I can race cross country MTB on 85kg limit wheels now.

Is that per wheel?

It's a tricycle!

But seriously, well done.

CM says I have to stop being mean to you - she doesn't understand...

Come on Chubba, don't be coy - how heavy are you these days?

It wasn't quite big enough. And the rats that took up home one evening didn't appreciate being evicted come morning.

The whiffs of burnt flux as I was soldering was heavenly.

Must've been a big hole!

I worked on a telephone cable down a hole at the back of Pywipe for a few days one hot summer.

You'd be in a air-conditioned office no doubt, wimp!

Wherease Grimsby is a hole at the back of the Humber. You got it easy Threaded

I had an excellent telephone interview a couple of weeks back....

Then I found out that the role was in Grimsby

I think my final words were "no fooking chance"!

The Humber Bridge is not actually in Hull but in the East Riding of Yorkshire (2 different authorities).

Hull is home to the largest council estate in Europe (Bransholme) - that is depressing

Looks like the Jockey from Shameless:

I hear today that Humberside Council are spending £4.5 million on anti-suicide fencing for the Humber Bridge.

Surely it would make more sense to just make Hull a far less depressing place?

How exactly do you propose to make Hull a far less depressing place?

Dynamite?
Napalm?

Hull doesn't have any BT phones - it's the only place in the country that has always had its own phone network, independent of the GPO or, later, BT

UPDATE: Linky

I seem to remember it being a decent sight cheaper than BT too.

The best thing in Hull are the ferry services. I used to use the Hull-Zeebrugge service on a regular basis and it meant I got a decent kip (complete with wake up cup of tea) rather than driving through the night. The food wasn't great but it was still better than motorway services.

Top tip. In bound to Hull, ignore the breakfast on board and hit the docker's canteen for the Full English instead.
