    I agree, it could've been a real piece synonymous with Hull in the way that the Angel of the North (load of ****e) is with Newcastle / Gateshead.

    I loved it! BUT how long before some idiot attacks it with a spray can? I think they're planning a permanent place for it? Hopefully be in a secured setting?

    Well, if you can see anything gay in a massive, rigid man stood proudly erect atop a hill, arms outstretched, welcoming all-comers then I pity you Kemps, I really do.

    Has anyone ever seen anyone go in there?

    I hear they do really well, but I've never seen anyone going into any of their stores, I pass the one on the A63 all the time and there's never any cars there and it's not like you can walk to it.

    Weird.

    Confusing place.


    Went in there a couple of months ago and ordered half a kilo of puy lentils and a strawberry daiquiri.

    Couldn't provide me with either.

    A few ticket sites now say tickets will be available from 10.00am tomorrow, but I don't think CoC are one of them, I don't think it;s one of their events.

    Life-sized sculptures exhibition to celebrate Hull and Iceland links

    Ten life-sized sculptures of figures marking the links between Hull and Iceland are to go on show at the University of Hull later this month.

    The bronze statues will form an art trail on the Cottingham Road campus and represent navigation markers known as Cairns, which are piles of stones used as landmarks in Iceland to guide both ships to the harbour and people on land.

    please log in to view this image


    They are part of the university's Cairns exhibition and have been produced by Icelandic artist Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir, who created the bronze 'Voyage' figure, which was stolen from the pier in 2011 and later replaced.

    A specially commissioned composition will be performed by lecturer and trumpeter Dr Simon Desbruslais at the foot of the Voyage statue as part of John Grant's North Atlantic Flux: Sounds from Smoky Bay festival, which starts on 28 April.
