Articles - Panic, Paranoia and Peter Levy's Top Lip By Joe Hakim

	The world is a welter of conflicting fanaticisms - Betrand Russell And so it begins... You can feel it, a charge building - energy rushing up through our veins, a huge shock to the brain, fuse has gone, no light anymore. The smell of candle wax in your nostrils. Squinting in the dark. The fuse has gone. Read more...

Articles, - The Drugs Box By Rich Mills

	The Drugs Box; I'd heard of these things, I'd even seen one once, but never had a chance to have a go on one. So when I got the chance to see one in action I jumped at it. As an ex Drugs Worker, particularly having worked with young people, one of these would have been invaluable. A fully interactive, touch screen, educational tool, ideal for use Read more...

Articles - Quitting My Job - A Prologue By Joe Hakim

The idea comes to me in a dream. I know listening to other people's dreams is more boring than listening to their problems, but bear with me. I grab an hour's kip before work, and I enter that half-asleep/half-awake state where dreams are vivid and loaded with symbols. I'm in my flat and I have a pet lion. I'm watching it run around, and I'm upset because I know that I have to get rid of it Read more...

Articles - Ladies and Gentlemen, the Freakshow is Over...For Now By Jane Foster

So, we finally have the official verdict on Michael Jackson - ill, but innocent; nuts, but not guilty; freaky, but to him and his equally barmy fans, free. Frankly I could never see what all the fuss was about. Surely anyone who has had to endure his tedious dance routine (consisting of squeals of Ow! Ee-hee! whilst grabbing his genitals) should be glad that at last he's moved on to fondling someone else's? Read more...

Articles - Gary Bushel - My Hero by Andrea Longstaff

	Why is it that the practical workman or Sun reader is as thick as pig shit? Is it a pre- requisite for tradesmen's school? One workman asked my boss What's your favourite colour? Dunno, red he says. I'm only the cleaner but I couldn't believe it. What an enthralling conversation, I had to say, Read more...

Articles - All Mod Cons By Jim Higo

	Jimmy Pursey once sang There's gonna be a borstal break out but I don't remember him going on to say, Just as soon as me and Andy get out of double Geography and Johnny finishes that History essay that has to be in tomorrow. Mind you Pursey also said Angels from nowhere places. So what does he know? Read more...

Articles - Mobile Phones: Pain or Pleasure? By Sandra Blemster

	Do you consider your mobile phone to be a pleasure or a proverbial pain, a help or a hindrance? Sandra Blemster investigates. In recent years we have seen a little known fad sweep over the nation and take it over with fervent ferocity. The name of the culprit? Mobile telephones. And, I must admit, until recently, I was not a fan at all. Read more...

Articles - The Sixties By Marion

	Everyone has memories from their childhood. Some of mine involve making a union jack windmill while at primary school, then standing on Beverley Road, waiting to wave it at the Queen, when she visited Hull once. Another thing that sticks in my memory was when a new food fad came into being: frozen beef-burgers, chips, and peas. I drove my poor mum mad wanting them all the time! Read more...

Articles - Birds in Hull By Pete and Sue

	In November 2004 Sue and I promised ourselves a really special present for Christmas this year, we needed something really special because of the shitty year we had had.

Articles - My Self Harm

	Why am I qualified to write this piece? Why, because I live with the reality of being a self-harmer each and every day. I started self-harming when I was about ten years old. It took the form of taking my penknife and trapping each one of my fingers whilst the blade was trying to shut. I would lie in bed to Read more...

Articles - Rock the Casbah By Jim Higo

Articles - Teenage Kicks By Jim Higo

Articles, Paranormal - Messages At Christmas By Graham Lee

Articles - About Crazy Shit By Joe Hakim

	So we stumble out of the horror of Christmas into the New Year, bleary-eyed and confused, with the nagging feeling we've missed something. I was working all through Christmas and New Year. Even though I spent New Year's Eve working, stood in Read more...
