Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

Christine's!

 

They do a nice vegan chilli…

 

Why in God’s name would you want to be more than 100m from a pub by choice?!

 

I had a good look at that, never realised it had no engine.

 

I didn't, bloke on next table had the steak pie, would have fed me for a week!
Went in about 4.30pm, every table was busy with people eating. Stayed until about 6 and more came in to eat. Folk here eat their tea early!

 

Yes I read that. I was surprised to read it’s new home is in the corner of the marina (next to the bridge).
I assumed it was to be part of the maritime ‘museum’ alongside the trawler (having a senior moment, can recall the name) on the River Hull?

 

Arctic Corsair

 

It's a shame we only have these two heritage ships to display when @HullMaritime opens. Any thoughts on the proposed boxpark for high street near the new north end shipyard/museum, first reaction was that it stretches the city centre further but it could work well on the bankside?

 

Have a mate down in London. Said to him I don’t get how he likes everybody being rude down there whereas people are more friendly up here. He reckons he just like how busy it is because something’s always happening. I think a lot of them down there are just arseholes

 

Having spent two years working and living down there most of the time I would move down in a heartbeat if I could but only if I had the means to live somewhere decent. In the end I was in Richmond/Mortlake and it was amazing but earlier on I was around Hanger Lane and it was not a pleasent place to live.

Being able to go out on a Monday night and its busier than a Satuirday night in Hull was nice for a while but you soon get bored of going out. I've had my fill of strippers and nightclubs. Never got bored of walking around and people watching though. The choice of restaurants, museums and shops ensures you could never get bored but there is a high price for living in an area with such choice.

The rudeness thing is true to a point but I think it is a diversity issue as well, there are so many differing groups from outside of London who want to keep themselves to themselves. If you want to talk to someone you can, I made conversations in pubs and on the tube all of the time. I think thats a northern thing though, we talk to anyone!

 

Guildhall golden ball can't rise to the occasion, it's broken and they are waiting for a part.
The lady at reception didn't know how much the renovation cost.

 

Oh heck
Glad I saw it work once!

 

Oh it cost £452k by the way

 

It’ll be under warranty, just need to send it back and ask for a replacement.

 

We always make a point of talking to people on the Tube, always rewarding to see the initial look of horror on their faces that someone is engaging with them. Door left ajar.

 

I do this too!!

 

Its ace isn't it. Even holding a door open for them gets a worried look. On the flip side though it is really easier to become highly thought of by barmaids and waitresses, just being nice gets you served quickly every time as they are not used to it!

 

Well they are probably Aussies !
