Shows how s*** hull is.......

[ComedyPilot]

Interesting RR and sort of backs up my 'instant theory' on reading this thread earlier.

What is it about certain places that people don't like?
Slough
Hull
Burnley
oh - and of course, Lundun.

Seems that if it has a u, it's 'Non-U'

UK?

I've still got Ilkeston and Slough up my sleeve

Have to put myself down as a Hull lover

I worked there 4 years and loved it.
It doesn't smell of fish (You're thinking of Grimsby)

The Avenues are where I lived was the nicest area I've ever lived and I've had to move around a lot in my job

Princes Ave was great (this was 10 years ago) - loads of small independent and interesting shops, amazing buildings in the Avenues, Pearson Park

The old town of Hull is amazingly nice considering the bombing it took in the war.

Worse places I've lived - Liverpool / Bradford / High Wycombe

I'm a "likes Hull" guy as well. But I spent an idyllic time there studying/cycling/playing rugby so I probably have a better view of it than most. I also went to Spiders nightclub but I didn't get thrown out. Beer and curries were cheap and the pub crawls were great. "Everything but the girl" come from Hull around that time as I recall, so it's not all bad. I got to see some great Northern Soul acts up there as well - Edwin Starr stands out from memory. But you couldn't leave a beer at the table otherwise someone would steal it. Money was tight and the miners were on strike. Off for the weekend to Lundun on student demos. Cheap Newkie Brown in bottles. Jumpers for goalposts.

Good memories.

The fine young cannibals were from there as well.

I used to walk past Roland Gift doing Tai Chi in Pearson Park every morning on the way to work.

Dudley
It's the 2nd largest town in Britain (Reading is 1st), and despite that dazzling claim to fame it doesn't have a railway station.
It does have a fine Silurian sea fossil mound, in the middle of a housing estate, and an impossibly grim zoo.

It used to have, down by the (clue) Station Hotel. Thank Doctor Beeching for the fact that it's not there any more.

I am not from Hull origanaly we moved here when I was a kid. It at the arase end of the m62, it smells of fish and there are scrotes every where.... If i get the chance I am moving out.

LOL with client chance it going to Flood ne way so it a win win!

I take it you wasn't flooded then? or involved in anyway (as I was) with the poor guy who lost his life.

You are perfectly entitled to your opinions of Hull but give a bit of thought before making truly inappropriate comments.

 

[The Riddler]

Well we almost got flooded and yes it may of been a bad choice of words, and I appologys for what I said. But that still dose not negate the fact that Hull is a dump, it at the arsh end of the m62.

 

[The Riddler]

And with climent chance there is the chance that Hull will get flooded. That why I am looking at moving to highter ground or leaving the UK, Aus and NZ are nice. To be honest it true what they say about Hull been unhealthy most people when you see them walking down the street have a sig in there hand.

WOW and they want to give a posative helth image of the city Sorry but that the last thing that this city has. Have you sean the amount of pubs and take out on beveley road and in the city center.

No wonder hull class as the obease capital of the uk.

Good luck in New Zealand Riddler, and don't forget to log in here and say how wonderful New Zealand is, ta.

 

[The Riddler]

What that comment for just because I am pointing out some facts about Dull.....

 

[gavintc]

No, Aperitif is right, New Zealand would be a good option. I would be fascinated to hear what you think about it.

Is this a lap dancing club?

I quoted for some work at a place, a lap dancing club, by the same name in Leeds.

Naturally after seeing the manager I made my excuses and left.
