      Are the many in Leeds? A social occasion could be put together?

        Stek lives in Leeds during the weekend, I work here commuting daily most of the time, SimonMac is local, NLUK visits when we have a do.

        Looking at doing something early Feb but haven't got round to it just yet. Probably looking at Feb 3 / Feb 10th so Stek can attend...
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          A bit knackered today so just went to the local Scottish where I had a couple of beef patties, bacon, some salad with fried potatoes...

          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Keep me posted, would be good to put faces to keyboard warriors :P

            My drive from Chester to Leeds took 1hr 10min today but I did set off at 1100. Shame it would be 2hr 10min if I set off at 0800.

              I live close, but currently working nearer to Bristol than Leeds and I don't do long range daily commutes

              Tbh nearer to 3 hours at that time of the morning, getting round Manchester is no joke and the 16 miles Halifax to Leeds can easily take an hour +

                Now I'm working from home I may be persuaded to turn up for a Leeds meet. Make it somewhere within staggering distance of the station though

                  I did a year in Leeds and finessed about 18 months ago. Guy I was working with was coming in from south of Manchester by train every day. He was dead on his feet after 3 months.

                    I'd like to finesse a contract. Any tips?
