Hullsbrough and beyond

Wow now that’s what I call smart - but too loud for me , but then again at a Nthn Soul night wife would let me LOL

 

Brilliant iii, wasn’t far behind you I had my silk scarf for years after - need to look for it . Other scarfs tied like a cravat ,

 

My first 7 weeks pay got me £42 spare saved for a dark brown sheepskin- had it years. Old man went barmy cos I spent that much on one coat - he already had my board every week so he got nowhere .

 

imagine calling a shop Asbestos nowadays?

 

A proper Hull City Roller.

 

I ran with the gang...

 

I dismantled an old asbestos garage many years ago. I had rung the council and asked where I could dispose of it. Arrived at Wiltshire Road with a van full of asbestos double wrapped in visqueen and gaffer tape.
"What have you got?"
Asbestos
"Lets have a look" - Ooooh splendid, we have people turning up with it in tesco bags.
Directed to the container, where I was met by a guy wearing a disposable full body suit and full face mask.
The next bit was like having a conversation with Darth Vada...
Bit of an irony this, isn't it?
"What is?"
You got all that gear from ARCO didn't you. You know what ARCO stands for? "No". The company that made all this bloody stuff in the first place, asbestos and rubber company, now makes a fortune helping to get rid of it.

 

And you sang shangalang?

 

I know the conversation moved quickly away from the topic but I had a quick read on the Owlstalk board and they are as quick to defend on the same topic as they where when we had all the issues back when in league 1.
The issue isn’t what you see so much in the ground, it’s that one tunnel when you get in. It directs everyone to the middle. surely blocking that off dispersing everyone to the sides is an easy step to removing the same issues.
In reality the history of this stand means it really needs knocking down

 

When I was a kid our old council house had an asbestos shed and I used to scratch my name into it.

 

As teens, made a skate ramp on an asbestos roof on an old abandoned building. It was fun, until someone went through it.

Then we made a little skate park inside the building, entering through the hole.

 

Not a lot of people will know that if you put asbestos on a bonfire it explodes. Hours of fun for us raggy arsed street urchins on North Hull.

 

And East 'Ull.

 

Your lungs must be in good nick!

 

Memories. Loaded a few bonfires with asbestos and aerosol cans.

 

We moved into the new houses on West Parade, 1968 ish, and they were still pulling down the old houses down Claredon Street, on a night we helped the workers out, pushing over walls, making big bonfires, never did us any harm. Cough. Spit
