There are only 10 types of people in the world -those who understand binary, and those that don't.

There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

This week is going well already.Someone who clearly doesn't know Leeds wrote a piece in last nights paper about several fast food delivery drivers being robbed by the same lad in that well known "North Leeds" suburb of Whinmoor.And in tonights paper there is the best part of a page telling us how great Tesco's store at Bramley is (which could very easily have been written by someone in the Tesco marketing department and then cut 'n' pasted into the paper), masquerading as a news article.

Not North Leeds as many accept but not really East either, sort of, North East don't you think?Tesco - that's exactly why organisation issue formal Press Releases, always written in a general sense allowing easy lifting whilst still 'looking' original - my Dept is a past master at that

East End Park, Burmantofts, Ebor Gardens, the top side of Harehills, Gipton, Halton Moor, Halton, Seacroft, Cross Gates, Swarcliffe, Whitkirk, Austhorpe, Colton etc, so I'd see Whinmoor as East Leeds.Although using my definition you'd also include Garforth, Swillington, Barwick in Elmet, Allerton Bywater and Kippax (amongst others) who I can't see would take too kindly to that description, perhaps.In fact it could be classed as much of the area that used to get the Skyrack Express!But I could well be wrong and it's all open to interpretation isn't it?

Ravioli, ravioli followed by ravioli. I happen to like ravioli.
