Feel free to vote on this vitally important issue, so I can determine where to tell certain people to go when they've overstepped the line! Vote carefully and vote often.

Speaking for myself and all my minions, i can inform you that Hell is just fine. I've never been to Hull, however.

PS- Do you think Beelzebub sounds classier than Satan?? I've been thinking about changing it...

Crikey! That's a poser. That's a tough one. 'Ull is an 'orrible place, but 'Ell is no bed of roses either. I fink 'Ell might be worse, but that depends on where jOhn from 'Ull is at any given moment. As 'e is in 'Ull right now (I assume), it might be that 'Ull is worse off at the moment. It's 'ard to say.

Mr Satan, I fink you ought to go wif "Beelzebub" because it sounds so bleedin' UGLY! And I don't believe for one minute that you 'ave not been to 'Ull! Don't make laugh. You've got yer greasy 'ands right in the middle of most of wot goes on in 'Ull, in my opinion.

Every time I see the thread title "Muppet in Hull" while scanning through the forum, I think I'm reading "Muppet in Hell." Very disconcerting -- my kids always loved Ernie and Bert and all them!

Hull is worse - it is an intellectual version of the later but it is seriously lacking sex, academic study, any good beer, and one of which can easily raise to spirits to heaven. Hull is Hell.

You've got some bloody nerve muppet criticising Halifax when you come from Bradfud.
Actually Halifax is a bit of a shithouse but this fred is about 'ull and 'ell.
'ull must be worse cos 'ell is an hypothetical state of mind and therefore does not exist in reallity.
Ergo as it does not exist in reallity we have nothing to compare it to, nobody has ever come back from 'ell and said " that was like being in 'ull "

So as 'ull gets more slagging off than any other place it must be worse than 'ell.

That is, in my pedantic book, A litany - (cf poem) - THE is not generic enough - I could have discoursed on the similarity to a CURSE but my fellow pedants would have revoked my membership (nearly) had I tried to go to close to that edge.

And don't we all share a certain postion on the tera tera hertz part of the spectrum? AND doesn't Old Nick himself draw specific attention (and adherence to) to those parts of his contracts AND isn't that pedantry in the extreme - ?

Well Oh pedantic one?

But could it be the case that anybody living in Hull for a significant length of time is displaying a certain lack of judgement that means we wouldn't trust their judgement. Plus, it gets round the problem of contacting hell.

Hell gets a lot of bad press but it's damnably hard to verify the things said about it. Since Hull's detracters are so readily available, one is forced to believe that Hull is worse. You have to go with the best evidence.

RE: "Dalesman's liturgy"

Hull - Those taken up for vagrancy, drunkeness or otherwise thrown into the local lock-up were liable (thanks to the local magistrates) for impressmernt into the Navy at times of a 'Hot Press'.

Halifax - The town of Halifax employed an early form of Guillotine ('The Halifax Gibbet'), IIRC they were fairly swift in its employment (I seem to recall reading somewhere of thieves taken on one market day and topped on the next).

Hell - I'll leave that to others.

Fom Hell, Hull and Halifax, Good Lord Deliver me.

Hull is worse than Hell. I can vouch for that, because I have been to Hull. It's a dreadful place. Anything bad you can say about a city can be said about Hull. It's filthy, depressing, and crime-ridden. Its denizens must rank among the very worst dregs of humanity. At first I was disturbed at the thought of how an immense tidal wave could at any moment come off the North Sea and annihilate Hull, but then I got to thinking about Hull, and I read this thread, and it became plain to me that if Hull were wiped out in an instant, it could only benefit the rest of the British Isles. Hull is unspeakably awful. It's like a nightmare, frozen in time. It's like a thousand days spent eating cold oatmeal while watching the teletubbies!

And you know why it's definitely worse than Hell? Because Hell doesn't exist, that's why! If Hell did exist, they would be jealous of Hull and would probably relocate there as soon as they could bribe the city council and get the place rezoned.

Burn Baby Burn! I thought Hull was full of Ye Olde traditional public bars where people still stood around pianos singing Danny Boy with sawdust underfoot. Where everybody knows your name and can tell what you drink by the cut of your jib etc. Without the big screen loud hailers that now seem to permeate the watering holes of Merry Old England and farther afield. Surely you are not going to shatter my illusion of an untouched and unspoiled corner of civilisation where traditional folk music and quality ale await the weary traveller.
