As we're promoting City related things, I can't see any harm in giving this a bit of exposure.
About Hull Badge Man ,
I have been collecting Hull badges since I was 4, my dad was head doorman at three tuns. My nanna used to take me to Hull FC & I used to go to some Hull KR games. All my pocket money was used buying badges from all 3 teams. 28 years since I’m still collecting.
How did we get into selling badges ?
When I was 12 I started selling badges outside the grounds, it was my full family. We used to earn £10-20 a match each. What was a lot to family who was on fairly poor. We used to sell for random guy who produced them. 10 years later , my mum had passed away and few months later guy sold the business on m. We loss our jobs but I’ll still kept collecting from the new owners.
Fast forward another 10 years , I set up HullBadgeMan to show off my collection. Happily posting photos than out the blue I got message to say Hull badge making was been stopped due to been sold out of town. Something I couldn’t allow to happen so I got a small but very committed team together.
We invested over £2000 with help of crowdfund & our own money. We saved Hull badge making but loss the chance to sell outside the grounds by time we had started making our first sets. We tried to get new spots but at cost of £2000 Hull CC wanted we couldn’t. The badge spots we felt, with SMC permission 10 years ago. Sadly SMC wouldn’t let us have back so it why we are currently online only.
We now need whole of Hull community and Hull community team to get behind HullBadgeMan. We are doing this to save dying tradition of Hull badge making and run by fans for fans. We are all Volunteers, even if you can’t afford a badge. Simple like & share of our page helps massively get the word out to support Hull own.

Just attach the machine to a City supporters head at The MKM, probably get a similar result!
Great, this should do it. I can't see Putin carrying on now ......

I reckon my last memory will go something like this....
Frazer Campbell, there's a slip by Lewis Carey...
Windass!
Where's that picture of a dog that looks Vladimir Putin? I think Dutch posted it, but I can't find it.
The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...'
'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting you.'
'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?'
'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat !.
After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?'
'Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.'
'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!'
'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.'
'My, that's a lot!', gasped Mrs. Smith..
'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.'
'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said.
'Oh, my God!' Mrs Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with.'
'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith.
'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look'
'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement..
'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.'
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?'
'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away.'
'Tripod?’, she queried, nearly fainting.
'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand for long.'
Mrs. Smith fainted...
