Yes, yes!!! Wahoo.

Post by wileykat »

Been lurking for a few days now, signed up yesterday, then been waiting for my activation to say hi.

I start my permanent contract at work today (after more than 12 months struggling to find work, unemployed). So as a celebration gona book a summer trip on the good 'ol credit card.

Been once before (2009), but for that trip i bought a cheap guide book the day before we flew out from "The Works",... didn't realise it was about 4 years old til we were out there. So lesson learnt, getting my research done starting now.

I'll post up dates once confirmed, hopefully meet a few locals or tourists alike.

Peace out.

Yeah man I like grime, but I don't really know many people up in Leeds (Im from Brum) so aint been to any venues here. Any recomendations? I only go Hi-fi once in a while.

I'm in Kirkstall, not far from the Abbey.
