hull in the running

for the city of culture,its true

 

They've won!!!!!!

Now Hull will be the focus of the nation's attention so they can show everyone what great people they are.

 

i knew you would like this ,lets all move to hull

 

The City of Culture ....... ffs, the only 'culture' they have is on a mouldy sausage lodged underneath their fridge

 

Come on. You're not being completely fair there.

Hull introduced the world to the drink "Draaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaaaat Waaaaaaaan - with Aaaaaaaaaaaas".

They also had a few papier mache frogs scattered around the town centre a couple of years ago, as well as inspiring the classic Chris Rea song about the M62 - The Road to Hull!

 

Brilliant.About time a city in the North East won something!

 

This thread is not fair. Hull has been home to many important figures. Wilberforce for example. The leadinf figure in abolishing the slave trade.






He thought it unfair that the slaves had better living conditions than he had in his home town.

 

Hull in the North East....You wish!!

 

never thought I would hear Hull and Culture mentioned in the same sentence...what is the world coming to

 

Just heard this on the radio, the presenter burst out laughing

 

They'll pocket around 60m to invest.

If Sunderland city council got 60m wed probs get a new path and a bit of grass like the Vaux debacle.

 

Two words: 1:Glasgow and 2:Liverpool.




Say no more.

 

Well i never thought that either unless the words "has" and "no" were included in the sentence!!

I went there less than 4 months ago for work - the place makes Hendon and Byker look posh!

As you can tell - I;m brimming with jealousy

 

How do you pronounce sour grapes in S.Geordie?

 

Hull Tiger city has won something for once LOL well done but who really gives a ****. hull will always be a dump.

 

Scousers talk about that as if they were each awarded The Victoria Cross. Not been to Glasgow in years but the only difference in Liverpool was people were getting chucked out the back door instead of publicly humiliated via the front door when they got caught stealing from Primark.

I had to go to Hull one week for work, my secretary told me she'd booked me into a hotel on the Marina, I thought that would be a picturesque view from the 'balcony' (of course, there was no balcony) if anything. In hindsight I'd rather have spent a night camping in Fred & Rose West's back garden.

 

I would not have liked to seen you as a jilted teenager"just cos he"s better looking than me.Just cos he"s cool and trendy!"
Hull-2nd best team in North East
No.1 city of culture

 

What are you attempting to do with those quotation marks?

 

I'm pleased for them.......................the city that gave us Phillip Larkin
