"Is She Wit' YOU?!" - NYC Retrospective - Sunday

[jeffthelion]

It didn’t feel like Sunday morning when we woke up and had to get a taxi down to the Statue of Liberty, after it took longer than expected to get subway passes. NY taxis are smooth and lovely, once you get over being on THE WRONG SIDE OF THE FUCKING ROAD

Yay! I can just about see part of the sky out of the small section of the window I can see in the picture! Hell of a view! :D

We have a Dunkin' Donuts in Leeds. I haven't been though, something about that much fat and sugar and the speed my body metabolises such things would mean I'd get into the place no problem, but getting out might prove a tighter squeeze.

Haha! There's a better one on the next post, promise :P!

You live in Leeds, New Hampshire, right?! How come Leeds gets one and not Manchester? Ah yeah, your city centre isn't a dump!

If that's the case you may get trapped in your seat, the Dunkin' Donuts staff are trained in greasing up their fingers to prise you out of booths!

Some of it's dumpy, they just hid it behind nice things. It's still there though if you know where to look. You ever want robbed and/or propositioned by a toothless hooker let me know, I'll give you directions.

I actually think the fancying-up of Leeds has ruined it in a way. It's nicer to look at, but there's not much in the way of individuality left. The indy shops that are left put their prices up when the Trinity opened.

Haha! Yeah, I guessed that was the tactic, how else would they afford nice things? They can't be everywhere, it's too expensive. Of course, is there anything better than a toothless blowjob?!

It's a shame when that happens, but those shops and similar creative folks tend to pitch up somewhere else, a bit cheaper and shabbier and do the same to another area of said city. It's happened where you are, in Greenwich Village in New York and the Northern Quarter in Manchester too.

Got to say though, got a wonderful orange devil face t-shirt from a shop in a student-y area of Leeds 15 years ago, it still fits and I still love it!

Kudos for not just screaming TIMMY! when you were asked that question.

Weirdly, I don't think I knew you could climb the Statue of Liberty. I thought it was just something to look at. Huh.

[jeffthelion]

Haha! We'd have probably both been shot for both being 'special' and out on our own!

Almost certainly they don't want to publicise that, the viewing platform in the head is smaller than most pub toilets! If you're ever bound for New York, you have to book months in advance.
