Off Topic Hull: City of Culture

I thought you didn' like rugby league ??

 

I remember seeing that too, wasn't it a sink hole?

 

Can' quite remember John it was maybe a sink hole after the earthquake.
There was also something on the BBC news a few months ago.
It showed a video of them digging up a road in the centre of a City.
They videod it and it was amazing how they got it done in 24 hours.

 

Extremeĺy impressive.
Like I said over here it would have been a case of the maximum profit they could make out of it.

 

I noticed patch of tarmac down paragon street the other week.

I was hoping we had turned a corner and these things would be very temporary after spending millions doing the place up.

We shall see.

 

Back in the day when ever I dug up the footpaths in Beverley they used to have their own dedicated workers who removed the paving slabs we needed up and then they laid them again when we'd finished.
In hull they didn't give a **** and you just tarmaced it or put em back if you could be arsed.
I had a load of setts from outside waterfront in my old garden

Sounds like nowt changed.

 

The tarmac will be a temporary treatment, they’ll be back in there soon to finish up and will replace the flags when the job is done. Standard practice.

 

It was very impressive, but less well remembered amidst the mythologising of Japanese efficiency is that the repair only lasted another two weeks before it had subsided so badly that they had to repair it again:

Hence the old saying 'if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't...'

 

Spoilsport.
Mind you what could they have done if the ground underneath gives way.

That's an excellent piece. Got us spot on the daft ****

 

They may need to dip into the reserve stocks it rumours of chazz's new Yorkshire flagstone drive are true.

 

What do they do with the flags they've took up? As it will be by the gas board, arent i old, leccy board or water. They'll just dump the flags or take em. Then the council will reinstate, maybe, with more new flags. Not very cost effective is it.

 

I heard the workmen take them home and use them in their gardens.

 

It's always good when people support the city but I'm not sure how much thought went into this piece. He talks about the Hessle Road country music scene, really? And fisherman drinking their wages away down Anlaby Road. Not how I remember it.

 

Are you been deliberatley ****ing stupid.

 

No not at all, you need to lighten up a bit.
