ThenewMendoza: October 2008
http://thenewmendoza.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Live for the Win! Wednesday, 8 October 2008. Getting it right and getting it wrong. I visited the Huddersfield Fine Worsted works the other day with SparkUK, it made for a nice evenings explore, despite the fact we were dodging security on a relatively small site. And it was raining, and dark and a bit cold too. Outside the fence is outside your jurisdiction. Move along. For more of Tarboat's excellent pictures go here. Thursday, 2 October 2008. The Beast of Stockport. The dirtiest, stinking hole in the ...

Live for the Win! Thursday, 28 February 2008. I need a Fenix ffs! When bungle calls you at about lunchtime and says, 'fancy doing something tonight? I get a dread feeling in my stomach, here we go again, 'what you got in mind, Bungle, son? So a quick trip down to Wino country to collect the beast of a torch and I'm set, well, after buying some wellies in B&Q, and some cheap jeans in ASDA (I know, I know, should have gone to Tesco, think of the clubcard points)! Was a good night in the end, cheers Bungle.

ThenewMendoza: January 2008

Live for the Win! Thursday, 31 January 2008. I'd completely forgotten I picked this up. 31/01/08. I was rummaging through my camera bag today, having a bit of a clear out of all that random shit that tends to wind up stuffed in a forgotten pocket. And so it was that I found the card pictured above, The Premier Moor System - Thought Control - Substitution. The card reads as follows. By this method of 'substitution' you will gradually change yourself into a positive optimistic, cheerful and happy individua...

Live for the Win! Saturday, 20 October 2007. E P Bray - Derbyshire - 20/10/07. Paper suits, P3 masks and phunky colours are what this place is all about. I had a little recce a few days ago and clocked the unusual warning signs that warn respirators and full body suits should be worn, I say unusual, they're not really, I've just never seen that type before. The factory is deceptively small, considering how big it looks from the outside, mainly consisting of large colourful rooms, a few labs (which I negl...

ThenewMendoza: December 2007
http://thenewmendoza.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Live for the Win! Monday, 31 December 2007. 2007 - I've had the best of times and the worst of times - 31/12/07. This will go down as one of those years to remember for me. I've met some great people, made some great friends. Stood in places I really shoudn't have been standing, seen things that made me go 'WOW', had insane evenings dodging security, eaten things I probably shouldn't have eaten, been soaked, been filthy, been cut, bruised and battered. What further adventures await in the next 12 months?

Live for the Win! Saturday, 5 September 2009. It all comes back to me. Blogger has a problem displaying images hosted on photobucket. lol. Apologies for the crap formatting of the post below, I should really look into that this year. Friday, 4 September 2009. Oh, hello there. It's been a while since I posted anything here hasn't it? I have no good excuse other than laziness on my part. So, since November last year what have I been up to? HSBC Bank in Manchester, stunning. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Live for the Win! Friday, 28 September 2007. Brunner Mond, Lostock - 28/09/07. I've lost count of the number of times I've driven past this immense place, usually on my way to Tesco's in Northwich for a Meat Feast pizza (2 for 4quid, bargain people, thin&crispy, mind), and the number of times I asked myself, 'wonder what it's like in there, at night, in September, maybe on a Thursday, with a skinhead from Stockport? Access to the site was simple enough, though with the place lit up like Blackpool illumin...

ThenewMendoza: April 2008
http://thenewmendoza.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Live for the Win! Monday, 28 April 2008. Right, after months of requiring a google account to leave comments on my blog I'm opening it up to anonymous users. It could be interesting, it could be really dull, I'm kinda hoping someone from Brunner Mond will leave a remark, even if it consists of 'stay the fook away from our factories, you cheeky varmint! Go for it folks, abuse my generosity. Sunday, 27 April 2008. Bunker Drain, Warrington - It's HUGE! We headed into the pipe, being careful not to step on t...

ThenewMendoza: July 2008
http://thenewmendoza.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Live for the Win! Tuesday, 29 July 2008. Works for me.lol. A chance to escape from the baking streets of Manchester for an hour or two saw me taking in the many marvels of The Works storm sewer overflow in scally-central, Collyhurst. The outfall is HUGE (with a capital HUGE) and you can't fail to be impressed by its size, I wonder if every other drain explorer had the same excited feeling as me when I first saw it in the flesh? Tis an amazing thing to leave lying around by the side of a river. So much ha...
