View Full Version : Leeeds
Anyone in Leeds? Lived ere for about 4 years after having gravitated over from sunny Halifax, looking forward to Hyde Park Unity Day next Saturday... one of summer's highlights :p
Ya should get to Unity http://www.unityday.freeserve.co.uk/
What do ya think about the city centre? Used to be a lot better before big time redevelopment... bit soulless in my eyes...
Em what is it? Is it a child friendly event?
I think I'm off to the Mela in Roundhay park tomorrow tho.
The developments in Leeds.... :(
Yeah its child friendly! lots of activities for kids :p Would love to go to Mela but its me Sis's house warming...

i've been in leeds for maybe 3 years now. And i too will be visiting the unity day events.
if you see a really tall man who looks like he is enjoying life too much. say hello!
Personally i don't mind the developments in the centre, its got to grow. And i find leeds to be one of the most friendly places i've been to.
I bloody love it. :D

I've been in L**ds for a year now and living there next year. You can spot me in a bar in Headingley called Trio that I have been in twice and got chucked out once for being completely pissed out of my head and the only reason I didn't get chucked out the other time for the same reason is cos there were too many people in, which looking back must have been pretty embarrasing and is also the reason I only been in twice!

It was loads of bands and djs last time I went - there's plenty of stuff for kids too. It's organized by local co-op types and it's a damn good day out - you should all go! :)

Yeah, have a wander. :)
I haven't been since I left Leeds, but it was more "Urban" - type music in my day. A bit of dub and reggae, some 'world', all sorts really. Don't worry, I don't think you'll find much rnb. It's not a huge event, but it's free, so it'd be rude not to take a look...

'OO' flour is a type of flour used in Italian cookery for pizza and breads.

Nowt wrong with a strong plain flour for bread etc but it falls apart when you try and cook pasta made with it. :(

Looking through that site brought a few memories back - I'd almost forgotten that the Unity stuff happened in response to the '95 riots when the Newlands was burned down.
Interesting times...

Bit of a crazy idea but have you ever considered ready made pasta?!
It has been pissing it down all day and I'm afraid I'm giving the Unity thingie a miss.
Sorry. :(
It's too damn miserable to be standing at bus stops getting soaked... :(
