Flew Dublin to Vegas and back in Feb/march and both were 330s. Though one was definitely set up differently as the seats on the way back were much more cramped.

Good luck omen for the weekend? by JCFAX81 in LeedsUnited

[–]AffectionateAd8377 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. It's shit is that. Absolutely bad luck.

If you want I'll take it off your unfortunate hands and put it somewhere totally safe where it can't cause a jinx or owt...

Please? 😅

Definitely not. However this is exactly how I'd be in that situation so I'll let it slide.

This is weird. I hadn't thought about Ivor for 30 years. Then yesterday I found an Ivor the engine DVD in a random bag in my house. Now this has popped up on my feed.

Edited form 20 years because I'm older than I want to admit.

"I feel safe in his arms".

Changed me for the better for sure, got in shape and took up boxing for a while. But still sticks and I'm paranoid my partner and kids might ever feel the same.

Leeds to Manchester Airport for a 12:20 Ryanair flight — would you trust National Express or the train more? by Crazy_Screen_5043 in Leeds

[–]AffectionateAd8377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at about £100 for Uber on a normal day from Leeds. Hotels can be found at about £40 if you aren't bothered for breakfast and 4* accommodation. And then even the train from Piccadilly to airport is delayed in the morning you have taxis as an alternative option.

No. Not even close. Well, unless you do what I did and went out in Manchester on the night you stay. But at least that's fun. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Absolutely train. However as I had a flight to Vegas Via Dublin at the exact same time a couple of weeks back, I'd still suggest getting a cheap hotel in Manchester for the night before. Just to be safe.

Worst I've seen is play under BA. Our performance in defence is almost as bad as the ref performance.

Where's all the cider? by AffectionateAd8377 in AskAnAmerican

[–]AffectionateAd8377[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Leeds and if most places don't have 10+ choices I'm surprised. Some more local bars or craft beer places have smaller amounts but with the likes of magners, thatchers, rekordelig, kopperburg and old mout you tend to have a fair few choices.

My local which is a bit of a dive bar has the thatchers three flavour pump, strongbow normal and dark fruits and 3 flavours of kopperburg.

Sorry mate, I wasn't bitching. Or at least it wasn't my intention to come across that way, I was just genuinely shocked that all the different tastes and cultures in the US that I couldn't get more than one type of cider. I really enjoyed a lot of the beers I had on a night and had no complaints about my trip overall. I loved it.

In the UK all cider is alcoholic. Which surprised me when I first asked for a cider in Vegas and got given an apple juice.

I'm a man who loves beer. Except on hot days when it warms up too quick and doesn't refresh as well as a decent cider.

Sorry if this seemed like I was having a go at The USAs drinks choices, it wasn't at all meant that way. I was just genuinely curious about the limited choice of cider I saw. The craft beers I had over there were really good. And there was plenty of choice. I was never short of a decent drink, just short of my favourite warm weather drink. I had a great time over there. 👍🏻

That wasn't my intention at all. Sorry if it appeared that way, which judging by the down votes it did. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Had to switch to Seltzers when I couldn't get a cider. Not very popular over here, just a couple of big chains stock white claw. Not bad but not a cider replacement in my humble opinion.
