New list of crappest towns just been published, Hull is no longer number 1, it is Luton.

put "crappest town" in your seacher thing for full details.
it said Hull is violent and depressing, but thats a load of rubbish, anyone else says that, and we'll bust their nose.

yep, see my post on the David Westwood thread.
This is the 5th time he has been accused of fiddling with little boys, I see Hull Daily Mail are not covering the case in as much detail as The Yorkshire Post, Hull Mail do not mention the previous allegations made against him or the fact he was suspended from the council a few years ago.

I'd give up three of my personalities to be schizophrenic. The trouble is that they would never agree which ones should go.

The only difference between Hull and Luton is that Luton has more seagulls. Something to do with a better class of rubbish in the tips.

Maybe you're not trying hard enough, jOhn, and that is why Hull has fallen into second place. Get off your duff and do something about it, mate. Bust some noses. Deface a few more public buildings.   Hull has a reputation to maintain.

"Hull has fallen into second place"

Little Hulk, it's worse than second place, Hull has dropped to 19th. Radical thinking and action is required.

jOhn, ull is looking to you to champion this cause.

That is truly shocking. Hull has lost ground more seriously than I had suspected. Meanwhile, Crouch End is apparently moving up the list rapidly.

must be the big screen in town and the new stadium that ruined our rank.

but the bloody stadium is being crap.

REM are playing there next year, i wanted to see them, but then i found out the seating plan.

usually in stadiums you have the rectangular arena, and the stage is at one of the short ends of the rectangle. not so with idiots at KC. the stage is at the long side of the rectangle, so about 3000 seats wasted, probably more, and then loads of people standing in the middle.

bluddie crap seating plan.

Sounds like the stadium seating plan is right in tune with getting Hull back at the top of the list by next year. Jolly good! With any luck, the wretched seating arrangements will provoke a bloody riot among the R.E.M. fans, and that should do it.

Yes. We should see if we could move the Canadian city of Hull to the UK and make a conglomerate of the two Hulls. This would result in Kingston-upon-Hull having a sizeable French enclave in the middle of England...and I can hardly imagine a better recipe for civil disorder and hatred in the UK than that. It would be like the 100 Years War all over again.

What about the second longest single-span suspension in the world? The worlds ONLY submarium? The fact that it's not full of peasants on their way to somewhere else? The beer is cheap. It's near the sea. It has a posh Marina. A fish walk. Numerous free museums. Some of the best Guinness this side of the Irish Sea. And a really friendly population, on the whole.

As somebody who's lived all over europe, I reckon it's not such a bad place to be. Anybody watch that documentary last night on the worst sea-side resorts in the UK? Christ, I'd rather be here than in any of those.

I'll just get me coat.

Hull .....home of The watersons, The Hull Truck Theatre Company, poets, songwriters, a long bridge, a long stretch of motorway with nowhere to stop for a wee on the way there - if it was American they'd call it the sunshine state (or something)and build a theme park - Hullywood.
welcome to Hullywood - home of the Hully Gully - gateway to Cleethorpes - miles of sunkissed sand - sensual delights for everyone - visit The Court of Sir jOhn!

Keep a place like that quiet if I were you - they'd all want to come there for holidays

s6k-I was going to see REM and The Bueatiful South in Huddersfield a few years ago, I was given free tickets off Paul Heaton [he's a singer in the Beautiful South], but the drummer in REM decided to have a brain heammorage a few days before the gig, and it was cancelled.
I was pissed off!

Ignore my last post, it's rubbish! [i'm getting mixed up with someone else],
Not sure who was in Red Guitars, but some of the oldtimers here [Les, Bassic, Ossonflags etc] will probably know.
I know Lou Howard [now known as Lou Duffy Howard] was a bass player, not sure who else was in the band.
