Excellent. Perhaps you could help settle a recent pub argument I was involved in. A few people were of the opinion that Hull is an actual place in the north east region of England, while I was putting forward my contention that Hull does not actually exist and is merely a common euphemism for something being dull and dreary. There is the possibility that I have confused this with Grimsby however.

Most of the East Coast of Northern England is actually an allegory for eternal suffering. It's not a real thing, it's more of an idea. A bit like the Roman conception of the underworld. When someone says they're "from Hull" or "from Grimsby", it's a bit like when someone japes "oh, we've been to hell and back today haha". In reality, the coast starts somewhere around Goole. Hope that is of help.

Now if only we still had Yonner around to respond to the post above this one. I miss that guy. :(

Are you sure No.3 are from Manchester, just that no one else has mentioned them.
 
Enjoy.

It may be fashionable to dislike them, but a lot of their earlier stuff was pretty good. Personally I'd sooner listen to many other things these days, but they weren't bad at the time (93/94/95). The Fall have been sh*te for years too, but they did enough up to 1986 to be legends and Manchester's finest ever.

Please accept my most humblest apologies for letting the thread degenerate.
I can only put it down to a mixture of heat and alcohol and cant believe I did it.

aye and the Roses are better. My sons learning to play 'My Star Will Shine' and he's sounding ok with it.

You started a Northern Soul thread on here - in my eyes that means you could put up the smurfs, Johhny Logan and Dire Starits and not have to apologise! Well maybe not the last one <whistle>
