Soda Jerk Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 We had to book a train from Leeds to Aberdeen for a Burlesque performer 2 months in advance and the very cheapest I could get was circa £100 return.Fuck trains.xxFuck trains indeed. I dunno what it is about Leeds, but getting a cheapo advance ticket to Leeds is near impossible. It's actually cheaper to get an advance ticket to Manchester, which is further west and south than Leeds, and get a standard ticket across the Pennines. It's shite, since I need to go there twice a year or so to go and visit family and such. I rue the day I turned 26 and could no longer use my young persons rail card. Why do young people get it so easy? I have less money now than I did when I was 18-25. There should be a late 20's discount card for people in shit jobs like me. The lowlife card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Trains are hoorin' expensive at times but it is becoming my preferred mode of transport for longer journeys nowadays...no need for concentration as for driving, none of the general fannying about involved in air travel....not really fussed about taking a bit longer, ipod on and a book to read, sorted... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowlife card.I travelled through Leeds on my way to Manchester to see Brooooce, was disappointed that I never saw a single Goth, I always thought it was Goth Central...perhaps I really need to move on from 1985...

Soda Jerk Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 It was Goth central up until the mid 00's, when they changed the Corn Exchange from some alt-mall to some upmarket hellhole. Every Saturday the goths would pile outside and sit on the steps, all day, rain or shine. Since that place died, the Goths have died too. No idea where they all loiter anymore.

Flights Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I remember being in Leeds about 2007 and there was plenty of goths. It was incredible. Highlight was seeing a lad with purple hair, a white face, black eye make up, those mental Bolt jeans with chains all over them and top it all off, an Offspring t-shirt.

I went into the head shop there and asked for some rainbow rips and the lassie looked down on me and said "We don't stock novelty items" whilst her partner sneered at me. So i suppose Yoda bongs aren't a fucking novelty then you cretin! I hope they went out of business. Cool story etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Your wish might have come true. I think every shop in there went out of business when it got bought and renovated into some wanky tea shop and art gallery type shithole. Before that, it was still a horrible place apart from the comic shop and the CD stall in the basement, which a man sold obscure punk rock CDs out of flight cases on a fold up table for £5 a go. He had a big boombox and he'd let you listen to any of it before you bought it, since it was all totally unheard of stuff. That guy was the best.

Soda Jerk Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Oh really? I didn't think they had shops like that when it got rennovated, but I only went in once, saw a tea shop and a little stall that sold lampshades. I quickly turned and left, and never went back.Leeds Market is the best market on earth.Brudenell is great too. Star Wars pinball, and £1 a pint Mondays. Pretty sure the family that own it are inbred. They look like mutants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Was approached by a friend of a friend who's looking to move back up here and was wanting me to pass on his CV. Loads of experience, there's an open vacancy that he'd be perfect for but it's not part of the employee referral program. Fuck. Passed it on anyway 'cause I'm a nice guy but it would be nice to get some money from it if he gets the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 How do they decide which roles are and aren't part of the referral program? Seems very odd. Definitely push for some cash if he gets it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Also, I'm with waltz. Mac 'n' cheese is the dog's bollocks. There is a lot of potential for experimentation in there. Why not fry up some onions, a bit of tuna and some green pepper and add it to the mix. Then top it off with sliced tomatoes, breadcrumbs and some more bloody cheese and leave to grill for a wee bit. Mac 'n' cheese is more like a food staple in my eyes. Like potato. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 How do they decide which roles are and aren't part of the referral program? Seems very odd. Definitely push for some cash if he gets it!Apparently it's only hard to fill jobs. So there's a tick box when they fill out the form for HR to create the vacancy, but no-one ticks the box because they don't know if it's going to be hard to fill when they first advertise it. Seems strange. Most other places I've worked it's been open for all vacancies. There's a lot of review on our HR policies just now so perhaps this'll change in the future.On the plus side I spoke to the line manager who's vacancy it is (it's within our department) and he's going to try and sort out some cash for me if the guy gets through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 That's fucking disgusting.It is. It's the reason why I think I don't like Mac and Cheese. Never had a proper home made one. If anyone wants to come and cook one for me, I'm game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
