Wetherspoon’s have now introduced their new menu, which while almost identical to their old menu, provided us with a good excuse to expand our options for Sunday lunch. I’m glad to say that after nearly five years of campaigning, we have finally got profiteroles on the menu. Win.

Sunday saw us hit Cuthbert Brodrick as usual for lunch but with one important change – George finally having been paid he could actually afford to eat this time! We also saw a guest appearance from Rich as well so it was a rather good afternoon.

Unfortunately due to a series of iritating events it took them an hour to get me a dessert, which resulted in me being quite late for the A-Soc picnic. They had a new lass working behind the bar who took 20 minutes to serve us and once we had done they lost my dessert and had to make it again!

Sunday saw John arrived in Leeds – so it became a race against time to get him moved in, in time to get to Sunday lunch.

It was a race that I lost. But never the less eventually made it down eventually to enjoy our traditional Sunday Wetherspoon’s feast. I say feast, I went for value meal to cut down on spending, but it was still very much enjoyable.

Sunday lunch took the usual form of heading down to the Cuthbert Brodrick for some steak. It’s go great that we can all get together once a week and spend our time together each on our own smart phones browsing the web :D. Good times!

Headed down to the Cuthbert Brodrick this afternoon for Sunday lunch. George, Norm and Lil also joined me in some kind of cartoon style intro (or perhaps the video to The Offspring’s “Why Don’t You Get a Job?”) in which I’m walking towards the pub and people peal in from the left and right to join the procession. Pure coincidence we all arrived at the same time or yet more evidence my life is a real life Truman Show?

In any case we arrived to find that steak was on offer, so that took care of that decision!

Following on from our previous Sundays at Leeds Museum and the Royal Armouries we met up for our usual Sunday lunch today.

I saw we met up for it, I had Sunday lunch, Kate and George had drinks because they had no money and prioritised alcohol over food. Kate assures me this is the choice anyone would make if they had her job though 😀 . Though to be fair if you’re drinking Guinness (not that she was) you probably don’t need food after all.

Afterwards, we headed down to the Leeds City Art Museum and took a look round the first gallery which was reasonably interesting, if only from the perspective of the inequalities in the pricing of works of art. Rubbishly, they don’t allow photos in the galleries, however.

We seem to be rapidly developing some kind of pub sandwich system for Sundays at the moment where we go to the pub, then go do something, then go back to pub.

We kicked Sunday off at the Scarborough Hotel for some lunch which was most enjoyable as their food always is. We did however have to suffer a random pricing structure though in which a pint of coke was charged at either £0.80, £1.20, £1.50 or £2.40 depending on when you went up. Crazy.

Once we had finished up here we headed over to the Leeds Museum before going for more drinks at the Cuthbert Brodrick where we eventually had dinner as well. We also found the almost resident Alex in there as well – she assured us she does leave sometimes but personally I’m not convinced.

Sunday lunch made a much welcome return today though continuing Michelle’s hate campaign against Wetherspoon’s we had to go down to the Scarborough Hotel which provided us with some very nice meals indeed though at the kind of price you have to be prepared to pay at town.

After a short break round the Armouries we then headed to Oracle which was quite nice though it was £2.80 for a pint of orange juice and on top of that the hot girl behind the bar then tried to short change me by a £1! A damning indictment of our education system (I hope).

We’re becoming increasingly annoyed with The Library. The food is sub-standard and quite frankly that is hard to achieve when you run a student pub. It’s not like it’s any cheaper than anywhere else either so they can’t really play that card.

On the plus side though we have some very productive discussions – including the decision to rename Lil to Ubuntu.

Having met everyone at The Library for our usual Sunday lunch fun – including a suprise guest appearance by Rob and Jewish Dan, I headed off with George to move some of his stuff back to Rochdale.

It’s an, interesting place, shall we say. Though it does have a very nice business park on the outskirts which if a second company was ever to take up some of the many arces of land available there would really brighten the place up.
