Trip to Oxford/Cambridge Nov 24/25

Hoi zaeme! (= hi everyone :-)

Hector and me are planning to go on a trip to Oxford and Cambridge for the last Nov weekend.
Right now I've had a pretty long session looking up fares and times. I came to the point that the best solution should be the following one:

+ 24/11 Leeds-Cambridge by train 8:15-10:44 £22.5
+ watching Cambridge, the Uni, having fun, whatsoever £0.0 :)
+ staying overnight in Cambridge YH £16.5 B&B
+ 25/11 Cambridge-Oxford by coach 8:10-11:25 £9.0
+ watching Oxford&the Uni there
+ 25/11 Oxford-Leeds by train 19:36-0:15 £20.5

The main problem from my point of view are the partly long travelling times and the price.
That means costs in a whole would be roughly £70 plus sth to eat there. But on the other hand, for one weekend it's actually not that bad.
I also tried to do the trip the other way round but fares and times were not so good. I furthermore had a look at fares&times for weekend trips to just one of both destinations. The travelling times would be even worse but the costs would be up to £20 less.
I'm happy about comments, better solutions and people who want to join us!
Have a nice week ...

Kirkstall abbey

I want to go to kirkstall abbey on saturday the 20th. It is a huge church in ruins, surrounded by plains with grass and such.

If anyone wants to join, I will probabily be leaving at 11(although the definitive time depends on friday night :P) and returning 2 or 3 hours later. The place is just 35 minutes away from st marks, via walk and bus. I dont know the price for the bus ticket but it will be something around 1 or 2£.

See you!

Block E Cocktail: The recipe

Here is the recipe for the original, one and only Block E COCKtail®.

The most important ingredients (You need them to make it work):
  • Vodka (or something stronger) We really encourage you to use Morrinov or something even cheaper.
  • Coffee : Better if its old, bad done, or with muddy water.
  • Ice cubes. 3 or more per pint.

Optional ingredients(Add as many as you want, minimum of 2)
  • Fruit squash. Any flavour will suit.
  • Coke or other soft drinks.
  • Use your imagination.

Mix it all together and enjoy your drink!

To make the taste better it really helps to have some beers previously.

We are not responsible for any crazy dancing, kitchen damage, hangovers etc this cocktail may cause.
