	The Clauberg Opera are a horrible band of horrible people, making horrible noise and they need executing.

Articles - David Icke - Big Brother - The Big Picture By Michelle Dee

	I believe in non violent non co-operation against a system that seeks to enslave us. Election fever has hit the Howden and Haltemprice constituency and today the 2nd July space is at a premium in the conference room of the Willerby Manor Hotel where candidate David Icke is holding his first press conference after deciding to run in the pending by-election. Thisisull.com Read more...

Articles - The 'Big Brother' By-election Is Beginning To Stink, Says Candidate Icke By David Icke

Ed Vaizey Why are 'Neocons' behind the Big Brother State supporting David Davis in his 'opposition' to the Big Brother State? Conservative Member of Parliament, Ed Vaizey came to the Haltemprice and Howden 'Big Brother' by-election campaign to 'support' the stance that his colleague David Davis claims to be waging against an Orwellian society. This is very strange given Vaizey's background Read more...

Articles - The Burning Question: Can a Tribute Act Be Better Than The Real Thing? By Steve Rudd

	In a word: yes. A tribute act most definitely can be better than the real thing. Should anybody hanker after proof, then I recommend catching a show by Steve Steinman, an extraordinary singer/ performer from the Newark area who has been wowing crowds the world over for the best part of the past twenty years. At the moment Steve is dividing his attention between two Read more...

Articles - The Future of Sex By Christopher Skolik

	We live in a landscape of strange potential. Where attitudes and psychological states can be adopted and discarded, where mental disorders have become fashion accessories, where homosexuality and 'gay' have become separated to such an extent that to be homosexual and not subscribe to the 'gay' myth is a form of heresy. The human body is not equipped to deal with the Read more...

Articles - Local Election Sex Shocker Special By Lee Cassanell

	Yes it's that time of year folks. The leaflets have been distributed, babies have been kissed and your local politicians have been photographed with some wheel chair bound thalidomide. Now I have nothing against people suffering from the thald, in fact I once spent a steaming evening with a short armed seductress and I found her to be both passionate and Read more...

Articles - Tibet Protests and Britain's Moral Weight By Martin Deane Green Party (01482) 471467

The news over the weekend was full of the protests in London over the Olympic torch being carried through London for the Olympics in Beijing, China. There were 37 arrests in London with China expressing disgust at such protests. The protests were for the cause of Tibet which has seen a clampdown in recent months by the Chinese occupying authorities including much brutality, wounding and a number of deaths. Read more...

Articles - Jobcentre Plus Part 4 - 'Tis a Tangled Web We Weave By Martin Nickson

	I don't know how many of you have read Jared Diamond's work, but in his fine treatise Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, a main tenant of the gentleman's work focuses on (perhaps I should have said 'talks about issues around') observations that the collapse of seemingly viable, complex civilisations Read more...

Articles - Hull The Only Place In The UK Where You Do not Have A Choice. By Alan Dalgairns

	I'm sitting here in my home in hull typing this article but the only way I can send it is by email using Kingston Communications phone line supported by Karoo broadband and this is the only town in the UK in this position... well that's not strictly true, I could go back to dial-up and take Hull24's service or I could start a wireless contract with any of the Read more...

Articles - Kevin Marshall's Antiques in Florida By Robert J Smithson

	I was born in Hull in 1960 on Etherington road, worked on my father's barges on the Humber from 13-18 years old, then worked for my fathers company Trinity Graphic which used to be on Hawthorne Ave, Hessle road, until I set up Trinity Graphic USA in Sarasota Florida in 1988, and moved to a sunny Paradise. This is my story on my association with Kevin, The Antiques Warehouse, Read more...

Articles - Kevin Marshall Antiques Warehouse By Michelle Dee

	In 1984 it was called The Curio Shop - the old sign is clearly visible upstairs- and well it might have been, for the cornucopia of curious objects it housed. A visit to an antiques warehouse may not be everyone's idea of an interesting and worthwhile morning, and if truth be told I wasn't as excited as others in our party. In fact I was even a little nervous, Read more...

Articles - That Crazy Business of Filmmaking! By Eddie Rex

That marvellous procedure of making a film is often one that drives me mad! As director I usually find props, location, actors, camera, then edit and distribute the film afterwards. I can always rely on myself, but when it's someone else I often have to wait my turn. Some actors do not turn up because they 'forgot,' others complain when I refute their suggestions, and nothing gets done meaning I have to Read more...

Articles - Jobcentre Plus Part 3 - My First Signing By Martin Nickson

	I successfully completed my claim at the dole office and guided my career councillor through the options available to me. After I had explained to Mike (it wasn't the original cyborg after all, alas), what a Further Education Lecturer did, and explained the process of qualification needed for this career, we quickly assessed his career options. Read more...

Articles - Match Day By Andy Carrington

	Why is it you don't see these wankers all week, and then all of a sudden on a Saturday afternoon there they are, littered all over the centre city like they own the fucking place? I hate football. Not that it's changed much since I was a lad. I used to watch it with my Pa all the time, even back when they had terraces. More recently though, namely the past four Read more...

Articles - Jobcentre Plus Part 2 - More Madness By Martin Nickson

	Well after the adventures described in Website Madness 1061459431_martinwebsitemadness.html, I thought it would be unkind to leave the tale incomplete - who was it said 'A start, a middle and an end'. As it turns out, my previous post was only the start, this missive represents the early middle, and the end is some way off. Read more...

Articles, Health - Common Running Injuries By Dr. Steven Bartz

	In my last article I reviewed some of the recent research that may indicate that typical aerobic exercise such as distance running may be more problematic than just your common office visit injuries many doctors see in their offices. As a recap, the evidence seems to show a relationship that generic "aerobics" may actually cause a reduction in Read more...

Articles, Health - Is Running Killing You? By Dr. Steven Bartz

	I'm about to slaughter the sacred cow of athletics. Running. In particular, long distance running. Oh, I can hear the hate mail rolling in already. Don't get me wrong I love runners, they account for a large portion of my patient base. I used to be a runner, until I got tired of all the consistent injuries that I was dealing with. You see I was probably Read more...

Articles - Jobcentre Plus Part 1 - Website Madness By Martin Nickson

As background to this post, part of the 'deal' that Nel and I have, now she has a permanent post, is that I have the liberty to pursue a new career direction, if I should choose. Her achievement in gaining liberation from post-doctoral purgatory (AKA 'getting a job') has given us a degree of financial security that we've never had before, which in turn gives me more freedom to work in a job that I do not hate. Read more...

Articles - A Very British Train Journey By Martin Nickson

	Extract taken from my blog about my experiences since recently returning to the UK, specifically Hull, after 10 years abroad, mostly in Canada. It's 19.38, late summer by English standards, and I'm in full wet weather cycling regalia returning from yet another eternally long day at work. I have full panniers, in one side is a bag of cat food, Read more...
