Got a flat tyre this morning. Anyone know of a good mobile repair / tyre swap service in or around Manc that they could recommend please?
Would it not be easier and cheaper to just take the loose wheel to a garage?
cheaper yes, not easier and not quicker.
When you're a high powered, high rolling dynamo of a man such as myself there really is no time to be taking wheels off or scratching new numbers onto engine casings and things like that.

You may well be right, but my biggest hurdle would be getting the rear wheel in the air with no jack or paddock stand and then the fact there are no motorbike wheel fitters near my commute - plus, having to bring the car into work is an arse ache. Nevertheless, it looks like it might be my only option.
is it a bike?
ignore that.... it is.
Are you living up north now Gilby?

Oh, I'm in the north alright, I'm a Manc now.... like a fox amongst the hounds.
The other half has had to stay down south. He says he's too committed to the Southern Ninja-fest's to move up north.... and it's definitely too far to travel for them. C'est la vie!

I'm living in West Didsbury and working in Spinningfields. If you'd like a formal invite Mr Waugh we can do lunch on the company credit card in my quest to befriend the entirety of the north west's development industry.... we can then get eat, drink and talk about motorbikes, tits and fighting and that!
lived and worked in west didsbury for 10 years. The old church along Burton Road was my office (now the British Mountaineering Council)..... Th Violet Hour opposite was also a recent project.
lunchipoo's sounds delightful..... what is it that you do?

I was in the Metropolitan
That's a couple of minutes walk from where I worked. Back in the late 80's/early 90's it was a notorious rough Whitbreads pub and the scene of many a gang shooting.
The practice I was working for did a scheme on it and it was this young junior's job to survey the blighter...... I had to have a police escort just to walk around the place...... one of the upstairs rooms had the corpse of the manager's poor dog, which had been caught in cross fire the night before.
The transformation of the area has been staggering, it's now a trendy urbane hot spot.
I live on Nell Lane in one of the new build houses opposite the Withington Community Hospital, I'm about 50m from the BMC church. I have frequented the violet hour a couple of times, as have I the Metropolitan. The Violet Hour is really nice, the Met is often full of arseholes (Iain, present company excluded of course) but certainly not rough and a lovely pub nonetheless! The whole area is a brilliant place for drinking and merriment.
I'm a planning consultant Dan. Moved up to Manchester from Cheltenham in December last year. I'm well aware of architect's views on planners (on either side of the public / private fence) and judging by your previous posts concerning planning matters I assume you have very little requirement for a planning consultant on most of your jobs. Regardless, lunch sounds like a top idea and I could do with a decent architect in my Filofax!
Iain, do you still have my number? give me a shout next time you're about, would be good to go for a beer.

I use them on almost all of my work, but I also work for them with my other business as a historic building consultant doing heritage assessments and impact statements.
We need to do lunch love.
