Two Sides : A Friday Night Out In Hull (3/6) By Joe Hakim

(1/6), (2/6), (3/6), (4/6), (5/6), (6/6).

After tea's finished, I get a beer from the fridge and go up to me room. I usually don't like to smoke too much before I go out because it mongs you out and you end up sat in a corner all night wondering what the fuck's going on, but I decide to treat myself to a couple of shady bongs. I have a quick go on me PS2 and then I decide to get me shit together and get in the shower. After I finish, I have another bong. I'm looking through me wardrobe and I can't find me new shirt, so I shout downstairs, "MAM - Where's me new fuckin' shirt, have you ironed it?"

"It's down here," she replies. "Come and get it yerself yer lazy little fucker." I'm cursing as I go downstairs, but I take the opportunity to grab another beer. I'm on my way upstairs and then the fuckin' doorbell goes. "Dean, are you gonna get it or what?" me mam says. I trudge back downstairs and open the door. It's Mark. "Aren't yer ready yet?" he says. "Yer worse than a fuckin' bitch."

Katie:

We meet up with the rest of the girls in town and go to Cheeky Monkey's. It's absolutely packed, so we only stay for a couple before nipping in HU1. After that we go to Yello. Katie's off on one, dancing and shouting. A group of lads are dancing with her, all trying their luck, but she's not interested. In the space of about twenty minutes we neck three bottles of WKD and three Sambucas. I'm pretty fucked by the time we get in Retro. "Are we having a good time or what?" Heather shouts in my ear, above the thudding bass line.

I smile and say, "Yeah," but I feel like spewing already. We have a few in Retro before heading off to Magma. As the alcohol makes it way through my system, everything starts to blur. I loosen up a bit and have a dance with Katie. This lad comes over and starts dancing with me. He looks a bit fucked, his eyes are bloodshot, but he's alright, I suppose. He's quite tall and he's got a skinhead - the type I go for - so I let him carry on dancing with me for a while.

His mate latches onto Katie, and the other girls we're out with go off somewhere and we lose them. "Where yer going after this?" the lad asks me. "Depends," I reply. "What yer drinking?" he asks. "Get me an red Aftershock, if you want." "Coming right up." His mate goes to the bar with him, so Katie comes over and sits and has a quick cig. "What do you think?" she asks.

"He's alright," I reply. "Looks a bit smashed, but there you go. And you?" "Yeah, not bad. Bit full of himself, but he's quite fit. Shall we go to a club with them?" "May as well." The lads return from the bar, drinks in hand. "There yer go ladies," the one I've been dancing with says as he places it on the table in front of me. I pick up the glass of sickly smelling liquid and knock it down in one go.

	Over the past 4 weeks work has been underway, dismantling this ancient bridge and after many years out of commission, and derelict, much work is needed to get it back in running order. The first bridge over the entrance to Humber Dock was installed around 1824 but replaced in the 1840's. Due to damage, worn or rotten structures, expenditure on the swing bridge Read more...

Articles - Memories of Hull By Frank Storey

I was most interested to read the article by John Firth regarding the fish shop owned by his grandmother in Redbourne Street. I worked at Gordon Street Police Station in the ranks of Constable, Sergeant and Inspector during the period 1947 to 1966, I well remember the Beatles visit - they used my office to get changed! I had a great leg pull with a young girl who was an avid Beatles fan, - we gave her a cigarette end Read more...

Articles - The Thames Whale By Michelle Dee

Sometime on Friday 20th January a bottle nosed whale was spotted in the Thames River. This unusual event caused quite a stir in the capital later that day the 18ft whale tried to beach itself in the shallow waters by Westminster Bridge. Volunteers and specialists alike tried to encourage the whale back the way it came into the deeper parts of the river. On the Saturday it was thought to have gone back towards the mouth Read more...

Articles - Partners In Parallel At Law Firm By Julian Woodford

	The truth really is stranger than fiction. Who'd have believed that the lives and careers of two young women lawyers could have followed such remarkably similar and parallel paths - and without them knowing it. Claire Ramsden and Jane Longhorn, who have just been made new partners at the Hull firm, Williamsons Solicitors, both started their education at the same Read more...

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 of Read more...

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 Read more...

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 Read more...

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. Read more...

Articles - Made In Hull: Stories 1969 - 2005 Part 3 By Rich Mills

	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, Read more...

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 Read more...

Articles - Made In Hull: Stories 1969 - 2005 Part 2 By Rich Mills

	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, from when Read more...

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 Read more...

Articles - Made In Hull: Stories 1969 - 2005 Part 1 By Rich Mills

	A romper suit with plastic feet, dancing to the transistor radio placed high up on the kitchen shelf. We really did have a mouse that lived in the skirting-boards of the kitchen, didn't we? Lift the lid on the Danset, slap on the vinyl, drop the needle. Here comes the crackling sounds of my deep grooved and somewhat scratched Pinky and Perky LP, Jungle Book Read more...

Articles - Love Me, Love My Band By Kate Wood

	So I met someone. He was charming, well-read, funny and heartbreakingly cute. He liked my Yoko Ono jokes and my love of lab coats. I also think he could even put up with my snotty elitism when it came to music. This is it, I thought, Romance at last! And I love romance. If I could pick any line that describes my outlook on love, life and the universe it would be Read more...

Articles - My Saturday Nights By Harry Slater

We'd kill for the four o'clock stumble home at around one, when the cocktails are just about to kick in, and we're forgetting the indignity of cheap fucks bumming cigarettes off us. Acute nihilism's filling the air, the kind of repulsion that drags you away from sense, sends your head spiralling into the same unforgettable-dross filled rant about how we're all better than the people who are Read more...

Articles - There's Nothing Familiar Within 500 Miles! By Matt Hill in Thailand.

I finally managed to get a picture with some People in for you, this was taken yesterday in my favourite tea shop. The entire bill came to less than a pound, the tea's really thick and sweet, and they leave plates of cakes, buns and somosas on the table in a clever ploy to get you scoffing. So, I've hit the half way point of my time here and suddenly everything's changed - when, at first, I Read more...

Articles - Hami Kurd's Response to "At a Turning Point?" by Gary Craig 25/7/05

	This is a Hami Kurd response to the above report by Professor Gary Craig. This was a research report on race relations in Hull. It seems that Gary Craig has sentenced the research to be negative before he even started writing it. Below is what we think of it as a Kurdish community living in this city with normal people of Hull, not behind nice desks and offices. Read more...
