If you're ever trying to persuade me to do something over a weekend, and you're after making me an offer I can't refuse, then you should aim at including events of this sort of calibre:
1. Dropping in on a geographically-distanced ex-flatmate.
2. Visiting Macclesfield cemetery to see Ian Curtis' little memorial stone (flowers, incidentally. And a few notes. And a couple of photographs. And an eight-inch plastic Batman. No, really)
3. Chumbawamba. Then the Alabama 3. And two other bands.
4. Jodrell Bank. Preferably at a time when they're turning the big telescope around a lot, because a 250-foot radio telescope doing a complete and stately 180 is quite impressive.
