to be made. However, this takes time, so I managed to slip two packets under the Home Fries whilst she wasn’t looking.
