Current Affairs - Saturday 23rd September 06 - Manchester Stop the War March By Mo with 7 page Photo Gallery.

After two nights in a row taking pictures at the Adelphi Club; Monkey Boy, Stop it your killing me,
Freaks Union on Thursday night and Afterglow, Tonik and The Shine on Friday,
I wasn't looking forward to a long day of photos at the Manchester Stop the War protest on Saturday.
It's Sunday morning now and my first memory is dropping off to sleep in the

Current Affairs -
America - no magic rabbit to pull out of the Iraqi hat By Martin Deane
|
|
I heard a story recently. A Labour MP met with Blair over Iraq.
Tony asked how things were in his constituency.
He replied "I've had 3 letters in support of the war - and 350 against!"
Blair, unfazed, said "Don't worry, the people will forget once the war is over."
We want UK troops out of Iraq. Get them out. Bring them home. End this monstrosity of lending

Articles - Death On Camera By Nicholas Boldock
|
|
I have just watched Death On Camera, the BBC documentary about Christopher Alder, who died in police custody in Hull in 1998. If you missed the programme and don't already know the case, here are the facts:
Christopher Alder was in Waterfront Nightclub on the night of April 1st, 1998. There was an altercation inside the club

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,

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,

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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,

Articles - Pitch Imperfect By Philip Wincolmlee Barnes

Tap, tap, tap.
That could have been the sound of my quasi-mystical Peruvian neighbour from down the corridor, wishing to speak to me about his recent dope-fuelled nightmares about witch doctors and wild, shape-shifting beasts. These hallucinations often disturbed him, and he sought comfort in my fancy Western logic or, more accurately,

Articles - Response To Lee Cassanell - Flood Aid - What's It All About? By John Fareham
|

So there I was, sitting at my laptop, supping a hot ribena (such is life in the fast lane when you have reached the end of a day when you couldn't trim your hedge because it was raining) when I spotted that Lee Cassanell, Ella Street's other hat wearer had written in.
Girding my loins ready for more action, and polishing up a few merry quips

Articles - Response To The Flood Aid Feud By War Drobe

So I'd just got back from the annual Greasyroots festival, soaked to the bone and
smelling of joss sticks, third rate cannabis and self-indulgent white middle-class liberals.
I sat down at my PC and there was the latest contribution to the Flood Aid Feud.
War between Chester Draws, Sir John Fareham and Lee Cassanell is brewing

Articles - Just Do It: The Swinging Sixties By Christine Park
|
|
Becoming a pensioner happens to other people, not me! So when I held my 60th birthday party
I affected a kind of put-on smile for the evening.
This did not amuse my daughter who had kindly arranged and paid for champagne.
She saw through the curled lip and told me to move on.
At the time I wasn't sure what she meant, but the following day

Articles - Response To John Fareham - Flood Aid - What's It All About? By Lee Cassanell

So I was sitting at my PC smoking a roll and reading the latest Hull Flood News when I chanced upon this little nugget from the right honourable Conservative compulsive hedge trimmer Sir John Fareham in his response to an article by the comically named Chester Draws.
"I think he tries too hard to disguise his identity, but not all that successfully

Articles - Is Modern Life Shit? By Scott Rorrison.

I was a reckless youth who, due to a heavy influence from Jim Morrison realised the importance of education at the age of about 19. Due to being a late starter I am still working at an engineering company for my sins whilst studying English with the O.U.
At this previously mentioned place of work the lads enjoy nothing more than listening to the local
