    Hybrid cars

    Being honest and without getting political (no intention of), I suspect pay per mile will be introduced for all vehicles in the next decade. They will test it with EV's and PHEV's first but it'll be brought in across the board at some point. It's just a nightmare thinking how it'll be...

    Hybrid cars

    Are you thinking of a mild hybrid or PHEV? I changed to a PHEV a few months ago and it takes a bit of getting used to but, overall, I quite like it.

    Off Topic Offensive jokes thread

    You'd think that'd solve the issue wouldn't you but these days so many people seem to take issue with others over any non-political views if they know that person doesn't agree with them politically. As Ric mentioned, many people have lost the ability to reason or accept other opinions if it...

    It will. If you read other clubs forums where political comments are allowed it's a ****show. You can sense the undercurrent of animosity amongst the posters even when they are discussing non-political topics. Keep politics off the forum - we have enough animosity just on football matters!!!!

    Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

    It was Radio 270. Funnily enough Don Robinson was one of the backers involved, long before his association with City.

    Worst players permanently signed for Hull City.

    Was it Chris Brass at Bury? Hilarious - I think I read that he broke his nose in the process but as he'd broken it a couple of times before and suffered breathing issues this one actually sorted that out!

    Worst players permanently signed for Hull City.

    When he moved to centre back I always remember hearing him on the radio coming out with the immortal phrase "it's easier to destroy than to create"!

    MOTM Doncaster Rovers (H)

    He took a knock on his shin with the last shot before full time so it may just be a bad bruise (hoping nothing worse!).

    Match Day Thread Hull City v Blackburn

    Yeah - I remember walking back to Anlaby and the fog had lifted completely. Terry Neill scored a rare one for us.

    New Manager Ideas

    It was. I remember us being 2-0 up and playing superb, exciting football before we seemed to lose our nerve (especially Parkinson) and it all started to fall apart. Up until half-time in that game I thought we were on a roll and were destined for some real success that season.

    Off Topic Holidays

    It certainly is beautiful. We hired an Air BnB in (virtually) the middle of nowhere in Goods Point, Dyer Bay near Steuben a few years ago. Perfect peace and fantastic views.
