    Assuming of course that is his remit. He commentates on the games for sure, but his main concern and remit is daytime programme presenter. The sports team should have picked up last night's game. We'll soon see in tonight's Talk ****e!

    KR fans have always been, on the whole, supportive of City. It's the other lot

    You had better tell them that then as Hull has been twinned with Rotterdam since 1936. He have a number of other twin towns as well as there and Freetown.

    Most of the fans supporting City, as Mike Smith said, on, on the whole, being supportive are not exactly the same thing.
    Though Rovers fans tend not to be so anti City as a lot of FC ones.

    No we don't. I worked on the committee for celebrating our twinning with Freetown. By definition you can only have one town twinned with you. The clue is in the name 'twin'.

    Not interested in Sunderland, I worked on twinning celebrations for HCC with Freetown. They were our only twin, if we had others they'd be triplets or quads etc.

    I'm not particularly interested in Sunderland either I was just trying to reconcile their, apparent, 2 twin towns with your earlier statement, ie

    Yes, that was the formal HCC line we gave to press who asked at the time of the Freetown celebrations about our other 'twin towns'. We always took the approach that there can only be two twins in a twinning, maybe they do things differently in Sunderland.

    Someone is wrong then. https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_upon_Hull

    Hull twinned with Rotterdam in 1936. It twinned with Freetown in 1979. In the 1980s the Welcome To Hull sign on the roads into Hull used to announce It was twinned with Freetown, Raleigh and Rotterdam.
    Twin when used as a verb can mean join, link or combine, it just dorsn't refer to two chilren.
    Google a list of twin towns, loads of places, many a lot smaller than Hull are twinned with up to 6 places.

    No you Can't. The word twin used as a verb can mean join, link, combine. Rotterdam still lists itself as twinned with Hull amongst other places.

    That doesn't mean the line HCC gave to the press was anymore correct than many more of their statements.

    Precisely. They were linking it with C of C. Doesn't mean previous twin towns were demoted. If it worked that way they would have to drop Freetown as since 1979 they have twinned with places in Japan and Poland and Reykavik.

    Even lil old Brid has two twin towns. Both in attractive places in France and Germany which gives councillors 2 jollies worth going on each year.

    Absolute bullshit.
    There's a lot of HKR/ Leeds Utd fans kicking around.
    I have 2 mates that are exactly that.
