Not Quite Brideshead Revisited

Ah Leeds! Not quite the Brideshead Revisited but nice to see some bicycle fetishism. A cycle park on the University of Leeds Campus.

I only used Urban75 for the silly games....

You scored 19 Politics, 27 Fluffiness, 37 real life, and 46 hardcore!

Well done! You endured the test. A high score in Politics suggests that you are one of the old school, who remembers when all the boards were red and kittens were but a distant memory. A high fluffiness rating suggests that you love Urban for knitting, kittens and talking to people without punching the keyboard in anger. A real-life score suggests you haven't quite grasped just what a strange creature U75 is, and a high hardcore rating is quite obvious. Now, get thee hence to U75!

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 0% on Politics You scored higher than 30% on Fluffiness You scored higher than 70% on un-urban You scored higher than 60% on hardcore

Philosophy Sucks! Don't do it Kidz!

Ludwig Wittgenstein You scored 55 realism, 61 rationalism, 61 materialism, and 38 atomism!

Your philosopher is Ludwig Wittgenstein (April 26, 1889 – April 29, 1951), an Austrian philosopher who contributed several groundbreaking works to modern philosophy, primarily on the foundations of logic and the philosophy of language. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. When faced with a problem, your first reaction is to analyze it, to work through the details and try to find the underlying cause. You are not one to be influenced by dogma or theology, yet you know that the world is more complex than most people think - the world is, indeed, more than the sum of its parts. Even logic and reason themselves come under your steely gaze, and you are likely to think that all knowledge is contingent - we believe what we believe because it allows us to get along with others, but there's usually a different reality lurking just beneath the surface (one that you understand and others merely guess about).

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 65% on realism You scored higher than 72% on rationalism You scored higher than 96% on materialism You scored higher than 30% on atomism

HAPPINESS IS HAND PULLED

I popped into the White Horse on Town Street in Armley for a bit of research (no really there is an interesting old map of Leeds) and noted that the old sign saying “HAPPINESS IS HAND PULLED” was gone. Evidently it was not dead but resting a bit. I was alowed to take a picture which is below.



No doubt Harold is spinning in his grave….
