As the positions being sought are understood to be for listings staff, the company would not be drawn, when questioned, as to whether this meant funding for the print title had been secured or whether it simply meant additional investment in the Time Out Manchester web site instead of a print publication.

A majority of media pundits believed the Manchester publication would never see the light of day although How-Do’s own poll earlier this year suggested more readers had faith in owner/publisher Tony Elliot’s ambitions.

The Time Out Manchester web site has been quietly and steadily increasing its content for the past few months but this latest development implies a marked increase in activity could be imminent.

Bastow , on 19-08-2007 00:32 A new McDonalds opens every day......and nobody bats an eyelid  When Time Out hits the streets the public will collectively say 'Oh. that's that magazine from London'   Here endeth the lesson.  Chimp is from Manchester, and people from Manchester don't care what media pundits say.  x Report

5  By Giles Bastow , on 19-08-2007 16:47 Thank you for your proof reading expertise Nimrod (anonymous as usual). I would be the first to admit that there are far to many errors in the website text. Chimp does employ journalists in answer to your question. The magazine is an an enormous venture for Chimp Publications Ltd and as yet we cannot give a release date until we are ready. Thank you for you continuing negativity, you make us even more determined. Pedant....Thank you for being positive. Report

17  By Giles D. Bastow , on 21-08-2007 14:12 Fair cop? I'll say.     First of all your spelling of necessary and preposterous are incorrect.   I'm sure you would want me to point that out as you value your proof reading skills so highly!    As far as people making themselves look preposterous the award goes to you mate. Next time you want to insult me or my magazine I suggest you have the balls to use your own name because I like to know who I am being slandered by.     You think I go out of my way to look preposterous? Anyone who names himself after the great-grandson of Noah is obviously delusional.  I know your writing is not that popular but making comments on your own articles is about as low as you can go...  So you don't represent How Do then? I think some would find that very hard to believe.     It would be nice that on forums such as this we could avoid anonymous elements like yourself, they usually have lots to hide and nothing to say.    Anyway I think we've all got that measure of what type of hack you are.     You used to edit 'Wank' mags didn't you?
