Loving all the CoC stuff that's come out today. I think they're doing a bloody good of it. I love the 'Everyone Back To Ours' slogan. I like the use of Windass in a positive context rather than the confrontational way that the Allams have wheeled him out in the past. Oh and anything with Caravan of Love in relation to Hull is just perfect. I can't understand the Hull/EY animosity that seems to exist on this forum. Never come across it in real life. I'm immensely proud to be from both.
I laughed this morning, Nicky Campbell on Five Live passing to his weather girl who is from Hull.... NC.... We will be discussing Hull City of Culture a little later, but first a word for someone who knows all about the city she was born there, tell us weather girl..... Weather Girl... its a great place, we have The Deep and The Bridge... every time I see it I know I'm home'... now todays weather!!!
Maybe I'm missing some sort of 'in joke' at the BBC, but we are nearly always on the national weather map. I know because it's the sort of sad thing that I always look out for and I watch BBC News24 most days I'm home.
I think it's a real shame that on such an important day the for the city, some cantankerous old **** feels the need to **** this thread up.
In my own experience, I've only ever come across it as EY animosity towards Hull, usually in a 'don't associate us with that place' type of feeling.
Agree totally. That Back to ours video is brill and very well done. I never got the Hull/ER thing either. My family are all from Hull, but we were proud supports of the ER forever, Humberside Never campaign. Proud of Hull, proud of the ER.
I'm sure it was - just seemed an odd one considering they and other news sources do anyway. Or maybe I'm reading too much into some light hearted flippancy.
Writing as a cultural snob, I'm amazed at how many interesting events there will be during the celebration. The organisers have commissioned a programme that includes much that is esoteric and obscure. It is a confident move that enhances the City's identity; there is something undeniably unique about Hull. I have a love/hate relationship with the place but can't deny its appealingly idiosyncratic, non-conformist character - and it is this quality the organisers have chosen to celebrate and pay tribute to. I'm blown away.
Ditto. I live in East Yorkshire, but consider Hull my home city. As frustrating as I find it at times I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else. I'm fortunate in that I could actually live anywhere in the UK as my home and car are my office and my customers are all over the UK. They should have a bit of Kingmaker on their too. They wore City shirts in one of the vids.
I love my City. I'm immensely proud to be from Hull. If you don't like it you can **** right off. Thanks Yours Charlie
****ing hell. I never had you down as a pikey. Learn sommat every day on here. Thanks for reminding me I need a digital copy of my Kingmaker cassette tape I almost wore out in the car years back. Lovely album that.
Complete bollocks i'm afraid. Shame that DMD has liked this comment but not suprising. I'm born and bred Beverley but also lived in Hull for a number of years. You won't meet anyone who defends Hull to people outside East Yorkshire as fiercely as me and my mates. However, if on a night out and someone finds out i'm a Beverley lad it's all 'why do you even support city? **** off where you came from etc. etc.'. Loads of Hull people have a real issue with Beverley.
Nobody actually objects to the glass elevator, the contentious part is the hotel and office development that facilitates it, which Hessle Town Council are objecting to.
Great album. Saw them live quite a few times. No pikey, rural living for me. Although I spend that much time in the car I may consider chucking a caravan on the back. Do a few loops of Church Street in North Cave to piss the locals off
http://m.hulldailymail.co.uk/humber...town-council/story-29581620-detail/story.html Really? Seems to me it has been rejected on more than just the point you have highlighted. Infrastructure, bridge alterations etc etc.
I've no doubt, there are many variables, but as I simply stated, in my own experience. I've worked in Beverley before and have even eaten Burgess' ice cream. I've never heard Hull folk criticising Beverley folk for supporting City before either, but I acknowledge that it might have and might still happen.
Burnsy interviewed the bloke from Hessle Town Council the day after that article came out and he said it wasn't actually the attraction itself, but the enabling development that they really objected to, as it used up a lot of the car park (not that anyone uses that car park for anything other than visiting the bridge/country park, or a bit of dogging).
