Rachie Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 HAHA it was gcse results thursday the first time i went to leeds too. (8 bloody years ago now!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer_andy Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 In 2006 I went to Leeds really early to get the tent pitched with my mates and drink a couple of beers, then to school in York to get GCSE results for about 10am With that out of the way we paced back and were at camp for about midday. That was such a good year So yeah its easy to do both, but if you live out of the are theres no point. Just either go after results or get someone to pick them up for you! Bloody A2 results this year, which I'm not looking forward to, but they're a week before, so leeds will (hopefully) be the ultimate celebration!

mike taylor Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Haha I went to leeds for the first time last year, with AS-Resuts and it was great (with early pass) right up untill thurs afternoon when all the little pubes turned up after they got their GCSEs. In way I feel sorry for you, but in another, more importaint, way I'm glad the pillocks from my school when getting their GCSEs wont be there weds! I have A-Level results too, hmm lets see....

Alex Turner Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've thought we can get them in the morning, and go down on the train mid day-ish to get there on the early pass and celebrate down on the train.

Splinter Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 sounds good to me oh yeah and if your bringing any booze with you to the festival site glass bottles arent allowed. simply cross any spirits into plastic water bottles and itl be fine.

atarisleaalk3 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 newcastle is good although we dont get as many good bands as we should, but hopefully that will get better. we have a carling academy for most bands, an arena for big bands, a city hall for old bands, two uni venues for bands too small to play academy, and te sage for more jazzy and classical stuff. nightlife its pretty good, as is the actual town and that. its no london like, but ace if your looking for something abit 'nicer' quieter and cheaper. i dont acually go to newcastle uni, i go to northumbria, so i cant vouch for the uni itself.

atarisleaalk3 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 hahaha, mint. durham is an awesome uni, but the actual town besides being pretty, isnt much cop. im guessing the student nightlife is probably ok, but theres no music venues or anything. you can get the train to newcastle like, only takes about 15 mins, but i duno how much it would be, or what time they finish etc for getting home after gigs and that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarisleaalk3 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 hmmm, if you could, i would still personally get the train. parking in newcastle aint the best. ive never actually drove in the city centre, the mere thought of it horrifies my slightly!! although people coming from bigger towns might not nfind it so bad. but the academy doesnt have a car park, and all the random car parks in the town cost, so by the time you pay for the petrol, and the parking, the train might actually be cheaper!! anyway, you might not even be going there yet!! good luck!!

Jinzo7 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks for the support . But yarr, guess so. If I'm going to a London uni Car=AutoTrader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarisleaalk3 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 hahaha good plan like. a car would come in handy up here, although i personally wouldnt drive, as the likes off leeds, sheffield, manchester and glasgow are all within a few hours drive. also its nice to drive to the beach instead of getting the smelly metro!!!
