Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

[Asterix]

Just myself and another guy in a carriage heading from the sticks into London. He was reading a newspaper, another read/unread paper next to him.
May I read one of your papers?
He looked at me in alarm and snatched the spare paper up. Didn't say a word, not even, No.
Next day making the return journey, the long delayed tube gave me time to realise I was on the wrong platform. Delay, rush hour, what was a fair few had become a crowded throng.
Nowt else for it, about face, excuse me, sorry, thank you, and nobody, not one soul made eye contact. As I cleared the platform, the crowd had thinned out enough to catch one guy's eye.
Do you do this every day? I asked
Yep
Ya ****in mad!
Yep

Mad?? Then again, after newspaper man and the floor staring zombies, my two sentence conversation may have been with only sane commuter.

It's a dump round there, the only decent place to go was the Belvedere restaurant, owned by two Italian brothers (one of them had a son at Hull Uni). It was there for decades, but last time I passed I noticed it's become an Indian, so even that's gone now.

I just googled it to see if I knew it and you're right its closed. I didnt ever go in but the Hua Chinese across the roundabout next to the Polish shop was a god send during covid lockdown. He let you go in and drink and smoke, it was like a little drinking den in there whilst waiting for your take away.

I think that is also the roundabout with the weirdest ever combo on. Dom Polski 'Polish and Chinese Restaraunt'.

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

Very much like golf shoes

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.

Looking at the number plate, it's probably one of Q's gadgets malfunctioning.

As you will know there are some hidden gems in London. Worldie pubs and eateries in the most bizarre places. Just gotta avoid the robbers and drug dealers!

I used to mainly avoid the robbers on the way to meet the drug dealers..,

If they take it to a post office, they don’t even have to package it,

Memo to self,
search for the pic you took of Rico on the Tube reading his Arsenal v City programme, the one where you omitted the 'nal' on the cover of it.

Festival of archaeology in the old town this weekend. Looks like the same sort of medieval things put on for Hansa day.

Take your kids and grandkids down. Can walk to the game afterwards.

Isn’t it Pride tomorrow?

I could probably wear my leather chaps for both.

Edit: Yes it is. Anyone going to the game might want to avoid driving.
