Stuck in York!
I drink in and around Micklegate every night but cannot place Reflex. However if one is guaranteed a sh*g, I shall make a concerted effort to find it on Thursday (bring my good threads down Thursday morning). -

Stuck in York!
LOL :laugh I tend to keep away from bars with names like Reflex (and bars where men wear dresses too actually) but I may have been. Where is Reflex? -

Stuck in York!
Its an hour from Central Station plus a twenty minute walk. In all its 2 hours each way door to door (i.e. 20 hours a week commuting, and only then if I time it right). Whereas I can stay in digs and take a 5 minute stroll into work. After work I can take a 5 minute stroll into the pub. I often... -

Stuck in York!
Get the 07:20 from Newcastle every Monday. Been to most bars and there are some gems. Mind I went to one bar in the centre last week (just a few minutes walk from the hotel you mentioned earlier) and all the blokes were dressed as women. I didn't realsise at first. I just thought they were... -

Just had a walk into York (i'm now soaked right through) and the Kings Arms is still alive and well. I think I'll be a one bar man tonight (and not the Kings Arms) -

Contracting in Athens
I've got an interview for a 6 to 12 monther in Athens next week. The rate is only about 60% of what I would earn in the UK but I fancy the experience. Has anyone worked there (or currently working). What can you tell me regarding cost of living and tax implications etc. Cheers -

I've got a Hot Date!!!!!
I was in York on my ownsome last night as well. Found two bars selling Sam Smiths at less than 1.40 a pint. Went into one bar absolutely wall to wall with teenage beauties. Had the hotest chicken Jalfraizi (sp) i've ever had and tulip the bed. -

York is great!
As of two weeks time I will be doing my nightly (during the week) drinking in York. I don't live in Sunderland but from what you said on an earlier thread I'd reckon there are 5 or 6 miles between us. Any more tips on pubs in York? :freaky: -

Thanks for the welcome. If I had started yesterday I would have won the Who's in the Most Debt thread. -

I was almost certainly talking Geordie before she was born. Thanks for the advice though. -

York is great!
If you go to York by train you might see me, as according to something you posted yesterday - we live very close. Keep an eye out for a Geordie Oracle contractor (probably older than you) on his nightly pub crawl. -

York is great!
Although I've lurked here from time to time over the years i've never felt an urge to post. I still don't. However since i'm starting a 6 monther in York in a couple of weeks - this thread has obviously caught my attention. Tell me more aboput the bars ... :talk:
