I doubt anyone could see the picture of the 8 year old girl and not get upset -
anyone normal that is !Odd feeling around the place at present - I went to the
Lowry Theatre last night and it was business as usual- almost - they never
usually do any sort bag checking but last night they did have 2 old dears (it
is mainly staffed by volunteers) looking in handbags. It was a sell out crowd
and every seat was full so no-one appeared to be 'scared off' - it was odd on
the way out afterwards to see 2 police cars - one from Wales with Heddu written
on it - with 3 coppers stood with them, 2 with machine guns and one with a hand
gun - they were getting pizza from a local pizzeria. I hate to see armed police
and hope this does not become the normI know friends who are going, as normal,
to the town centre tonight to watch their game and I am off into Piccadilly on
Saturday for a few beers.
I do know a lad with 2 young daughters who had tickets for the MEN but could
not go and gave the tickets away, thankfully to people who stayed safe (that
would not be a good thing to have on your conscience if they had died) and he
is worried about taking them into town over the weekend for the marathon or
whatever it is. He does not want the terrorists to 'win' but fears for their
safety and thinks that they will be too worried to enjoy themselves - difficult
decisions
The saving grace of it all is the fact that it is one (or maybe a few) nutters
who did this atrocious act but the number of people who did great things during
and afterwards is in the hundreds if not more - rescuing people, giving free
taxis, giving so much blood they have stopped taking it , people taking food to
the hospitals, and the various collections for the victims families and for the
two homeless lads who helped are going through the roof.
We will have the flag at half mast tonight at cubs to show our respect
I am not however having a bee tattooed on myself at weekend despite the
Manchester tattoo association saying they will do them for a £50 donation to
the victims fund

May I second Rich’s, post…Iv’e crie…...but not ashamed, I’m a father and
grand-father and uncle. It’s heartbreaking,
thinking, any of these unfortunate, lovely kids could have been one of my
lovely kids…To Manchester people... I take
my hat off to you all, you have been amazing, the way you “ALL" have come out
and done your utmost, to help these
magic people who were caught up in terror in you city……..with your courage,
kindness, support and help…….
Thanks from a Yorkshireman.
Cheers and Beers
