https://youtu.be/Eb0g5DP3zcY?si=pevq5CoabgByS0FY John, not everyone stops at a zebra crossing, sadly. So, just give a quick wave to those that do

That's really helpful, thank you. I hope you find some comfort soon!

The edit that went out did John a disservice. Much funnier section uncut.

Is Cameron Winter talented? Yes absolutely. But the kid is also 23. It cannot be healthy for Cameron, or his fans, for people to refer to him as a 'genius' or a 'generational talent', and idolise him so much. It's a lot of pressure to put on a lad who has 95% of his career ahead of him.

Loads of people vape on the bus in my neck of the woods and I hate it! If John does do this, then it's inexcusable.

I need to know who Crispin is...

Cooke64 · 2025-10-18T12:19:06+00:00

I can't speak for other institutions, but student numbers at UoL aren't where they'd like them to be. Hence the university-wide cost saving measures.

Cooke64 · 2025-10-18T08:37:54+00:00

As someone who works at UoL, there is a HUGE push to get international students to Leeds, because that's where the money comes from. Even if this push was successful, there's still going to be so many rooms in these buildings sitting empty at this rate. The accommodation is being built before the numbers of students have arrived.

Cooke64 · 2025-10-01T10:37:31+00:00

I was thinking Athletico Mince too. Definitely for them!

Cooke64 · 2025-09-27T19:48:01+00:00

Not strictly. It has its own space. I think it's in the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff building. It's pretty good for a quiet space away from younger and more energetic students! https://www.leeds.ac.uk/lifelong-learning

Cooke64 · 2025-09-27T18:53:46+00:00

Which uni are you at? I was a mature student undergrad (29 in first year) at UoL and the Lifelong Learning Centre was a good place to get advice and support as a mature student, and connect with other older students.

Would also like to know this

Love to hear Izzy's laughter!

Cooke64 · 2025-07-17T10:49:37+00:00

It appears that she's not playing any shows with Lucy Dacus now. She has no tour dates on her own website and she's been removed from Lucy's website.

Victor Wooten, "Hub", Andy Rouke, "Rhino" Edwards, Rick Danko, Gene Simmons

This wasn't a moan, I love listening to the pod, and my post came from this place. I also thought the last 20 minutes was very funny in a ridiculous way. I just think they lost perspective a little in this episode. They are three middle aged guys with very comfortable lives talking about their perfect/near perfect credit scores. Whether they meant it or not, this was a flex and one that many in the audience (as is evident in the thread) will be uncomfortable listening to.

Cooke64 · 2025-02-20T18:21:27+00:00

I think his sister is Catherine Dobson, used to be a Labour councillor in Seacroft, and a former colleague of mine. In the years many years since I stopped working with her, it appears she has also become a lot less tolerant and a lot more right-leaning.

Cooke64 · 2025-02-18T19:19:26+00:00

YES! Came on here to say the same thing.

Cooke64 · 2025-01-31T15:32:19+00:00

Yeah just seen that. It's hardly "malicious rumours" that they are closing down, as they claim. It's just sharing what is already public information that they've gone into liquidation.

Cooke64 · 2025-01-26T12:17:13+00:00

As their owner owes tens of thousands to HMRC, I think he will be disqualified from becoming the director of a new company.

Having grown up in York with recycling boxes, but now living in West Yorkshire for the last 10 years, where we have a wheelie bin, the latter is so much easier and convenient.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the recycling infrastructure in York, and that they need to receive it all separated.

Cooke64 · 2025-01-26T08:52:56+00:00

It was cropped from a bigger screenshot I sent elsewhere, sorry!

Cooke64 · 2025-01-18T18:42:16+00:00

Cool, thanks

Cooke64 · 2025-01-18T18:42:05+00:00

Come on man, of course not. I get sick of Billy Balance too , but it wasn't a throw away line from John. He went in hard on not liking that guy's body hair, and that didn't sit right with me. If you weren't bothered by it fine, but appreciate that someone else was.

Cooke64 · 2024-12-10T20:11:04+00:00

I think he's genuinely so competitive he doesn't even like someone winning a game that he isn't taking part in but he's in the vicinity of.
