I could well be in Blackpool this weekend - never been - what do people recommend I see when / if I go there?

Club wise, I'd just go to Syndicate. It costs a lot to get in, but it's a really good club. Lots of different music too, so there's bound to be a bit you like. I've heard good things about Funnygirls too, but I've never been myself. Heaven & Hell is supposed to be a bit shit.
Daytime, well the Pleasure Beach is a day in itself.
2 of the 3 piers have some rides on them and all 3 have bars on them.
There's a lot of little shops along the prom so it's nice to have a walk along to look in them or just to look out over the sea.
The area around the tower is where the most clubs and bars are - can't suggest any decent places there as i usually stick to the bars around the south pier (Tommy Ducks is quite expensive - it's opposite the South Pier).
There's quite a few venues that have shows (comedy/musicals/etc..)
The shopping isn't too bad either, it's got a lot of the usual highstreet shops but it has a good amount of markets if you want a bargain.
If you want a nice meal I suggest you go to a cafe on Bond Street (not far from Yates' -towards the south pier) it's called Top Chef, the food is gorgeous and it's quite reasonably priced. There's also some other decent places to eat along that street.
Towards the outskirts of Blackpool there's a park which is called Stanley Park and there's also a model village and a zoo, for the bus to go there there's a stop next to a place called Pricebusters which you can't really miss as it's quite big and near the tower.
The chips at Harry Ramsdens are so nice, they have a take away if you don't want to sit in the restaurant. I love getting a box of chips and sitting on the prom eating them.
If there's anything else i'll do my best to try and help.
