[Challenge was to spend over a tenner and manage to eat it all.
My recollection of 1990s Bradford curry house meals is that chapatis were provided as a free accompaniment with more being offered if you ate the ones provided. So "eating it all" would, I guess, entail depleting global wheat  stocks!

I expect you are right, I think I forgot that detail.

Carpet bagging potential maybe with Skipton Building Society which is well capitalised so possible £2k to each member if it does demutualise. They have close ties to Barclays. There’s a 4% bond that confers membership and I believe £500 is the minimum to be a member. No downside so worth a punt IMO.

Anyone know if Steve Dunning's dyno Super Furry Animal at Slipstones has had a repeat?

Surprised at this if no-one?

Not weird, but mainstream. Does anyone in climbing actually call him "Toby the terminator"?

From the way it's written, I'd guess the commentator (was it Matt Groom?) said it as an offhand comment on the Edinburgh livestream.

Never heard it myself, but since Natalie wrote the article, I'm inclined to believe it's not completely fabricated... I hope  ;D

Bit of a niche one, but don't suppose anyone has a copy of Pat Aments 2009 film 'The Disciples of Gill'?

Yes, I do! Delayed reply because I had to locate it and retrieve it -- didn't want to make any promises until I knew I could actually lay hands on it. Do you want to borrow/copy it?

Ah that's amazing, thanks so much for digging it out! Yeah I'd love to borrow it if that's ok? I'll drop you a DM.

Bradford has some diamonds in the rough (science and media museum, theatre, brilliant curry/Persian restaurants etc).
Don’t forget Waterstones (in the former Wool Exchange building). Worth a visit just for that IMO - doubters just google it, particularly the interior. Lots of other amazing architecture remains from its heyday if you look above the ground floor signage. Shame a lot of the best in the centre got demolished.
