You must have been there the same time as me. So glad they got the alarm to stop. I was wiping away tears at the end and sure I wasn't the only one. Just everything about it made me proud. Those waves made me almost seasick, so realistic and the blitz stuff as well. Just loved everything.
Some grotesquely snobbish attitudes reminiscent of Hyacinth Boucket in the ER. I have met many beswicks from the ER who lack any kind of education and sophistication. I'm talking fur coat and no knickers, coal in the bath, personalised number plate Jags, people who know the cost of everything and value of nothing, people who have inherited farming land and are by most people's standards rich, It always makes me laugh when I hear these people getting sniffy about Hull. Plenty of wealthy, well to do, educated people outside Hull and many of them are humble too, but unfortunately the braying beswicks seem to outnumber them.
Someone might have replied already but anyway it lasts around 15 minutes with 10 minute breaks in between. There is a countdown to the next showing on Ferens wall.
Stop me if I've said this before. Millwall FAC 2009: Downsy proactively launches a media initiative before the game outlining his 'zero tolerance' approach, which the local media faithfully and uncritically carry. We all know what happened on the day and afterwards (or rather what didn't happen....) How Downs kept his job is utterly beyond me. Humiliated locally and nationally as an incompetent and impotent cop who was unable to catch dozens of visiting trouble makers despite all the horses, helicopters, cctv etc. Best shoo them onto train and hope some other police force has the balls to apprehend them, eh? Might have a few sickness claims coming in from the lads if they get some scratches doing their duty. Then the Met ignore his bleats for help so his 'zero tolerance' approach is revealed to be in reality a 'total surrender' approach. And gets to keep his job, and our local police continue to be among the worst in the country. I wonder if the two are linked perchance?
Unfortunately too many people in Hull with insular, parochial attitudes who give the impression they have never foot outside Hull don't help its image. Your last sentence is ridiculous, and patently not correct.
But the point is the HDM did their article about NYE whereas the Daily Mail and Sun lump it together with the CofC celebrations which is totally misleading and having read the comments from some people about that article on their website it really made my blood boil.
And how are insular, parochial Hull people different from insular, parochial folk anwhere else in Yorkshire, the North or even England? I don't claim to have met a meaningful number of Holderness/Haltemprice folk but I do know there are several archetypes. Kilnsea is not Kirkella. There are plenty of ignorant prejudiced beswick types in the ER, I'm surprised you waste your time defending them. They are not unique to the ER.
Up pops the snowflake anarchist. Has your mate got over the trauma of working on Xmas Day enough to be able to cope with the horrendous return to uni?

Give it a rest ffs. There's a lot of positive stuff going on in the region. Take some time off and savour it.
Taking cheap shots at Hull at every opportunity and complaining about 'muh special snowflake' students (even though he was one) on this forum is his time off since he retired. I don't know what his other hobbies include but I'd guess fox-hunting and spitting on the poor are somewhere on the list.
I was a snowflake student? When? I am vehemently anti-hunting but being strong on facts has never been one of your attributes.
