OT. UK City of Culture

Nah. I change at Glasgow on the way there, but the train back is direct from Motherwell to Warrington

 

PS. I can't throw a sickie. It's a meeting to discuss the recruitment of a Chief Executive Officer. Salary c. £150K. Fee 20%. My commission if successful £3k. = no sickie

 

There'll be a nice pub by the station, I've only been there at night so daytime should be a doddle RHC.

 

Point taken

 

I've always found jocks get on pretty well with Scousers, particularly Glasgow side

 

Yep, good and bad everywhere.

 

I think this has become totally pointless. A city of culture surely requires some level of attraction... you know... at least Liverpool had a few things to attract some people like the cavern and such diverse ****e... now florence or some such city = city of culture. calling dundee or wherever a city of culture is a joke.

 

Strangely MITO, that was the whole point of the OP

 

Depends what you class as cultural, isn't it?

The look of the buildings? The history of the place? Traits of the people from that City (dialect, slang, mannerisms)? Popular Culture?

Every city has culture. I'm sure the detractors of Hull getting it are basing it on the look of the buildings, council estates, unemployment etc, which is unfortunate.

 

Those are just the 4 finalists. Plenty of other cities applied to be city of culture but didn't make the short list

I take it you know all about the museums and festivals in Hull?

I don't blame you for your view its what is fed to the nation by the media

 

This was always intended as tongue-in-cheek, but you won't know that as you don't spend a lot of time one here. I got pissed in the Trog Bar once.

The supporters of one of your RL teams (can't remember which) are downright ****ing thugs though

 

Trog bar.Now there was a bit of class.A pub done out like a cave made of polystyrene.
The thugs you talk about will be the black and whites.WE are hoping by the end of the year of culture some of them will have embraced the whole knife and fork concept

 

Based on what I've heard, no ****ing chance

 

I'm sure they could find plenty of things to do with a knife.

 

Not wrong there

 

Especially after they'd forked out for one.

 

Are they the ones that share the KC?

 

Unfortunately

 

What the forkinghell are you all on about?

 

One of my last culture nights was to see John Bishop.He tried bantering with the crowd about the East -West divide in the city(red/white & black/white).He asked if there was anyone in from North Hull(a few cheers from those not out robbing) he then asked if there was anyone in from SOUTH Hull-stunned silence-brainiest Reds fan not aware that SOUTH Hull is a river.You could not make it up!
