It would have been more amusing though, the bloke only has 1 line but it's clearly a scouse accent.
I wonder if there's ever been a scouse rag fan?
I also remember when I sat next to JJ on the bus back from Marley Park gig to Dublin & he told me the same story about 6 times! I was finishing it off for him by the end & he was in total agreement with me!
love

actually how about making it October fest?
3 October SnG then...
City are playing at home on the Saturday, so I could kill plenty of birds with just the 1 stone if we postponed the invasion until then?

Grim

That's another thing about the film I don't get (like Castlefield being 30 seconds from Maine Road
) - the S&G is a few miles from Maine Road, so why did they not use The Beehive? The Parkside? The Sherwood?I reckon someone should do a book called 'Jimmy Grimble's Manchester' and run theme tours on coaches to all the places whilst Grim sits at the front reeling off his story of being an extra in the film'.
....now there's an idea.......

"the S&G is a few miles from Maine Road, so why did they not use The Beehive? The Parkside? The Sherwood?"
Because they open during the day and we don't.
Canal/Film Four etc would have had to negotiate with a brewery and with us they didn't.
We have a car park to stick generators and catering on.
We have a walk-around bar which is easy to film across.
Because we won't refit the bar with chrome and other hallmarks of shite it makes any set designers job a bit easier (see "Dead Clever" for an example).
The approach to the Star and Garter is devoid of any houses or shops so it's cheaper to close the road for a few minutes and eliminate any risk of people curtain twitching and spoiling that Oscar-winning shot.
We have an excellent CV of occasions where we've been a location - where the Smiths Night is concerned some of you may remember the Canadian TV crew filming cut-aways for a news feature during the Commonwealth Games in 2002.
There's Ony One Jimmy Grimble is a piece of fiction, not a documentary about places in Manchester where pedants reside.

I didn't actually say Jimmy Grimble was a piece of fiction, I said the film was (read the post again). Still, that still rates as the funniest post ever and the quote from a Smiths song is clearly the work of a non-fictional genius. A career on the stage beckons or maybe a job as a tour guide around "Morrissey's Manchester (Now Including The Bit Where The Pedants Live)"
