A couple of lads I play football with work there, apparently it is to be closed until the 17th February.

Pikeys to blame according to eyewitnesses, unsure what the motive was.

No idea if it's related, but there's a big feud going on at the minute, stretches from York/Darlington and others. One group dug up the graves of the other and nicked two skulls. It was set to kick off in York over Christmas, but I don't think it did. Sub-machine guns were confiscated.
 
It's a shame the pikeys can't just argue online rather than resorting to actually trying to shoot each other.

I purchased a Stanley screwdriver set and some screws from B and Q this morning and was driving out of St Andrews just after it happened.

Saw 2 x ARV's with armed plod carrying MP 5's bossing people about. Didn't see the car with windows shot out mind.

Too busy admiring my new screwdriver selection sat on the passenger seat.

Is there a purpose for this purchase?

Obviously you don't NEED one but I wondered if you had any DIY planned? If so, I'm sure you could get some tips on here.

Always like to add a new tool to the box now and again. Got a lovely 10mm ratchet spanner the other day.

I bought said merchandise to fix/ screw back on the door knob on the side door of the East Wing.

Spent 5 minutes trying to do it then sacked it off as I thought I needed to drill pilot holes and really couldn't be arsed.

My 9 year old daughter then said she'd have a go, to humour her I handed over the toolage and left her to it thinking she's get bored after 2 minutes.

The door knob is fixed now, well 2 of the 3 screws are firmly secured, the third one is still a bit wobbly.

Her indoors has called me a few choice names but I'm not bothered, it saved me a job

I, literally, have no shame.

She's ready to learn the wonder of No More Nails.

Literally the greatest thing ever invented. EVER. FACT.

I've told the missus when we move in a few weeks, a couple of the mirrors aint coming with us. She's not having that.

I may need more filler.

    Police outside McDonald's on St Andrew's Quay.
Armed police were called to St Andrew's Quay in Hull after shots were fired at a car outside McDonald's.

Two people inside the blue Volkswagen Golf, which had its windows blown out, were unhurt and are assisting police with their enquiries.

The suspects made off in a grey Volkswagen Golf, passing the Asda Supermarket on Hessle Road, travelling in the direction of Gipsyville.

A member of the public is receiving treatment at the scene for shock.

A police spokeswoman said: "A 999 calls was made at 11.35am today (Saturday January 2, 2016), by a member of the public reporting a number shots being fired in the car park of McDonalds Restaurant, St Andrews Quay, Hull.

"An outer cordon has been put in place around the scene of the firearms incident and firearms trained officers, the police helicopter, specialist police dogs and many other supporting departments of the police are in attendance, tracking down the offenders."

Ambulances and the police helicopter were also called to the scene.

Eyewitness Jamie Hall, from Hull, said: "I was at the petrol station next to it, there are currently three armed police vehicles and the police helicopter.

"McDonalds is cordoned off, a blue car has both passenger side windows smashed in the car park."

On Twitter, @paulharps said: "Sat in hull maccys and someone just shot **** out of a car in the car park. Police here with tasers out [HASHTAG]#madness[/HASHTAG]".

Another witness described a Golf with "shot-out windows".
