This Is The Place

Tony Walsh

This is the place in the North West of England

It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and

So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten

And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

But the Manchester way is to make it yourself

And make us a record, a new number one

And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

And make us sing louder and make us believe it

that this is the place that has helped shape the world

And that this the place where a Manchester girl

Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride

And this is the place with appliance of science

We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

Mancunians in union delivered it all

Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!

And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

And so this is the place to do business, then dance

Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance

And this is the place where we first played as kids

And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

And this is the place where our folks came to work

Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt

And they built us a city. They built us these towns

And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves

And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

And to work and to build, to connect and create and

Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great

And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets

Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics

And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

Because this a place where we stand strong together

With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever

And we’ve got this as the place where a team with a dream

Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!

Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way

And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

We support local groups and the great work they do

So can you …help us help… local people like you?

Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

That this is the place. We should give something back.

Always remember. Never forget.  Forever Manchester.

[ID] Digital illustration shows the interior of an open book. The left page reads "Chapter 30", and there is an illustration of Spock in Vulcan robes, backing away from Kirk, who has an arm outstretched. Text printed on the page beneath them read “The names tattooed through the hearts on each arm were blacked out;" and the text beneath it has been torn out, revealing a snippet of text beneath it. There is another illustration at the bottom of the page of an outstretched arm, palm-up, which has a loveheart tattoo on the forearm. There's a black line through the bottom of the heart, presumably blotting out a name. On the second page there is the title "Enterprise", and the words "and and and but" in a long column. Two entwined hands, still illustrated, seem to burst out of the page, drawn with the same colours. The hand on top is forming a ta'al, the Vulcan salute, and there are two letter A's written on the middle finger. There's a circle tattoo with a squiggle through it, presumably another erased name. [\ID]

[ID] Digital illustrations on a grey background. Kirk stands on the left, and Spock on the right. They are wearing their outfits from The Motion Picture. Two scraps of paper are laid out in the middle of the page, which read 'but not' and 'erased.' At the bottom of the page, Kirk and Spock are holding hands (an illustration of the This Simple Feeling scene from The Motion Picture). Text in the bottom right corner of the image read @MarlinSpirkHall

The names tattooed through

the hearts on each arm were blacked out;

but not erased

VEEP — 3x09: Crate (2014)

Done with The Unsleeping city II and what a beautiful season it was.

TUC was the first ever d20 campaign I have watched and I loved chapter II so much. I was honestly a bit nervous about the whole zoom thing but I am just so grateful that we got to see this story at all. And the art was really beautiful.

It was so touching to see Kingston and Sofia's journey especially.

The final big roll being a joint effort from Kingston and Pete for a divine intervention? That's poetry

I am so glad I finally got around to watch this season because it really is a wonderful sequel for an incredible beautiful story. It reminded me of how much I love and cherish the dream team and this universe.

Tuc will always have a special place in my heart.

WATCHLIST 2023: Serpico

[is-this-a-sideblog]

I'm watching Veep right now and I know everyone on the show is a terrible person and they are all self centered and bla bla bla...WHATEVER DUDE. Gary Walsh is literally me in a year or two from now. Don't even care.

"Oh, but he's just a doormat who has no free will other than whatever Selina wants him to do". Yeah. I'm already a people pleaser, I just need to be matched with my boss that I'll latch on to and serve like a henchman until they throw me under the bus.

I know my place in this world. I'm a goon.
