Articles - More Famous Than Christmas By Jim Higo
|
|
You can guarantee that some things never change. Sickening over-indulgence, excessive eating and drunken abuse of your work colleagues, followed by obnoxious obscenities, mindless violence and the inability to string together a coherent sentence.
Yes, that's John Prescott for you.
This Christmas I have managed to stay as close as possible to the true and original meaning

Articles - Consolation Prize By Lydia Rivlin
|
|
I came to Hull at the beginning of the year, to run as the Conservative Candidate for Hull North.
I am a Leeds girl and would have loved to have got back to Yorkshire (yeah, I know
Hull is supposed to be a separate entity, but as I said, I'm a Leeds girl).
Well, I didn't make it. Labour got the seat and what I got was the consolation prize.
Although we are all familiar with the expression

Articles - I'm Dreaming Of A Weird Christmas
By Maurice Fairfield
|
|
I spent roughly half my life in Hull and the North of England and I could count the number of White Christmases on one hand. Cold, yes. Wet, yes. Bitterly cold, yes, but rarely white.
Yet most of the cards featured gabled houses with icicles dangling from the eaves.
Horses pulling sleighs, and always masses of that frigid white stuff.
Most of the yuletide snow I have seen is artificial

Articles - Made In Hull: Stories 1969 - 2005 Part 4 By Rich Mills
|
|
Through the large glass double doors I could see a number of other residents. All were transfixed by the pretty flashing lights emanating from the box in the corner, but I knew they were all fully aware of Laura and I approaching. We stood for a moment watching the specimens through the glass, briefly examining their static behaviour as they gave nothing away except a sense of loss.

Waiting in A&E. Too much time spent sitting, waiting, hour upon hour. I wanted to get up and leave so many times, but I knew that I had to stay and keep waiting. For all our sakes! The intensity of the situation made my head ache, but I breathed through it and sunk my head into my hands, still waiting.
Among the drawn-out periods of waiting there were breaks,

Articles - Ten Foot Titans By Rich Mills
|
|
Long summer Sundays when I was a kid were spent running around,
plastic machine gun gripped tightly in my hands, throwing myself onto
the hot concrete as imagined bullets flew overhead. Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat.
Andy came running full pelt down the ten-foot, Uzi tucked close to his side,
spraying invisible hot lead along the side of Brown Owl's fence.
Jamie bursts out of his back

Much of the lower half of his face was carpeted with a dense mat of short-cropped wire.
Stroking his hand across his chin, he evoked a long distant memory of adolescent profundity.
Another's name floated into his mind, Pat, he'd always thought that was a girl's name,
short for Patricia. However Pat was also the name of his former college lecturer,

Articles - For Those About to Rock...We Salute You...Again!
by Joolz
|
|
For those of a certain age and musical leaning, the name Trog Bar will hold great memories.
For a goodly number of years, Trog Bar was the place to go on a night out if you liked your
music Loud and Rockin'.
The place itself seemed to act as a gravitational force to all with long hair, tattoos,
denim jackets and a preference for patchouli.
It wasn't the sort of venue
