A little while ago I may have said that there is no way that Leeds would ever be better than Manchester..or words to that effect! .....and this post is by no means going back on that sweeping generalisation..yet!
However (dare I say it) I have to concede that Leeds ain't all that bad!
My friend has just got a pretty cool job and moved there! so we planned a big first night out for all of us in Leeds.
Now the ingredients for the best nights out are simple but pretty crucial I think, get the delicate balance right and you have amazing all be it slightly hazy nights, get it wrong and essentially its just a shitty hangover and no one to blame but yourself!
I tend to think the core ingredients for the best nights are;
-(the first one goes without saying really !) The best friends..by this I mean the people that have seen your dance moves and/or with sick in your hair and haven't judged you for it!
-an outfit that you can party hard in and definitely not something you feel uncomfortable in...instant night ruined!
-a good local knowledge...and this includes the bar with the cheapest/best drinks and the bar with the best music/best dance floor!
-a reliable favourite take away (probably/preferably Chinese!)
-a good taxi number!
Unsurprisingly on our first night there we had non of these things!....
However there is only one way to learn and not ones to give up we have chosen trial and error is the best way until we get it right! I guess that means lots of exploratory nights out in Leeds in the future!
One other extremely important thing we also all definitely learnt from our weekend;
If your a guy living on your own and you have three girls coming to stay there are certain things you are going to need! (Or at least warn them that you don't have so that he can be (or attempt to be) slightly prepared!
The list we managed to rack up included;
-a hair dryer!!!
-soap
-spare towels
-a bathroom bin!
-scissors
-straighteners!?
