Quoted from buckstown
My feelings towards the royal family are somewhat apathetic, but the designation of Doncaster as a city nudges me gently towards the republican door.
She can't have been can she??


It’s a great night out so maybe she’s done that!

Quoted from Poojah


Real funny place, Hull. You’ve got the bizarre and grating accent, obviously, but I found myself in the city centre on business not long before the pandemic.

I had an hour to kill before my train so nipped into the ‘spoons across the road, the Admiral of the Humber, for a swift pint. It was about half past two on a Tuesday afternoon and so I expected it to be dead; how wrong was I? It was absolutely mobbed; quite literally standing room only in this massive pub, fighting to get to the bar like a payday weekend Saturday night. I think the average number of teeth per person was about 5. Likewise the number of face tattoos.

Don’t get me wrong, NE Lincs is not without its problems, but Christ almighty, Hull has some serious socioeconomic issues.


I spent over 3 months in Hull Royal Infirmary, any longer I reckon I'd have been scarred for life (well I am really   )

It all started the first morning when the girl asked me if I wanted terrst with my breakfast!

I come from Hull originally but give me Cleethorpes any day, we all laughed when Hull was awarded the "City Of Culture"

My father was  a massive Tigers fan, took me to Boothferry Park as a kid, Chilton, Simpkin, Waggy and all that, decent side but give me Waters, Cumming and Drinks any day.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

My brother was in Castle Hill hospital. He complained that he couldn't understand half of the staff. I said are they foreign? He replied, "its not the foreigners, I can understand them, it's the locals I can't understand!"

There isn’t another place in the UK with such a misplaced high opinion of itself than Hull.

Quoted from Limerick Mariner
We were the first "Town" in the football league, so probably the first "Town" in the world, that shouldn't ever be changed. Lincoln were the first "City" - Manchester City and Birmingham and Stoke weren't called "City" in 1892. So Lincs had the first Town v City derby.


This is a fantastic fact. Never knew that. ‘We are town.’

Oh, I don't know. It would be going some to beat Newcastle or Liverpool in those stakes.
