There should always be a woman at the head of any queue.
 
Should there be any danger or scaryness they are best placed to talk themselves out of it  O0
 
Apart from that if there's anything for sale a man would not want to be trampled in the rush  ;D

I don't mind going first.  Anyone who's ever watched a horror movie knows the evil lurking creature sneaks up and picks off the stragglers..... 8)
 
My Beloved says I am unlikely to meet anything scarier than me down there.  Clearly that's not true, or he wouldn't dare say it!   ;D

I wouldn't venture down on my own but we could form a queue - let me see:


Cupcake, then me, then you, then Ray, Adsum, lozflan, Maggi and Mel :D





Surely it would be better if I were at the back? That way if I heard Cups shout out in fright I would be in a position to lead the retreat and make sure the exit was free for all of you following me?   :o
We are all lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

You can be anywhere you like as long as it's a greater distance from my person than the length of your arm!   ;D

Metrolink engineers building a new city centre tram crossing have discovered the remains of over 100 people under Cross Street.

The grim but fascinating discovery was made during test digs six months ago for the Second City Crossing, it has emerged.

The remains are thought to have been buried around 200 years ago by members of the Cross Street Chapel, part of the Unitarian Church.

But the site, directly beneath where the new tracks will be laid, has now been temporarily closed off, while archaeologists work to excavate the bodies.

They will be interred elsewhere, possibly at Manchester’s Southern Cemetery.

Specialists charged with working on the unusual project expect to glean vital insights into life in 18th century Manchester from the site and bodies.


Im sure they found remains in this area a few years ago!
