Holidays
- A night in a Haunted Inn By Stuart Batley
|
|
After watching many episodes of Most Haunted on Living TV and finding it very interesting, my partner and I decided to spend a night in a haunted inn previously visited by the Most Haunted team and investigate for ourselves.
Loaded with many ghost hunting

Holidays - Ibiza, The World Keeps Gurning By Andi
|
|
Ibiza has long been known as the clubbing capital of the world. However, recent
years have seen the development of resorts such as Ayai Nappa in Cyprus
and Faliraki in Rhodes.
This has lead to a fairly wide-spread belief that Ibiza is dying it's death.

Holidays - Al's Trip To Croatia By Allen Miles
|
|
£649 is a lot of money in most people's eyes. And to spend that much money on seven days away when
you're only earning £130 a week might be in a very real way considered lunacy.
However, I decided to go for three reasons;

Holidays
- Simple Holiday Pleasures by Mike
|
|
The time was 7.30 am and I was already awake. Liz stirred as I crept out of
the caravan without waking Alex and Anna. From our elevated position overlooking the bay,
the Med looked as calm as a millpond. The panoramic view was stunning as usual.

Holidays - Prague by Nicholas Boldock
|
|
So off we went. On arrival at Ruzyne airport, my main worry was that our taxi driver would not be there. For some reason this was the thing I was most concerned about. My fears were unfounded.

Holidays - Cyprus by Petra
|
|
One dismal Monday afternoon I was sitting in the pub with my neighbour David, bemoaning the weather and feeling miserable, when David uttered the immortal words "let's go on holiday". Quicker than you can say " Linford Christie" we were at the travel agents choosing our destination.

Going Down - Sunday 27th August 06 - Concrete Jam at East Hull Skate Park By Dick Spring
|
|
With pretty much most people who would have been interested in an event like this decamped
to Leeds Festival, it could have been deemed a major faux pas on the part of the organisers
of the first Concrete Jam, to hold the event on this particular weekend.
Concrete Jam was a one day festival of music and sport incorporating competitions for both
inline and

Going Down - Live Music - Saturday 24th June 06 - Urban Artz Festival at East Park By Quiffy
|
|
What does it take to get people to come out in Hull? A free concert and hundreds, not
thousands, came out to enjoy the bands and sunshine.
The event had a great ambience to it and everyone there seemed to enjoy the day.
Paul from the White Room held things together with some in between band chat and introductions.
The opening band were pretty hardcore

Going Down - Live Music - Saturday 24th June 06 - Urban Artz Festival at East Park By Michelle Dee Photo Gallery by Mo and Tony
|
|
I arrived at East Park at around two in the afternoon just in time to catch Nat
from the Johnny Go Go Go's finishing her set at the acoustic tent.
She was singing about empty food cupboards, slugs and tight-fisted bosses.
The three go hand in hand quite nicely if you think about it a minute.
Natalie has been bathing her toes in the bohemian stream for the past year,

Going Down - Live Music - Saturday 24th June 06 - Foghorn Sound System at the Urban Artz Festival By Benjamin Woodling Photographs by Barry Thompson, Focal Image
|
|
Seemingly beamed down from a parallel planet of sound, the enigmatic Foghorn Collective deliver
an afternoon of house music, deep and progressive and trancey and trippy, to the good people of East Hull.
Lee is scattering beats into the sunshine when I arrive. His set has an energised party vibe.
Next door a younger crew have established their own dance tent

Going Down - Hull Mela Festival Sunday 31st July 2005 by Jane Foster
|
|
This year saw Hull's first ever Mela festival held at Pearson Park. A Mela is a traditional festival which originates from India. A welcome event (especially as there was no Grassroots festival this year), it brought together and celebrated the diverse communities of Hull. It was a successful day, well attended and enjoyed by both the public and the performers.

Going Down - Ella Street Festival Saturday 9th July 2005 by Jane Foster
|
|
As a resident of Ella Street I was pleased as punch to hear that this year we would be
holding our very own festival, open to everyone.
A group of residents had got together and organised this - well done to them all.
About a week ago the banner and bright bunting went up, and the street held its
breath waiting for this very special event...

Going Down - Cycling into Poverty History Monday 27th June 2005 By Martin Deane
|
|
"Don't tell the other towns, but Hull was the best reception we ever got!"
Bright and early, by some measures - ok, 9am - 24 cyclists from Hull gathered by the café and then made their way over the Humber Bridge. The River Humber, she what drains a fifth of the country and puts more freshwater into
the North Sea than any other, looked absolutely

Going Down - The Make Poverty History March, in Retrospect By Bill Linton
|
|
Well, the G8 season seems to have kicked off to a good start this year with Live 8 concerts internationally.
Predictably, the Hyde Park concert gained almost wall to wall coverage on television and in the news,
although media interest in the Make Poverty History march in Edinburgh was somewhat less

Going Down - Make Poverty History Demonstration in Edinburgh 2nd July 2005 by Rich Mills
|
|
Having been a political activist for many years now, when the Make Poverty History
demonstration came around, we just had to do something about it.
The result being that with a lot of work from Martin Deane collecting money in,
we managed to send a hundred people up to Edinburgh for the day.
Along with another hundred or so who made their own way up to Scotland, Hull was well represented.

Going Down - G8 2005 Demonstration in Edinburgh by Mike Rose
|
|
On Saturday 2nd July we joined what turned out to be the biggest political
demonstration in Scottish history. I've been on G8 demos before (Prague 2000 - Genoa 2001)
but this one was the most diverse I have ever witnessed. The response from the churches was stunning.
We had socialists, environmentalists, Christians, students, pensioners, and babies!

Going Down - Make Poverty History March In Edinburgh By Sarah Golightley
|
|
There is nothing I loathe more than the sound of one of those wretched free ring tones on
my mobile twanging away at 5 o'clock in the morning; especially when 5 o' clock is only three
hours after I went to sleep following a night of clubbing at Fuel and accidentally locking
my friends out of their own house.
And then trying to let them in

Going Down - Make Poverty History Demonstration in Edinburgh 2nd July 2005 By Mo
|
|
Martin Deane invited me along with 2 full coach loads of people from Hull to the
Make Poverty History Demonstration in Edinburgh on the 2nd July 2005.
It was an early start, 6am, because we had a long 6 hour trip up to Scotland (and
another 6 hours back which I tried to forget) as we hopped aboard that drizzly morning.
I'd packed my sandwiches, water etc and had a flask of hot coffee prepared for me
