Find some good stuff doing family trees. My great grandad spent two periods in military prison while in the Royal Marines before being wounded twice in WW1. Came home and got knocked down on Hedon Rd. I was told he was quite a tough chap. No **** Sherlock.

My Grandfather was in the East Yorkshire’s during World War 1. He was gassed and taken for dead. He ended up in a mortuary with Pennies over his eyes where upon he woke up and was declared not dead. Piece about him and that adventure in the HDM a few years ago.

In other news, there's a hugely important (and lucrative) sponsorship on it's way that should be announced in the coming days. Dunno if it's been mentioned, been playing football (mystery signing isn't me, sorry to keep your socks on).

Has the biscuit man finally dipped his chocolate fingers in his pockets?

I really hope this thread is just a bunch of people in on the joke, but for anyone that isn't - it was an offhand joke about Guess Who and nothing more.

Starboard probably ;)

My old man’s
I do seem to recall him saying he’d done it a bit and found one that was deported for killing someone in a bare knuckle boxing match.

Can’t understand how I’m so delicate and sensitive…

I had a relative who lived in the Spring Bank area. He came from a family who owned a big manufacturing company in Hull making copper and steel cylinders. But he was the black sheep of the family and went to sea instead. He was on the Atlantic Convoys in WW2. He told me some cracking stories about old Hull. He was a big fella too, and once involved in a bare knuckle boxing match on West Park one Sunday morning and over 1,000 people turned up for it. He was also held in a prison in Africa on a trumped up murder charge when a ship he was on docked there. It took a diplomat to fly out from London to get him released. Also he was invovled in a dominos match in Polar Bear and he picked a cheat up and threw him through one of the windows onto the street. Despite coming from a very wealthy Hull family and traveling around the world seven times as a seaman, he finished up as a labourer at Ideal Standard and died in a council house off Park Street.
