[QUOTE=madnath619;51161457]Alright, are there any Leeds lads here? I need a good priced hotel in or close to the city centre.[/QUOTE]
Last time I was up in Leeds I stayed in the Jury's Inn. Five minutes walk from the busy part of the city centre, not too expensive and the breakfast was top notch.
[QUOTE=Doozle;51162132]Can't go wrong with a Premier Inn. There's two (?) in town, there's one opposite the Arena
There's also a Radisson Blu and a Travelodge. Never stayed at a Radisson (and probably a bit pricier) and Travelodge is normally a bit shit[/QUOTE]
The Premier Inn was expensive as fuck so I kinda disregarded it

Got a pretty good deal on a Holiday Inn right across from the Royal Armouries museum so I'm really happy
On a train headed north today. Help lads. I've not seen a hill in decades. My southern body isn't ready for this.
Pretty sure I've pissed all my housemates off this morning trying to sort my shit out for this trip too. At least two of them appeared with "what the fuck are you doing" expressions. It was before 6am mind. I don't blame them.
the weekend is coming

I keep forgetting breathing through your nose is a thing.

Reading all these uni stories makes me feel old

I honestly didn't know I could produce this much snot. It would be awe inspiring if it wasn't disgusting, expensive for tissues and my nose wasn't hurting so much.
Of course the NHS give me an appointment for an early intervention in psychosis the day I'm in Leeds.
[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;51160220]I've been grouped up with a guy twice for presentations who during the night before it's due, he'd message us saying he's had some family emergency and someone needs to do his slides for him. It was pretty clear he was bullshitting and the lecturer knew about it.
Fucking infuriating.[/QUOTE]
Post on his facebook wall. "Hope your family [insert excuse if he gave specifics] is okay mate. My thoughts go out to them."
I'm in a tralvelodge room and I suddenly start wondering if I packed enough jeans, I only had 1 pair. Then I remembered where I left the other pair.
On my legs.
I'm smart, honestly.
The government has barred foreign academics from advising on Brexit. What the fuck is wrong with these people. This government is disgusting.

Just found out our retirement age will be 68 and state pension of £150 a week (before inflation)
No wonder I'm sort of in the middle of an existential crisis
It should probably be higher than 68 if we don't want to go bankrupt

To get revenge on the government:
Eat healthy so you live till 140 and spend half your life living off of the state
Maybe the world governments will contrive some new reason for a world war to cull the lower classes and make things less expensive, or maybe they don't care since they'll still be able to afford champagne coated hookers eitherway.
a guy came in to my workplace and kept asking if i recognised him over the till
of course i didn't so he kept talking about the fact that he lives life like it's christmas every day (he was very insistent on informing me of this, telling me to look him up)
so i look up 'mr. christmas' about two weeks later and lo and behold:

i don't understand life

You know the original age of 60 was picked because statistically 50% of people would be dead by 60
Went to a small weed event in my town, got some really strong brownies and hotboxed a marquee. Was really impressed how chill the police was, they told us if anyone gave us trouble they will move them on.
Times are changing ☺

im going to strangle you
im no having shitty puns on my watch
I'm sure these puns are sure to tick you off.
I'm dead fam. had a job to yesterday and didn't back til gone midnight. Except I'd woken up a bit after the drive so ended up messing about until about 3:45 and was back in the office for 9:00.
Work was a struggle, wanted to finish early but had too much shit to so. I'm an idiot

Had that weird sort of hungover feeling all day
Went to the Neighborhood festival thing in Manchester the other day. Was decent, besides that I had to neck 2 bottles of wine in about 2 minutes because a venue opened earlier than we thought and the people I was with can't drink with speed.

C'mon. no need to wind him up with clock puns anymore.
These puns are bong out of order, let the guy work.

It's stimulating word play. To weed out the gormless twonks from the intellectuals.
