Guest Had Enough Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 peter - 2013-11-20 10:10 PM Frank's only got iron rings in the walls of his cellar at home, where he and his pals indulge in a little bit of S&M at the weekend. To relieve the stresses of the working week. (lol) (lol) :$ :$ :$ I look back on my schooldays with great fondness. Being caned on the bottom by a middle-aged woman, something you pay good money for later in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Dave225 - 2013-11-20 6:03 PM I thought it was 'city of comedy' but then again they have the biggest fool in the UK living there. They better not allow any attractive girls near the place for safety reasons. All you MH owners can pop along, park for free no doubt and enjoy the sophistication on offer. Alternatively just get on the P&O ferry and enjoy Europe, not a lot of difference methinks?? Who are you talking about regarding the 'fool'????? As for parking, Hull city centre is easily accessible, with Tesco having a large store in the town with free parking for 2 hours and MHs will fit in a some of the bays, even some of the undercover ones! Thanks to those with positive comments, as for the others, you can laugh if you want but Hull is actually a very nice place to live, for example I know that lots of students who come to study at Hull University really love the place and quite a few don't leave once they've graduated as the place is so nice, friendly and relaxed. We have lots of lovely areas, yes some are not so nice but you get that will all cities, but the people themselves are very friendly and that is what sets us apart from a lot of other places. Hull has changes a lot in the last 10 years and the place has lots of things for all types of people with all types of interests. What annoys me is the number of people who knock Hull who have either never been or haven't been for a long time ... we are always getting 'bad' publicity and being the butt of many comedians' jokes but I wonder how many of them have ever visited and seen the 'true' side of the city? We have many museums/galleries and places of interest, some lovely architecture but unfortunately Hull was very badly bombed in WWII so a lot was also lost - only London was bombed more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_Blitz If you haven't been then give Hull a chance, some info here: http://www.visithullandeastyorkshire.com/attractions/default.aspx http://www.visithullandeastyorkshire.com/hey/visit-hull.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowtelse2do Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 I delivered once a week in to Hull for about 5 yrs. The best time was spring when all (nearly) the roads are lined with pink blossom. I told my mother who was a keen gardener, "you want to see it" she made me take her" *-) Spent a nice afternoon in Barton on Humber afterwards, she wanted to go over the bridge. The things you do for your parents. :-D Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliB Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Joking apart we actually like Hull. We use the Hull Rotterdam ferry for most of our trips into Europe. We usually have a meal somewhere in Hull and then board the ferry about 7:00pm. If you are lucky, which seems to be every time we sail, you get some superb sunsets looking back from the ferry at the Humber bridge. We have always found a nice restaurant for the meal . For us our holiday starts in Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull has changes a lot in the last 10 years and the place has lots of things for all types of people with all types of interests. I must admit that on first hearing the news I was quite surprised, but then it was the late 80's when I worked in Hull, at that time there might have been a few 'green shoots' but generally the place was a dive. The son of a friend of ours went to university in Hull 10 years ago, brought a house dirt cheap, now that house has increased in value dramatically and he rates it as a good place to live.

Dave225 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I also agree that joking apart I am sure there are a few nice parts of Hull that i have never seen. I do admit that getting off the ferry at 8.45 am and still be stuck in traffic 2 miles away at 9.45 am has never endeared me to the place too much. However, I do agree that 'Hull is the start of the holiday' especially when I am sitting on the boat with a glass of wine in hand watching the Humber disappear. As for supporting the break up of the UK it is for sure that no one will come out of it better off but there is also a fear up here that win or lose, we will get screwed yet again. No one from any side will actually tell the truth so nobody can make a reasoned decision. For that reason alone I suspect we will vote to stay in but then afterwards we will be shafted completely by the Labour Government in Westminster. Now maybe Baldrick (Salmond) has a cunning Plan B but he has yet to inform us of it. As for being a member of a soon to be extinct breed I could refer you to the last election held here in 2011. The Conservative Party despite having a totally useless leader managed to receive 14% of the votes compared to the Libbies who only manged 8% so although no sitting MSP's they still had quite a lot of support. This was on a total turnout of 50% which is better than Westminster can manage. It is ironic that the Libbies who have campaigned throughout the years on proportional representation as they felt it would give them power, now feel it might not be such a good idea as they lose power. The bottom line is that many people still have associations with what that C Party used to stand for and see the others as a catastrophe so probably vote with a peg on the nose. It also explains why the SNP got so many votes as 'they were none of the above'. Labour managed to destroy everything they touched over the generations and people finally saw through them. Of course in any Westminster election the Scots will still probably vote Labour as they see no point in the SNP being there. So you English have a choice. Keep Scotland in the UK and keep a Labour Government or let us loose and keep a Tory Government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
