Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Noreen Date: 22 Mar 02 - 05:30 AM Very interesting, John. But how can they have Frequently Asked Questions when it's not even open yet? Hmmm? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 22 Mar 02 - 05:52 AM Thanks for the link Noreen, it is open to taxi drivers already, so they can tell normal people what it is like, and it will be opened by prince Andrew today. here is what some people said about it = Marc Pitson ="We looked at different types of fish and what they do.We had a quiz to see which of the other animals kill the fish, I learned how the fish live" Jack Collier="We went in a games room and moved around doing different activities.I learned what sharks do when you can't see them." |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Mrs.Duck Date: 22 Mar 02 - 11:59 AM Noreen I expect the most frequently asked question when walking along the quay in Hull is "What the bloody hell is that?" It's huge and looks just like a ship. We saw it when we were in Hull a few weeks ago and it was quite mistyso it looked like the Titanic was paying a ghostly visit!! We are hoping to go there soon depending on cost etc. |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Jon Freeman Date: 23 Mar 02 - 05:16 AM Thanks for the link John. It looks very interesting. I'll probably give this one a visit sometime in the year. Got to speak nicely to Pip... At the moment, my mind is saying a visit to The Deep, tea in Hull then on to a session - maybe in Hull or maybe in Barton on Humber... I've got to try and get to the Bangor weekend in April first though... Jon |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 17 May 02 - 04:58 AM Mrs Duck-The admision is cheap, and little people go free. Jezebel-I hopefully see you next week at the yorkshire gathering. Guy-It was good to see you in Hull, when are you coming again? Jon-You would like it in Hull, there are loads of good sessions in the area. Mrs Cobble-It was a lot cheaper than the dome, and who would want to go to that London place anyway? It is full of shandy-drinking southerners! :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Dorrie Date: 18 May 02 - 01:23 PM its the world only submarium and you know why? because if they made up the word there cant be anymore |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Mrs.Duck Date: 18 May 02 - 02:18 PM We did try to visit the Deep back in March but the traffic was queuing about 2 miles back from the roundabout so we decided to give it a miss and headed for Brid instead. We may try again next week as we are on half term holiday but many others won't be til the week after. Are the queues getting any shorter?? |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: 53 Date: 18 May 02 - 06:48 PM If I was to visit Hull I would look up John and he and I would pick some music together. Bob From Conway. |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 19 May 02 - 01:56 AM Mrs Duck-The did not expect The Deep to be any were nere as succsessful as it is (the yearly break even figure is 100,000 visitors, but that many people went in the first 2 months!) so they only built a little car park, I think they must have thought people would walk there! A good option would be for you to use The Park and Ride facility, you can park all day there for free and the bus to city centre is only 10p, it is on Walton Street (the fairground site) I seem o remember you did your degree at Hull university, so you will probably know where it is, if not, it is well sign posted from the A63, I think it's the 3rd off-slip after The Humber Bridge.If you buy your tickets at The City Tourist Office (next to the City Hall) you can get an express pass for only 1 pound extra, this enables you to go straight in without queing. There is buses from City Centre to The Deep every 10 minutes, for only 10p, I don't know what number the buses are but if you ring Hull City Bus Services on 01482 222222 they will tell you.I reckon the express pass scheme is probably well worth it, as when they first opened people were queing for over 2 hours to get in! I reckon weekdays will be quieter, If you want to go to a folk session after your visit there are loads to choose from, on Mondays there is Nellies folk Club in Beverley, and there is usually a folk or blues artist apearing at The Tap & Spile, Spring Bank (used to be called The Eagle, On Tuesdays there are loads of sessions, Sun Inn in Beverley, The Hase in Hessle, Musicians session at The Tap and there is Skipjacks session in Barton to name just a few, If you want to get the whole sea experince at once you could also visit The Arctic Corsair (a preserved deep sea trawler) website at www.arctic-corsair.co.uk .And if you ask nicely Les might give you his guided tour of The Town Docks Museum, he knows loads about boats/ships etc.And if it's a nice day you should walk around The Marina, and take photos of the rich peoples yachts, and eat ice cream. Bob-You would be very welcome, if you ever get around here let me know and I will give you my address, I am sure you could give me some good guitar tips! I would take you to a local session as well, Hull is probably the most folk friendly city in the UK, there are jam sessions, sinarounds and musicians nights on every night of the week , there is also the annual shanty festival on the marina.I don't know when this is but it is in summer.john |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 19 May 02 - 02:16 AM Mr & Mrs Duck-Here is another thing you could do! You could do a pub crawl with a difference, just vibit all the pus in Hull that have got a sea/fishing connection in their name ie The Ship, The Humber Pilot, The Norland, The Arctic Ranger, The Wane Ferry, The Minerva, Banks harbour, The Coxswain, The Humber Keel, The Oyster Catcher, The Sailmakers Arms, The Plimsoll ship, That old pub on Hedon Road near the docks, thats all i can think of now but i am sure there are loads more, I am sure some of the Hessle Road pubs are named after shhips/fish.john |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Mrs.Duck Date: 19 May 02 - 05:57 PM Thanks for all the info. We've already had the fish trail from the cultural adviser for Hull aka Les but would like to do it again some time with the children. Have to leave the pub crawl to when they are not with us though :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 20 May 02 - 02:48 AM Willa-thanks for letting us know about The Shantie Festival. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 20 May 02 - 03:02 AM I just remebered, some folkies work at The Deep.One of them is a tour guide, so if you say hello you might get a behind the scenes tour! I can't remember her name but she plays a drum at the Kingston and The Tap and Spile, and her husband called Grayum plays a banjo and he runs the Blues workshop/session in The Tap & Spile on Sunday afternoons.I rembered as well, if you que up for more than 2 hours they give you a free drink of orange! |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Mrs.Duck Date: 20 May 02 - 01:21 PM Not usually John but Graham, Graeme or whoever I do know who you mean. Know his wife too I think but names escape me but we'll certainly say 'Hi' if we go. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 24 Jun 02 - 12:57 PM I met Bill Sables at the weekend, he had just visited The Deep with his family he said "It was shite!, it is just a big fish tank".Apparently they have better ones in America , I intend to go in a few weeks, so I will let you know what I think to it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Julie B Date: 01 Aug 02 - 07:23 AM I seem to be being magnetically, repeatedly drawn back to Hull again (spent 3 years at Univ. 20 years ago!). I think this is the Mudcat/Hull effect. Will be up for the Sea Shanty festival, and will try to check out any local Thurs/Fri night sessions beforehand (staying with aunt in Willerby again) Julie B |

Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Les from Hull Date: 01 Aug 02 - 09:02 AM Julie - we have a session on Fridays at the Kingston in Cumberland Street, starts about 9pm finishes much later than that. Songs, tunes and everything except naked cycling. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: GUEST,Oakley Date: 01 Aug 02 - 09:07 AM Julie, there will be a fine pair of helmets visible as Beverley's favorite naked cyclist display team have been engaged by the landlord at the Kingston in Cumberland Street for a display every Friday at 9pm, till quite a bit later than that. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: GUEST,Oakley Date: 01 Aug 02 - 09:09 AM Good heavens, Les. Our messages passed like shops in the night9. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Noreen Date: 01 Aug 02 - 09:30 AM Julie: Be afraid, be very afraid... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Julie B Date: 07 Aug 02 - 11:40 AM Thanks for the session info, that's great.
My days of cycling, naked or otherwise, ended when I left Hull. Nice and flat though it was, though, I found the wind always seemed to be against me no matter whether I was cycling from Cottingham to Hull or vice-versa! Maybe I just cycled too fast for my own good... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: The DeanMeister Date: 07 Aug 02 - 07:54 PM The bloody purple helmets seem to get everywhere these days...... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: smallpiper Date: 08 Aug 02 - 05:15 AM There's no shaking them deanie boy! Hello Julie B aare you going on to whitby? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Skipjack K8 Date: 08 Aug 02 - 08:32 AM Another good reason to visit Hull is to sniff the pungent air, no longer rank with rotting fish, but a lovely come-to-bed aroma of cocoa, wafting from the ADM plant in the old harbour. Hands up anyone who can smell it right now. Here on Cleveland Street it is particularly aromatic. You getting it down the marina, Les? Gary |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Les from Hull Date: 08 Aug 02 - 08:40 AM No mate, the wind's in the wrong direction. But you should be getting my smells. I get all those weird and lovely smells as I cycle (fully-clothed) from my place to the Kingston. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Skipjack K8 Date: 08 Aug 02 - 09:04 AM I reflected after posting that I had asked rather a silly question of an aromatherapy victim! Does the Fragrant one overcome the, err, usual musk of 'Ull?
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Julie B Date: 08 Aug 02 - 09:34 AM Hi Smallpiper, Unfortunately I won't make Whitby this year as a close freind has chosen to get married on Aug 17th and I'm already booked onto a folk camp at Kngston Langley (Nr Chippenham) from 23rd Aug. Julie B |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: GUEST,Oakley Date: 08 Aug 02 - 11:44 AM Les, does the flagrant one have any essences of Humbrol paints, 7 Seas cod liver oil or essense of static caravan (melamine and dralon) for local people? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Skipjack K8 Date: 08 Aug 02 - 03:52 PM So many to choose from, Anglia palm stench, Saltend acid rain, Mustaffa's phall, even my previously enjoyed chip fat a la rue du Lime. What an aromatic town! 9Gary |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Oaklet Date: 08 Aug 02 - 05:27 PM And "Eau de Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive - Humbercare Project" (until we get the machinery working properly). Motto: "Give a couple of years and we'll take 4, sod up the town and stink like feck in the interim". Even Mr Twigger (who plays pipes) sometimes curls a nostril or two. It's from the Spanish quarter, we suspect. Hello jOhn! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 08 Aug 02 - 09:36 PM Helloo Oaklet. Gary 9-I am very familiar with the stench of Anglia Palm oil, also Prep, and the speciality oils they produce 9garlic flavour olive oil etc) I was a process operator at Anglia oils on King George Dock.it was one of the smelliest places i have werked at, the smelliest being Oakland, Poppleton, near York, 9a turkey factory), i used to come home stinking of turkey shit every day, I was in the killing room, so used to get covered in the stuff. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Skipjack K8 Date: 09 Aug 02 - 05:35 AM Strewth, jOhn, we've done more than share instruments! I worked at Anglia in '95, and now collect acid oil from Anglia, and deliver it to Oakland in Moormonkton. Maybe I'll finish my career at Mustaffa's, but with session nights off? Gary |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Another good reeson to visit Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 09 Aug 02 - 05:55 AM Tis a small werld Gary, you are welcome to my job if you want it, I had an argue with him last night and told him to stick his job up his arse! I feel that after 7 years there it is time I moved on, I have other plans.Watch the threads for details! |
