23 hours in Sheffield

Yes i have returned safe and well from my mini expidition to the 'centre of the Earth' as Oli puts it. I have to say, it is a very pleasant place to while away your time, and it has many sites of interest and a few clubs. Though it should be noted that the nightlife is not that great on a sunday night-unless they let you into the gay bar. Something that alas did not happen.

So...what was i doing for those 23hrs? well here is my 24 style synopsis of my trip
14:42 - Met Oli at the station, and was driven to his very nice house in middle class sheffield!
15:42 - Sat and chatted to Oli for a while over a good cup of tea
16:42 - Ditt and Tom arrived and we set off to watch the football in the pub
17:42 - Football finished and we set off back to Olis house
18:42 - Following another cup of tea, set off in search of food
19:42 - Having been fed in an American restaurant, we went to a pub nearby
20:42 - Met up with Olis friend Gavin in the same pub
21:42 - Met up with Olis other friend Hannah in the same pub
22:42 - Left to go to 'Forum ?!?' (another bar)
23:42 - Went in search of clubs but they were all shut
00:42 - Having tried the gaybar, we headed back via Spar for some food
01:42 - Sat in Gavins house eating, to break the journey back to Olis
02:42-10:42 - 'Sleeping' Time. Kept waking up.
10:42 - Got up and watched Trisha
11:42 - Headed into sheffield for a look round ( and saw pigeons!!)
12:42 - Stood in water fountains in the middle of shffield (see pic)
13:42 - Arrived at Sheffield station to catch the 13:51 train to Leeds.

There, that is the grand summary of my trip. Having got home i then went out with some rahs from cambridge for the night and helped them win a pub quiz! Yay! So it has been a very exciting few days, and a good beginning to what promises to be a very exciting week!

Thought for the Day: The hole of life can either be dug deeper or climbed out of. The spade is always in your hand.

it was gay bar or no bar...if that excuses it in any way!

But you're not even supposed to be drinking... so the question is, why bar?

apparently we needed a membership card but i just think he realised we had been laughing at it a few mins before. I can still go to the bar for non-alcoholic drinks..

yeah the spade is always in our hands, but don't you think sometimes we just end up digging round in a circle and never get out...
that's certainly how it feels sometimes.
