Maybe we need to do another proper drinks in Birmingham...

Just seen your reply...yep i'm up for a few beers in Brum, it will be easier if in the next two weeks as my new conract starts after this.

On a side note, i was actually standing a few feet away from you last week (Friday?) when the fire alarms went off. Was going to say hello but someone started bending my ear.

(We sometimes share/have use of an office with one of the developers on the ground floor as it makes for a good meeting place for clients, rather better than our industrial unit. Although I'm only there once every few weeks).

Living there, I would have to agree with the general consensus that it is a sh!t hole, but i've been to worse - current clientco town is a much bigger sh!t hole.

I've worked in Leeds and frankly I'd take Sheffield every time. The place has had a shedload of regeneration cash thrown at it and it shows.

Went out there weekend before last and got lost looking for the restaurant we booked. Had no problems asking for directions and didn't feel at all uncomfortable walking about the center after dark.

I'd take Leeds over Sheffield. You get a better class of hooker in Leeds.

Just had a night out in Brum - ok a monday but god it was tulip - city is on a par with Sheffield as Dumpsville UK and all pubs were crap. One guy danced in front of us like he didn't know what day it was - it was Monday and 19:30 ffs...

And another pisshead when we walked past the O2 Academy insisted it was Tuesday, not cos we asked, more cos he was on drugs and out of it.

I live in Leeds and have no particular affection for Leeds, but it's eons better than Brum.

Don't put yourself down.

You're one of the most exciting posters on CUK. You make Wilmslow look dull.
