Have noted this down- the second one looks especially good.

Sir, I salute your commitment to the cause
I have nearly lost my toddler whilst trying to take a picture of a bin. At times I regret the bad photo and the return of the toddler.
Trying to get the shadow reflection with camera phone whilst also trying to contain toddler...in theory it was good...
£13.80 for a megarider? Where?! They're nine quid in Hull!
i took loads of mundanity earlier (including the building that Pickman's model wrongly identified as being part of sheffield uni), but i realised i left my phone charger at my friend's last night, and it's gone flat now 
Off into Leeds City Centre now to see if there's anything mundane.

Think you can go to the fleshpots of kendal etc for that. But if you need a wee you are doomed.

The uni campus has lots of boring buildings - the brutalist 60s/70s concrete parts like Earth Sciences, Dental/medical and the like. But if the weather there is as nice as here it might look ok, rather than proper drab as it used to in gloomy weather.

As in 'kill'?
Well we've all seen Logan's Run, and I wondered whether it was true - and here is the proof! Luckily I've dodged the call-up for that for years so far...

Two more pictures of low-tech rag trade signs on a mill nearby.
And I noticed this curious sketch of someone in a first floor window of the same mill.

Just checked the prices in Manchester - £12 for a Stagecoach megarider (south of Greater Manchester), and £13 for the equivalent on First Bus (north of Greater Manchester). The discrepancy used to be larger - stagecoach ones were about eight quid a couple of years back, and first bus the same or more expensive.
Count yourself lucky in Hull!

Tom A and any other manc posters.
We could arrange to have a mini meet-up if some of us are going to one of these. There are quite a few dates for the second one so plenty of flexibility. There's the added bonus of there being a nice real ale pub down the road - the Bulls Head:

I'm going to see Massive Attack and Mogwai as part of the MIF, but those are at other venues. However considering both those events are free I could be very tempted

You can't beat an event where the entrance fee is 'nowt'!
And I wasn't even born in Yorkshire!
Edit - I wasn't even born in the county of 'Yorkshire Yorkshire Yorkshire - we're right, you're wrong'

I have been tasked with posting this on this thread.
ETA: photo didn't load. I'm blaming someone other than me.

My new toy has arrived, and as the battery is fully charged I feel duty bound to take it out to play. Got to collect something from the sorting office so will see what I can see on the way.
And no, of course I haven't read the manual.

It is my mission to hunt out tripe dispensaries in any place I visit, in the hope that you'll eventually be converted to the joys of stomach linings!
I admit I almost jumped for joy when I saw that shop - it is so archetypical of the North.
You're right - rag pudding is of that ilk - sounds a bit odd, and although it says it comes from Oldham, I don't remember ever seeing it on sale there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rag_pudding
to my knowledge there is one chippy still selling them in Oldham, in Greenacres
You can buy these from a butchers etc in Mossley (and other places I imagine but I've never seen them elsewhere)
the Waggon Inn on High St Uppermill used to do a great Rag pud, chips, peas & gravy - was a regular Sunday Lunch call when we lived down the road in Lees.
You could get the train to Greenfield and it is a 5-10 minute walk from there.
Second Hand Bookshop, Museum, Canal etc
Nice afternoon out as long as it isn't raining sideways of course
