Best. Feeling. Ever.

Handed in my notice at work, no longer shall I be a slave to the corporate bastards that are Michelin.

Oh and I'm leaving Stoke because that's shit as well.

The drinks are on the nearest n00b with a wallet we can steal.

[Bendy]

Sweeet.

Nick me a Michelin Man before you go.

There's a huge 6 foot one in the reception I want, not quite sure how I'm going to sneak him out, might claim I'm taking him away for maintenance or something. They gave us lots of merchandise the other week in the form of a fleece, mug, mouse mat, picture holder, umbrella and multi tool which was nice, I have a watch and pen set somewhere as well.

So, anyone know what there is to do in York and more importantly, are the ladies a lot better class than the ones in Stoke?

Hi

Good luck. Why have you chosen York?

All the best

Mike's moving there, he offered me a room so I decided to stop putting it off and just go for it, I originally intended to go Leeds but numerous comments from people about Leeds being not a great place and Mike getting burgled twice put me off a bit.

I've heard nothing but good things about York, plus trains go there late at night from Manchester and Brum so it's an ideal place to be for doing stand up gigs since I won't have to keep taking holidays to do them.

York's nice, but it still has its crappy areas.

I think st3v3 lives there.

Its a student city as well (and the uni is a good one - so hot chicks for you ). And like you said - On the East Coast / XC mainline, so Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle are all easy places to get to!

But you know what the best bit is? You'll be able to say you've lived in Yorkshire... only then will you have become a real man

EDIT: And about the Michelin man... Just wait for some noobie receptionist and walk in with a blue overall saying that head office is replacing all the models. Then just walk out as ditzy blonde just stares mindlessy on.

EDIT 2: Seriously.. just thinking about it.. DO IT> Get you and a mate both in blue and a clipboard or something. Then just walk over to her, get her to sign something thats got a Michelin header and then both of you walk out with it.

Hey shaun,


Yorks a really nice place, as shay said, still some crappy areas, but it looks lovely. Not a brilliant night life mind, my mate goes to uni there, and theres hardly any clubs, and not tons of pubs...but to be fair, you dont move to york for the night life


To my knowledge, which I will have to check out soonish, theres a few good roads around york


Youre not far from Squires bike cafe

30 miles from a lovely place we like to call 'Ull (not so lovely, but its ok!)

And leeds isnt bad...and burglaries happen everywhere


Not far from helmsley either, some great roads round there


and shay, Yorkshire, ftfw

York's a beautiful city and a very tranquil place to stay. There isn't much in the way of trouble, not comparable to big sprawling cities. The night life is shit though but for a place to live on a day in day out basis, its lovely, with god people and good scenery.

There is a thriving bike community in York. Sherburn and Helmut has a cracking bikers cafe and you have good rail access to the entire of the UK. Leeds has a blinding club scene too.

My only complaint about York is the house prices.

York is a loverly place, often go their for weekends away but its pretty dear for running cost...
plenty of bar work available (route to nice females) its not really an industrial area.

The truly hardcore (re-read stupid) pack a travel bag with clean clothes, wet wipes, toothbrush and head to Leeds on Saturday. Its not uncommon to see me and other munters getting changed in the street, out of our heads at 9am Sunday morning to head to the next club

I always feel like I am fleeing the scene of a crime after a night (actually night can turn into two/three days, music, weather and people permitting) out in Leeds so maybe its a good thing its twenty miles from where I consider home. Its no good shitting on your own doorstep!

York to live, Leeds to Rave

[Fawbish]

Sounds good to me craig. Garden hopping with your trousers around your ankles at 7am on a sunday morning, and not having the sense at the time to actually remember why you were doing it - Thats some good times right there

Good choice, as has been said, York is great to live in (apart from house prices. Oh and tourists in summer.)

Mudskipper's Guide To Living In York

No fixed speed cameras in North Yorkshire.

Most car parks in the city have bike bays which are free - you can also park free in pretty all the resident only parking areas.

You should give the Evil Eye a visit. Tons of cool 'old man' pubs tucked away too - a far cry from the identikit Flares/Yates drivel-holes.

Don't park your bike next to a river, it will probably flood and float it away.

Chav scum will have an unlocked bike away in most areas (even the nice ones - they will come from the dodgy estates to see what the hardworking people have to steal).

Head south of the city on the A19 to find the B1222, which twists it's way straight to Squires.

As far as the female choice goes - well, it's a student town. I doubt anyone who isn't a hideous freak would have any difficulty pulling.
