I refuse to believe it

Hmmm, I am not sure the Venn diagram is just a circle in this case.

It’s your birthday? HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

You and I must be similar age then? Wasn't there a bar in there that had snooker tables or pool tables? I had a friend who lived in those halls and I have a vague recollection of this.

I’ve decided that all people who are into AI smell bad. Really bad. And nothing will convince me otherwise. I hope others will join me in this truth.

Saturday Night Skive

It is such hot garbage. Even discounting a lot of the content, the app is so bad

Sensational scenes

Me and who?

I'm basically blasting porn at the timeline

The facade of a red brick, 1960s constructed aer gallery. It's quite grand looking and has a circular entrance with grey pillars. Above it is a cloudy sky.

My final stop, The Whitworth Art Gallery, opened in 1967. Going to stop looking at modernist buildings now and look at some art instead

Triangular shaped red bred student halls of residence in front of a cloudy sky

Triangular shaped red brick and brown slate student halls of residence in front of a cloudy sky with a grassy bank in front of them

Next stop: Whitworth Park Halls of Residence, opened in 1974. Only briefly took a couple of photos because I'm a 48 year old man and didn't want to look weird hanging around student halls.

St Augustine’s Church - Ellis Williams Architects At Ellis Williams we push boundaries to design visionary architecture considering space, materials, setting and environment in the most transformative and interesting ways.

I really wanted to get inside this one, I've seen photos and it's amazing but it wasn't open unfortunately

I was thinking of going to the AQA building next, but I'm giving it a miss. Fun fact: I worked there in a summer job when I was a student and met the daughter of the man who wrote Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime". I fucking hate that song.

Extension opened in 1970. This one is FIT 😍

*I was, I mean. Damn my fingers.

It was some doing the blocking, no idea why 😬😬 (possibly an old blockenheimer accident)

Having a tea break before I carry on

Roscoe Building at University of Manchester. White concrete and lots of rectangular windows, and v-shaped supporting columns

Concrete stairwell at the back of the Roscoe building, behind many glass windows.

Next stop, Roscoe Building at the University of Manchester, opened in 1964. Same architects as one of my other favourites The Renold Building at UMIST. Fun fact: I worked in this building for 18 months 2014-15.

Waheyyyyyyyy
