And yes, Wakefield is creepy. It could be worse though, you could have been working in Dewsbury.

If you've spare time in Wakefield, get yourself over to the Yorkshire Sculpture park. The Andy Goldsworthy stuff is awesome.

I did get to see my um... stepsisterinlaw. she and her bf just broke up but they still have to habitate til jan 08. he's Muslim... it's tres dramatic in its way but they were pretty cool; he was there when we got back from pizza exp.

they really love each other but they cannot get past their present circumstances... he won't budge on the religious stuff and she's never going to let her kids be raised in that way. he is bullheaded... and his dad doesn't even know that he lives with a white 'christian' (agnostic) girl. IN SIN.

I said before that I hate secrets. she's too special to be some spoiled guy's secret lover.

oh damn! I didn't remember that you were in Leeds, seanyboy! I srsly would've met up with you. I went in some place called the rose and crown. the barmaid was asking for help because she couldn't draw a pound sign. o_O

My SSIL was WAY over the other side somewhere... I just do it all via sat nav. next time i'm here, ima hit yo ass fo a postcode.

Leeds was where I was called a fat whore (by a North American who shouldn't have called the kettle black) because I wouldn't give up the computer I was using even though another was free. I also had a pork lung starter at a Mod Brit place...it tasted like the rest of the animal.

I'm mostly worried about the socks. Seanyboy, could you send chuck some clean socks by courier?

posted by taz 13 November | 02:43

Socks! Socks are for southerners with their warm headless beer and their pointy hats.

posted by seanyboy 13 November | 02:52

oh god. I was disturbed by the socks...

Now I'm being haunted by images of headless beer. aiiiiii!

Ah, I'm on a proper keyboard now. I am actually working in Boston Spa today (nr Wetherby). The fleabag I was in last night is on the edge of Wakefield.

If you've spare time in Wakefield, get yourself over to the Yorkshire Sculpture park. The Andy Goldsworthy stuff is awesome.

I love his stuff. I had no idea he did installations.

Where's Dewsbury?

Dewsbury's about 6 miles west of Wakefield.

My 'complainant from hell' is from Leeds. I get my own back by always signing my letters to him with my Manchester United pen. I know he doesn't know, but I do, and that makes a huge difference.

Oh - You're that Jan from Essex.
Dang.
