And the Sunday sun shines down on San Fransisco bay, and you realise you can’t make it anyway
Not much sun shining down “up North”* it has to be said. Got to college okay, but then had to come home again after JNBT was late to the lesson (having been sat in traffic for 2hours), and then college decided to close.
Which is also what the bus station did…so we had to take a train into Nottingham, which was bizarrely clear, and then I got a bus home from there (proper roads less likely to be blocked). At some points, it was erm, well interesting. In a similar way that you might regard being dangled off a cliff as interesting. Not, it should be said, by any fault of the lovely Dolores the driver*, but rather the utter cunts who appear to have got their driving licenses from the Sunday supplement adverts.
Things I have discovered:
Walking in tyre tracks is really really not a good idea.
Running is very cold weather makes me breathe like a dying person.
Zoë’s assertion in the Updates comments was soooooo right…more another time.
*Not my description, but I do have to concede to the describer that it is indeed north of him.
* Yes, it is one of those places where drivers are known by their names.

I thought only people in America were called Dolores.
I know, but she’s the second that’s slipped through the net. The other one is dead though (sadly). Perhaps it’s a Catholic thing, I wonder if there was a St.Dolores who was especially fantastic? *Toddles off to find saints book*
EDIT: well if there was a St.Dolores she wasn’t fantastic enough to make it into the Penguin book of Saints…
You are up north!! Even when I was in Sheffield, you’d have still been ‘up north’ to me. Just the same as we, being south of Leicester, is ’south of the midlands’.
Unless you believe the bbc, in which case we could be anywhere really… east, west, north…
In relative terms yes we are northerly of you, but it’s not The North in big capitals…That’s Yorkshire/Lancashire/Northumberland etc…That was sort of my argument. But as you are from the sarf you are excused for regarding us as up North…The describer isn’t a southerner I give him no excuse.
