Hull
Oooh, We're getting out of Hull early today because it's going to be a bit crazy down at the stadium... there having a rugby match AFTER a football match (with two hours to turn things round) and they are setting up for Hull fair... not a good time to live minutes from the stadium.

I work in Hull on Mondays.
My poor wee heart soars with joy at the magnificent sight of the Humber Bridge (no, really, it does - I do love a nice bridge) but my goodness, turning right off Perth Street West onto Chanterlands Avenue at 5pm isn't something you'd want to do every day.

I'm not evil, I'm just shy

Do you turn your nose up at people from Nottingham and tell people the last bit of your address is Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire.
Are you the happy winners of the postcode lottery, and do you lord it over all and sundry because of your better services?
Do you deny that Rushcliffe is a suburb of Nottingham and have a campaign to get it its own postcode.
I bet you do, you big bunch of poshos.

I couldn't let the Hull thread languish down here so I thought I'd share my experiences of when I went to Hull to kick start an anorak communal memory of Hull.
Firstly, I ended up playing pool in a pub with some locals in a massive scream pub, one of who showed me his collection of screws in his pocket. He dontated me two.
I had the best fish and chips ever.
Though I did have to explain to a curry house how to make a pathia. Bet they loved me.
I *did* go to Spiders and was ill but not due to drinking.
I watched Alan Partridge with an ace Japanese guy.
Finally I remember the Lantern Tavern because it had a pool table and Ewok figures in it.
And that was my weekend in Hull.

Hull has some really friendly locals i think. A lot of weirdos hanging round the town centre though. Spiders. The Chinese Laundry. The brown river. Watching the fish in the Sailmaker's Arms. Feeding the ducks in Queen's Gardens. The pub with the smallest window in the world (possibly). Playing pool upstairs and putting tunes on the jukebox in Ye Olde Black Boy. Finding cool 7"s at the market. Pave. Chip spices. The Lamp.
Wouldn't really want to live there again though!

Ahh right, I don't remember anywhere called the lantern tavern..
Did you ever go to Disc Discovery at the bottom of Spring Bank? Oh I forgot to mention Granny's Treasures (or something similar) - a shop that sells old magazines and trinkets near the train station! It's brilliant, like stepping back in time. Run by old ladies in wigs.
