Kristian passes the baton to DJ Priya's new right hand man, Uncle Dave (star of Day-Glo Disco and long time friend of Yo-Yo) who joins an elite band of merry helpers Read more...

Coming Up - Friday 25th July ThisisUll Live Presents The Clauberg Opera, Santa's Bugger Boys and Alison Angus at The New Adelphi
	The Clauberg Opera are a horrible band of horrible people, making horrible noise and they need executing. In fact, they need hanging from the Hull City Hall, along with council leader Carl Minns as a move to clean up the city. The ungodly trio, Mayhem, Sorry and Monster, have released two E.P.s, Death Of This City and Abomination. Read more...

Coming Up - Thursday17th July 08 - Jamie (Black and White Tango) At The Square Bar Hull
	The new place to be on an evening is The Square on Spring Bank. Sophisticated clientele with food and a well stocked bar to match. Whilst you choose from the special selection of European bottled beers and enjoy the tempting Tapas dishes and more fresh from The Square's kitchen, your night will be enhanced yet further by a young hugely talented pianist destined for great things. Read more...

Opinions - David Icke blows away 400 people at a Free Public Meeting on Sunday, July 6th By Mo
	Believe him or not David Icke is one of very few people who can hold an audience in the palm of his hand for many hours, well beyond the one and a half hours reported on the internet. His three and a half hour talk enthralled the audience with revelations beyond the scheming Big Brother drones in the Tory and Labour parties to the fact that Neocons' behind the Big Brother State Read more...

Opinions - The BBC Dipping into Youtube for Viewers By Mo UPDATED BBC's BBC Phil Hayton Denies All knowlege
	The British Broadcasting Corporation, which is usually known simply as the BBC, is the world's largest broadcasting corporation. It has 28,000 employees in the United Kingdom alone and an annual budget of more than £4 billion. Founded on 18 October 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company Ltd, it was subsequently granted a Royal Charter and Read more...

Opinions - Response to The BBC Dipping into YouTube for Viewers By Martin Deane
	Fire away Mo! Seconds out, round two. I actually have a soft spot for the Beeb but no, it's not my unrequited love for Neighbours or the Archers. Forgive me for lumping them together, apparently they're different despite hugely annoying theme tunes, but you may not know where I'm coming from yet. This is despite not having a TV licence which is how the BBC funds itself Read more...

Opinions - Lies And War Crimes By Michelle Dee
	The words "weapons of mass destruction" were noticeably absent from the speech by George W. Bush on the fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion. The apocalyptic rhetoric used to firstly motivate the political will then move the might of the military forces was replaced by talk of regime change and removing Saddam Hussein from power. It is illegal to go to war in order to Read more...

Opinions - Censored By D R Callaghan
	A few minutes ago I used the readers comments facility in the online Hull Daily Mail to comment on the main story about the killing of Simon Murden. My comment: Ironic is it not? that the police are unable to crack down on the alcohol-fuelled yobs terrorising families, shopkeepers and the elderly, yet when faced with a young man who needs medical attention they can pump six bullets into him Read more...

Opinions - The Sexuality of the 9/11 Attacks By Christopher Skolik
	The Pentagon is itself a potent symbol of manhood and military virility. It goes without saying that was an act of violent homoerotic self extinction and assault-as if the terrorists could not survive such an act of homoerotic penetration, their out dated belief system and self ideation would not allow it-no matter how metaphorical the act. Only the unification of sex and death could breach that gap. Read more...

Opinions - Iraq War Theme Park By Christopher Skolik
	War seems to be a human necessity, a requirement on some basic level. To counteract the dangers of random disorganised war springing up I suggest we turn Iraq into a fully functioning war zone theme park -all the benefits of paint balling but with the relief of tension that only live ammunition and Read more...

Opinions - Notes Toward a Chavology By Christopher Skolik
	The local Hull 'chav' lad needs profiling and placing in his rightful context. Fiercely proud of his 'thickness'- intelligence is not to be trusted, it might unleash all kinds of awful weirdness upon his world, a world he clings to with the whitened knuckles of the drowning man, the perennial cry of 'Don't get clever with me' echoes across council estates of the north ... Read more...

Opinions - Maureen Lipman at Pave By Sean
	Just saw Maureen Lipman at a reading at the Pave. It took two attempts to gain entrance. At the first attempt i was turned away on the grounds that it was a private function - apparently i didn't look 'Avenues' enough. I'm Avenues enough to have my taxes pay for it, mind. I just got in in time to catch a couple of 'anecdotes' which mocked the poverty of working Read more...

Opinions - All At Sea Or Way Out West? (Orwellian Nightmare Or Whitehall Farce?) By D R Callaghan
	Admiral Sir Alan West wants us to 'snitch' on our neighbours, friends and even on our own family. Who's he? I hear you ask. He's none other than the Government's new 'Security Minister'. Isn't it comforting to know that we now have a 'Security Minister' (Big Brother?) looking after our 'way of life'? The former First Sea Lord also warned that Britain faces a 15-year battle Read more...

Opinions - Candle In The Wind By Jim Higo
	Who'd want to be a Bosnian landmine victim? Terrible injuries, lost limbs, scarred for life and then to cap it all, when you thought it couldn't get any worse, you get a visit from Princess Diana. Just when it seemed your life had reached its absolute nadir, you see her coming at you with those big eyes, like a spaced out Desert Orchid. Read more...

Opinions - Depart For New Earth By David Sloan
	Depart for new earth AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Professor Stephen Hawking said recently that for the human race to survive we must gain a foothold on another planet, and as if by divine intervention our astronomers soon found another earth-like planet in the heavens. It has a mass five times that of earth and is probably made of the same sort of rock with Read more...

Opinions - Trees Are Bastards By Sally Satan
	Now amidst all the current chatter of climate change inevitably being a Bad Thing, the still small voice of calm must be heard. How many people do you know who have died recently as a direct result of climate change? Exactly. None. And yet we go on, beating ourselves up for being human and not animal or mineral, and for ruining the planet. But we should Read more...

Opinions - The Reception of Wisdom By Kenton Hall
	There is a story that I tell. I likely tell it far too often and one of these days, a friend or family member is going to sneak up behind me and garrotte me with a length of fishing line. No, it's not the one about that. Or that one, either. Now that I think about it, there are many stories that I tell too often. However, the story I am referring to today recalls the moment Read more...

Opinions - Divided We Fall By Lee Cassanell

	"The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them" Karl Marx So Tony Blair's pledge to end poverty has taken a kick in the teeth after the news that 300,000 (or 200,000 or 100,000 depending on which paper or website you read) more children have slipped below the line. Read more...

Opinions - Real Men Do Not Need Real Doll.com By Jo Allison
	At age 12, little girls and boys should put Barbie and Ken back to sleep safely in their plastic boxes, as adults move on from pretend friends, to actual ones. But for a select group of scary cyborg-lovers who prefer plastic to flesh, life size Real Dolls made from 100% silicone are the next step up from Barbie dolls. They make the perfect playmates, so I'm told. But who exactly Read more...

Opinions - Goody, Goody, Yum, Yum - Racism and Jade Goody By Lee Cassanell
	We all decry prejudice, yet are all prejudiced; Herbert Spencer The problem with racism is there is currently no well known or vicious enough word that another race can use to discriminate against white people. In fact during an extensive search of the internet the only even mildly offensive term I could find was "Honky" and if you are white and offended Read more...

Opinions - In Response To Fiona Carr's Hands On Our Arts By Esther Windsor
	I am writing in response to Fiona Carr's recent article Hands On Our Arts in the Opinions section of thisisull.com : /opinions/1605225053_fionacarr.html to say that Hull Time Based Arts is alive and well. In the article discussing funding of art and cultural services in Hull she says 'We have seen the collapse of Hull Art Lab, we saw Hull Time Based Arts Read more...
