A lot of my coursemates ended up working for a Manchester-based IT company (Lantara?) doing network admin and web coding, but the pay wasn't great and I'd had a better offer from Nominet, hence my move to Oxfrod. Another friend ended up working for Oldham council doing C++ coding on contract, and seems fairly happy with his lot. Maybe it's because everyone in Manchester and Oop North is a horrible luddite who doesn't see the point of this new-fangled Interweb doofer... or, like the lecturers at UMIST, don't see why you need any languages other than FORTH, LISP and ADA... :-) Off topic - have you tried Gossips, Slimelight or the 'Leccy Ballroom? Gossips: Depends on the night. Tenebrae (once a month IIRC, Fridays) is a very good, well-populated goth night, more trad than anything else. Club Noir (every thursday) is a darkwave / synthpop / EBM night with piss-poor attendance and hence no atmoshphere. Malice (every? Tuesday) is another tradgoth night with some great playlists. The club itself is nice, but the bar is HELLISHLY expensive. Slimelight: Been a member for the last 3 or 4 years. The club venue is good, the music on the downstairs floor is OK, and the top venue is hard tecnho crap. I basically go there to see my friends rather than for any other reason. Going there tomorrow, actually - I'll be the one in black *g* Electric Ballroom: Only ever been to their Full Tilt night (every Friday). Far too much skate-punk, nu-metal and dance music for my liking, and the atmosphere is a lot more on-edge and unfriendly than most of the clubs I frequent. Still, if you're drunk enough not to care, then there's enough loose women in tight PVC to make it worth attending...
