Doesn't that make you proud? We are back in the big league. I expect the French are mightily miffed to have lost status. For all that it harboured Khomeini, it used to be dubbed the 'Adolescent Satan' to the
Meanwhile, ISNA does sounds like a rather odd news agency. Way back lost in the mists of time, the student newspapers and the like at my alma mater were more pre-occupied with puffing forthcoming bands, noting the desultory turn out at NUS meetings and listing bar promotions. Still, maybe Iranian students appreciate a little geopolitics in their morning read.

Ooh-err - running the risk of getting bashed with the rolling pin?
If buying The Spectator counts, guilty as charged....
I meant to ask ages ago...what is the constitution.
I went to leeds uni, no danger of being in any politics there, bunch of lefty nutters. Was alway angry that Straw and a couple of other made it from the union into Labour politics.
Leeds really was a dreadful place until quite recently for politics. A good advert now for what a few private sector (mainly FS type) jobs bring prosperity and hope. This in turn breeds conservatism.
Still a long way to go though.
On another note. I saw some dreary propoganda on the beeb the other day about Iranian uni's being chokka with women doing engineering and maths and how this would change the country for the better.
More inherent bias...
Anyway, knew it was rubbish and this proves it. The chances of politics being popular and a uni full of women doing enginerring is la-la land fantasy worthy of Ed Balls.
Aha would that be C scoffing at marital compromise. I believe it would . Coming soon ..

Having atended that well respected establisment you can now interrupt conversations with the line
"Don't talk to me about sophistication, Ive been to Leeds"
To paraphrase Dr Johnson
""Every man thinks meanly of himself for not having been born a yorkshireman or not having at least been born a Lancastrian"
I went to Newcastle and I can honestly say I thought less about poltitcs there than at any time before or since.
Well I was doing an arts subject and would therfore have been attractive to women so its no suprise.
Mr Mania
your postings can on occassions be so annoying I sometimes think that they must have been posted by your wife.

now that was a good episode f the fast show. Too immense joy (and over-quoting)came out when I was there.
Leeds is now very sophistikated.
When I were there t'was £1 a treble at Ritzy's in't City Sqaure, from 7pm 'til 9pm. Pull by 9pm or straight to Jimmy's for stomach pump; there was no third way.
The pump was preferable given local talent...
Whats going on ?I`m doubling up.
The 'sophistication' crack might not have been original, but it still cracked me up. On a related topic, there is a rather splendid mondegreen (qv) for some rather dismal 80s song in which 'I've been to Paradise, but I've never been to Leeds' was misheard for '...to me'.
N - I am all in favour of peace and tranquility among the family Newmania.
yorskshire fast show quotes?
"I say what I like and like what I say"
Now that is Yorkshire
Incientaly I once financed a printing press for a man whose mother owned most of Batley , he ended up going bust and spent a few months in Armley jail for threatening bailifs with a shotgun.
If I have any Northern readers, might they be able to confirm or deny that 'Yorkshire Tea' is still packaged as being 'blended for the Yorshire taste' or somesuch?

he entered a meeting and said

trust me Yorkshire is like that, well bits of commercial Yorkshire are,
That or they look down on the royal family for being common.
most of them make Geoff boycott look like a ray of sunshine.

I always read Yorkshire bitter , as a sentence but then my first wife was from Rotherham .Oh yes I lived the dream....
I wonder if we could swap Yorkshire for the Shetlands at some point in this break up of the Union. We get the oil but they get loads of help moaning about it .
Seems fair
A worthwhile project Mr N, as after all, "It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine", which even The Scotsman conceded has "a ring of truth about it".
I`ve just remembered CU I was knocked unconcious in a club in Leeds . It was in a shopping centre , well under it . Do you know the place. We were discussing Romatic poets , well you know how it is .
Apparently I was saved from a good kicking by a feisty lesbian. I woke up about ten minutes later.
Coo what larks we had.
no idea...sounds like you deserved it though!
Not hard to get a kicking in Leeds. A top 10 of the easiest places to get turned over in the UK would be an interesting read....
Discussing "romantic poets" in rotherham????????
Fuckng hell you are brave.
I like Yorkshire , it suits my split personality
Afternoon tea at "Bettys" followed by a fucking good fight.
If any of you happen to get the chance to visit Bettys I suggest you do so.
Reminds me of a few more anecdotes(york based)
Where is Ollie North when you need him?
I`ve been to Betty`s and it is jolly good. Its a small franchise isn`t it ?In my experience the quickest place to be beaten up is Newcastle .
In the tribal death game of
Sa` tudee neet , women wear no clothes and yet the standard punishment for sneaking a dirty look is facial disfigurement. The onset might be signalled by such war cries as "Ya doity foockin` stoodent".
I saw a knife fight in a club once , it was called Tuxedo Juntion. It could be a tough place.I looked so hard into my drink that istill have scarring in the shape of a beer glass rim.
Yesterdays "Independent on Sunday" described you as "a feisty lesbian" - is this true - have I made a dreadful error?
Mutley- I share many of the same hobbies amd tastes as a lesbian but I am ruled out by reason of gendre.
I wonder if Lesbians look at themsleves in the mirror and get a "wide on".It must be odd to find yourslef sexually alluring. How do you find it PHITCH ?

Very wise C they are a rabble . If only you had been there to advise the Tukish man.."who killed his wife with a hammer and told the police it was because she cooked him noodle dishes for month..."It was unbearable ", he said..."

Remind you of anyone ? I off for zzzz
