Subject: Hull - City of Culture From: Kampervan Date: 20 Nov 13 - 02:45 AM Surprise result? K/van |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Nov 13 - 03:15 AM Kampervan, don't you have a link or something to enlighten us? Maybe this one will suffice. Whatever the case, I have to say that I, a Californian, thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Hull. Les from Hull gave us a wonderful tour along the path marked by brass fish on the sidewalk, and I saw a lightship in the -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Kampervan Date: 20 Nov 13 - 03:45 AM Joe The announcement had only been made about 3 minutes before I posted and so I didn't have a link, but yes, yours is a good start. I'm sure there will lots of other sites soon. I think that most people didn't think that Hull stood much of a chance because it gets a lot of criticism (much of it unfounded). One organisation even said that Hull should be closed! But it's got a great musical tradition to go with its fishing industry and this announcement could help it tremendously. Other than that, having been brought up in Grimsby, traditional rivalries prevent me from saying anything too complimentary, but I did visit Hull quite often and it does have some good things going for it. Cheers K/van |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Musket curious Date: 20 Nov 13 - 04:00 AM I spend a lot of time in Hull. I see all sides of the place and reckon it needs a break. Glasgow was a city of culture with its less celebrated areas and so should Hull. Philip Larkin. William Wilberforce. .... Most days I cross the Humber Bridge and still look forward to the views as you start to cross. Yeah. Good for them. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 20 Nov 13 - 04:17 AM It is not permitted for a city to be nominated twice. That means that every city will get a turn however much of a shit-hole it may be. (Not saying that Hull is, just....) |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST Date: 20 Nov 13 - 04:27 AM After all every city has some culture hidden - somewhere... |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Acorn4 Date: 20 Nov 13 - 04:50 AM Congratulations to Hull. Well done on the bid. We missed out in Leicester - couldn't compete on the shanty front I suppose!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Nov 13 - 05:11 AM Now, did anybody mention the award-winning loo that they had in Hull, or don't they have that loo any more? I Googled for pictures of that picturesque loo with its hanging plants and all, and didn't find it. Could it be that the loo has been removed? I come from Racine, Wisconsin, another city with a serious inferiority complex, so I immediately took a liking to Hull. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: banjoman Date: 20 Nov 13 - 05:39 AM Only ever visited Hull once and found it a very fine city with much to commend it. Well done - thoroughly deserved |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Michael Date: 20 Nov 13 - 05:57 AM "Hull has its own sudden elegancies. People are slow to leave it, quick to return. And there are others who come, as they think, for a year or two, and stay a lifetime, sensing that they have found a city that is in the world yet sufficiently on the edge of it to have a different resonance." That quote from Philip Larkin, read by Tom Courtenay in the City of Culture bid video, rings true for Mary and me; we came for three years in 1974 and are still here.And very happy with the city and it's culture. Well done to all involved. |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Rob Naylor Date: 20 Nov 13 - 06:09 AM Where is this "Hull" of which you speak? The name of the city is Kingston, Kingston upon Hull! The river's called "Hull", the city ain't :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: selby Date: 20 Nov 13 - 06:51 AM Well done 'ull richly deserved Keith |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST Date: 20 Nov 13 - 06:54 AM Yes, yes, yes, the full official name is as you say :-) However the name is good enough for the city council - see Hull C C website, for the University of Hull, for Hull F.C. and for most of the residents. So it's good enough for me. Have a great day Hull. It's a good excuse for a drink and a song. k/van |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Rob Naylor Date: 20 Nov 13 - 07:14 AM The "ert" was Robbed. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Rob Naylor Date: 20 Nov 13 - 07:24 AM Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Hull Clinical Commissioning Group Named after the river rather than the City? :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: cooperman Date: 20 Nov 13 - 08:06 AM It's 'ull but anyone dropping the h will now have to face the culture police! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Musket Date: 20 Nov 13 - 08:08 AM No. Named after the city. The NHS has a habit of agonising over titles, not that you'd notice... Say "Kingston" in Hull and people will say yes, I pay my phone bill to them. (Interestingly, Hull is the legal name of the former. NHS trusts are (I'm being boring now) in law statutory instruments under The NHS Act 1977. So the official title is "The Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Act 1998". So the law and indeed Parliament recognise Hull as a geographical entity....) Now go and find your missing "ert." Missing things in Hull usually end up on The Bransholme estate, so unless you want to bid for it on eBay next week, I suggest you pop over now get looking! ;-> |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Michael Date: 20 Nov 13 - 08:26 AM It's not missing it's just gone ert on rerd. Mike |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,OldNicKilby Date: 20 Nov 13 - 08:55 AM Well I suppose it was inevitable as Yorkshire seems to want everything. They have pinched this from Leicester and they want to purloin Richard as well. Keep your thieving Tykish hands off, Dave (aka Acorn 4) may be quite sanguine about it as a non Wooley Back, but I aint M'Ducks |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 20 Nov 13 - 09:08 AM At school in the 50s we Hullensians were always told that Hull was the third largest port in the country after London and Liverpool. Times have changed but any city that can boast both the Watersons and The Housemartins can't be all bad culturally. Not to mention Mick Ronson and most of the Spiders from Mars as well as Tom Courtenay singing the original version of Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter. R |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Big Al Whittle Date: 20 Nov 13 - 09:26 AM sir jOhn's efforts recognised at last. |

|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: MikeL2 Date: 20 Nov 13 - 10:41 AM hi Well done (Kingston-upon)Hull. Many fond memories spent there in my RAF days. Great place for entertainment of all kinds. And lots of lovely villages close by....at least there were circa 1960 !!!! The spotlight will be on now and I expect that the City will be "tarted up" ready for the future sightseers. Didn't do Liverpool any harm. Cheers MikeL2 |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: greg stephens Date: 20 Nov 13 - 12:12 PM Congratulations to Hull indeed. And particularly to Sir JOhn, who I hope may condescend to visit us again. Mudcat was a funnier place when he was in residence. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Joe G Date: 20 Nov 13 - 12:40 PM Excellent news - I really like Hull - great museums, great pubs, fantastic buildings (especially if you look above the shop fronts), nice people and a wealth of musical heritage continuing through to today! Well done Hull! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Michael Date: 20 Nov 13 - 01:09 PM Note for Joe offer: the loo you refer to would be the one on the pier, near the Minerva pub, it's still there and open and still decorated with plants.I couldn't find a photo either. Mike |

|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Guest Date: 20 Nov 13 - 03:07 PM Pleased would be too inadequate a description of how I feel about the award. However, I do have reservations and hope that the city makes a better job of running this celebration. It certainly bombed with its 700th charter anniversary in 1999 when the person chosen to organise that event left before the event happened under something of a cloud. In the end very little happened for the relatively large amount of money thrown at it and most people in Hull would have difficulty in even knowing that such an event did occur. |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,old git Date: 20 Nov 13 - 03:08 PM so...is the Sea Fever festival coming back?? |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Steve Gardham Date: 20 Nov 13 - 05:03 PM Good question OG! I note several councillors were bleating about Hull's maritime culture on the box. They can speak the speak but...... The short answer is, we haven't given up yet despite Terry bleeding Geraghty and his team. Of course we deserve it. Some bloody marvellous stuff at some of the Freedom Festivals, The Clipper Race start, The Deep, KC stadium. And Rob, we haven't been a King's town since we told one of them to piss off during the Civil War. Ull is Ull and ever will be. Joe, if you ever decide to come back to Ull let us know and we'll have a jar. |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Ebor_Fiddler (Well-known pedant) Date: 20 Nov 13 - 05:45 PM Do NOT mention the word "bombed" in KoH Guest Guest. Tact, man! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Steve Gardham Date: 20 Nov 13 - 06:26 PM Ah, yes, the bombs! Me mam was at the pictures during the Blitz period when she had a funny premonition in the middle of the film. She convinced her mates to leave with her and a few minutes later the whole place was flattened. A few years later as a toddler I was larkin around on the bombed buildings at the end of our street when somebody threw a half brick and split me head open. Well, that's my excuse! It's okay to mention the bombs now. In fact there's a marvellous exhibition of the whole show down Whitefriargate. |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Bluegrassman Date: 20 Nov 13 - 09:21 PM Loved Hull, lived there for a few years in the sixties when I was working on Humberside on various oil plants. I had a look around the old place a few years back and was very impressed with the changes. The marina area is fantastic, changed a lot since I used to go to work every day on the Wingfield Castle and a few other paddle steamers. Some good old pubs around the docks, marvellous....Good look with the City of Culture venture.... |

|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Jim McLean Date: 21 Nov 13 - 06:30 AM Yes, congratulations, well done. Interestingly, the Scottish press are reporting claims by the opponents of an Independent Scotland that Dundee failed in its bid because the judges feared Scotland might leave the Union! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 21 Nov 13 - 09:38 AM Talking of bombs: My Dad and grandparents lived down Mulgrave street in the witham area of the city. It was bombed in the great raid of 1941 killing my grandad and there is still a gap in the houses where their's used to be. R |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Jack Blandiver Date: 21 Nov 13 - 03:36 PM Jim Eldon's from Hull. He's my favourite folkie ever bar none. Listening to him is an unalloyed joy and his song & ballad repertoire reflects a lifelong passion that nudges him (easily) into the National Treasure bracket. Check this variation of The Wife of Ushers Well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFsakSeVZV4 |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Jim McLean Date: 22 Nov 13 - 11:31 AM I' m afraid that dreadful off tune fiddle playing put me off, Jack. |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: fat B****rd Date: 22 Nov 13 - 02:14 PM Well done, 'ull, Could somebody mention Alan Plater and The Watersons, please. Charlie (from Cleethorpes) |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: selby Date: 22 Nov 13 - 06:16 PM There has been lots of lists in the media about Hull and its past, the one they have not got is, 100 years ago my Paternal Granny was working in the Minerva as a barmaid Not many people know that :-)))) Keith |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Guest Date: 23 Nov 13 - 12:06 PM Can't remember what I wished to say but it must have offended someone! Touchy souls. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Guest Date: 24 Nov 13 - 04:48 AM John Alderton (Please Sir) is from Hull. He was at Kingston High School at the same time as Tom Courteney although in a lower form. More relevent to this platform, Malcolm Storey (Whitby Folk Week) is also a Hull man. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Guest Date: 25 Nov 13 - 04:33 AM Just for the record. John Prescott is NOT from Hull even though he was a long standing MP in a VERY safe seat. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Musket Date: 25 Nov 13 - 06:04 AM You don't have to come from Hull to be the mouth of the Humber....... |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: KEVINOAF Date: 25 Nov 13 - 08:09 AM from Hull and Hell and Halifax good God deliver me! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Steve Gardham Date: 25 Nov 13 - 08:42 AM So according to that one, Hell is to get the next City of Culture award? |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Les from Hull Date: 25 Nov 13 - 12:07 PM Well KEVINOAF have you ever been to Hull or Halifax? There's no point in altering old quotes if you've nothing to add on the subject, either positive or negative. And if you've not been to either Hull or Halifax, there's always the third option! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: KEVINOAF Date: 29 Nov 13 - 05:01 AM been to all three HELL being the British Isles! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Guest Date: 29 Nov 13 - 12:06 PM KevinOaf Surprised you are still here. That's assuming you are still in the UK! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Steve Gardham Date: 29 Nov 13 - 01:02 PM Then there's the theory that says the original beggar's litany was 'From Hull, Elland, Halifax good Lord deliver us!' I remember the rugby league match well, Hull FC v Halifax at Elland Road. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Malcolm Storey Date: 29 Nov 13 - 07:47 PM What about the 0-0 draw at Headingley - that was an even better game! Pity we lost in the end (or should I say the team we supported did!). Happy days. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: KEVINOAF Date: 02 Dec 13 - 01:25 AM I no longer have any residence in britain movedon to greener pastures,dung-hills are the enviroments better suited to the brits |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Marianne S. Date: 02 Dec 13 - 03:04 AM "I no longer have any residence in britain movedon to greener pastures,dung-hills are the enviroments better suited to the brits" Logically analysed this means you are now living on a dung-hill which is not in Britain. Ah well, each to his own. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,me, me Date: 02 Dec 13 - 05:10 AM Oh no does this mean we've got months of listening to Ossonflags bragging on that he lives in the city of Culture, oh sh*t !!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Mo the caller Date: 02 Dec 13 - 05:44 AM When you find out what delights of culture Hull has in store can you tell us. Jim is thinking of a trip down memory lane to rediscover his roots if there's anything good on. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: ossonflags Date: 02 Dec 13 - 08:07 AM Well thank you guest me me and all the other negative nice? people. You bettyer I will be bragging from the roof tops about our wonderful city!! But as always, me and me comrades will be DOING something about promoting it. You know, stuff like running successful festivals,working with young people to promote music,working closely with our great Maritime Museum to promote, record and preserve our musical heritage, working with The Hull University as above. And lets not forget what we have, and will be doing,with The History Troupe all this year and the next four years. http://thehistorytroupe.org/www/ Please me me why not come to the Black Boy on a Wednesday afternoon 2.00pm or the Minerva every Sunday 5.00pm (or maybe you already do?)were you will find me and a few more proud like minded Hullensians who will be highly delighted to do some informal boasting with you. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,me, me Date: 02 Dec 13 - 09:33 AM nice one Mick, You fell hook, line and sinker to my trap, well done and keep up the good work of promoting a good cause and I wish you good luck with it you're doing a grand job, keep it up and yep I'll see you at some if not all the events. (Har Har) |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: bubblyrat Date: 02 Dec 13 - 10:32 AM I always knew that this sort of thing was BOUND to happen , after being offered an unconditional place to read Dutch at Hull University and , on reading the prospectus , discovering that there was a thriving "Sheep Appreciation Society " !! |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,'ull kid.. Date: 03 Dec 13 - 06:40 AM nah bubblyrat... dont get the sheep referance |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST Date: 03 Dec 13 - 07:28 AM One detailed version of the Dalesman's Litany is here. The optional element of the Halifax Gibbet is quite trenchant. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: KEVINOAF Date: 04 Dec 13 - 03:10 AM to guest marriane s assumptions are never logical---quite the opposite |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Marianne S. Date: 04 Dec 13 - 04:30 AM Your post consists of three statements: that you no longer live in Britain, that you have moved on to what you described as greener pastures and that "dung-hills are the enviroments better suited to the brits". The phrase 'greener pastures' is used to imply somewhere better. You have moved somewhere better. You state that dunghills are a better environment for British people. It is therefore logical to assume you are living on a dunghill. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,musket Date: 04 Dec 13 - 05:20 AM As I type I am in the Café Nero on the main square looking over at some of the wonderful buildings. The sun is shining and yeah, nice place. Mind you, trying to fit in a bit of Christmas shopping and assumed being in a city this would be easy. The largest shop in town, forgive me if I'm wrong, is a Primemark? Mind you, might bring Mrs Musket here. It certainly is better value. Last time I took her to Leeds she instantly found the Harvey Nicks. Grrr. I reckon Phones 4 U is about as cosmopolitan as it gets. Hopefully the focus from the year of culture might interest investment and get the place the trappings of a city it deserves. You need a mixed economy and the posh shops drag in the money. See Beverley for details. Im off there now because bizarrely the Rohan shop is there not here. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST Date: 04 Dec 13 - 06:52 AM Erm a bit surprised by your post Muskett old bean..have you had a look here? http://www.princes-quay.co.uk/ or here:http://www.ststephens-hull.com/ Saville street and Whitefriargate are both pretty good, the latter were nestles lesfromhulls posh pong shop LUSH |

|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,musket Date: 04 Dec 13 - 07:42 AM Yeah. Many a time. It wasn't dissing the place. After all I am working to raise the quality of services in the area. I just feel it lacks the commerce of most major cities. This culture exposure is an opportunity to get the ball rolling. Most of my colleagues live on the West or North end, Swanland, Beverley etc. I was taken by how most of them say they have to travel to Leeds or York to have a real good shopping spree. This is the money leaking out of the city in its small way. It is an example not an end but please take this in the way intended, Hull has the space, capacity and population range to cater more up market and the overall investment that gives to the city. I have often defended Hull by saying it has a lower self esteem than it deserves. I love the place but it needs a dimension. A large River Island near the coldest Starbucks ever opened isn't an end, it's a beginning if the city centre is to thrive. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Les from Hull Date: 04 Dec 13 - 07:22 PM Most cities can draw in visitors from a radius, the size of which depends upon the size of the city. In spite of the Humber Bridge, the places that we in Hull can draw from are limited. But we have other things than shops. The Deep is very successful. Visit the City's museums and art gallery, which are brilliant (and free!). Or trace your way around the Old Town by following the Fish Trail (details from the tourist information centre in Queen Victoria Square). For those with more specialised tastes, we can show you more hand-pulled ales in the space of a hundred yards that you could shake a tankard at! And on Wednesday afternoons this area also features the Hull and District Elderly Gentlemen's Afternoon Binge-Drinking Club (Folk Music Section), possibly the most cultural event in the future City of Culture. Our biggest city centre shops would be Hammonds (House of Fraser), Debenhams, British Home Stores. They're all bigger than Primark. But like with everywhere else shopping in Hull is moving away from City Centres. Get in touch next time you're over and we'll culture you up! |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Marianne S. Date: 05 Dec 13 - 03:54 AM Kevinoaf = you make the same assumption about me. I had considered the possibility that your spelling and grammar indicated that English is not your mothertongue, but decided that you are just a troll with bad typing skills. It's such fun to bait trolls. |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,Marianne S. Date: 05 Dec 13 - 09:41 AM Kevinoaf. Firstly, congratulations on the correct use of a capital letter at the start of your post. This is a great improvement. The use of the comma is also correct - well done - but unfortunately you have missed out the space after the comma. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: KEVINOAF Date: 05 Dec 13 - 11:01 AM can't be bothered with punctuation when addresssing brit morons |

Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Steve Gardham Date: 08 Dec 13 - 02:00 PM Here's another good piece of news for Hull, the POD coffee shop has reopened on St Andrew's Quay. Starbucks relinquished their tenancy last year sometime to our great sadness and surprise. The décor in the new place is fine and the view of the Humber magnificent. I'll be there at least twice a week. |
