    Just glancing as you do at the front page headlines and there's three - three count em - stories on the home page alone today about people being massive twats when tanked up. Is Hull becoming increasingly dangerous, has it always been this bad or is there some kind of HDM / police crusade to name and shame at the minute? Either way it's pretty bloody horrific.

    Is that the right link, there seems to be just one article about a bloke getting in a scrap at Springhead after drinking eleven pints?

    Women and beer in excess are a toxic cocktail - best to be avoided.

    I saw the Springhead one, one about a fella who beat up his missus because she didn't enjoy a curry, and a biting incident at an amateur boxing night at the KC. But that list will no doubt be getting updated regularly.

    But Springhead isn't in Hull

    Is East Riding getting more violent?

    I go out quite a lot, but I hardly ever see anything like this happening. Maybe we're getting things out of proportion?

    Just thoguht I'd chuck that in.

    There's absolutely no mention of booze in two of those articles.

    Agree. It is very rare.

    But I suppose drunken brawls are entertaining news in a way.

    Three incidents in how long? With the seeming increase in domestic violence, it sounds like Hull centre pub's are about the safest place to be.

    There's a reason they had to stop using glass pint containers and move to plastic ones in most city centre pubs.

    Aye, over dramatising a situation.

    That's an interesting point - I read both and didn't notice that.

    A jury was shown CCTV footage of Mr Mallinson and Mr Taylor later fighting in the bar after Mr Mallinson had come in and put his bag down.
    Mr Riley said he felt the atmosphere change just before the fight in the bar and was asked by Richard Thompson, defending, to explain what he meant.


    Bars tend to be linked to booze.

    You're right however about the curry one, but as they ate it at 2am I assumed - perhaps wrongly - that booze was involved. So there's 2 articles today alone, probably not worth a mention then.....

    It was an event in the Wilberforce Suite at the KC, the whole room as a bar, you couldn't be there and not be in the bar (unless you were in the toilet/changing room), booze obviously wasn't a major factor, as it's not even mentioned.

    So, as there was only one drink related story in the HDM, the answer to your original question is probably no.

    You know for a fact there was no drink involved in the other 2 then? Course you do, Warren Joyce probably told you.

    I've no idea, but as drink is not mentioned in either article, they can hardly be described as booze related articles. <doh>

    Calm down Bum old chap. We had a boarder at my school who was very similar to you. We named him Trumper because whatever you would say he would trump it. He was never wrong and if you had a black dog his dog was blacker.

    Take a yellow card.
