last time I was in Hull I saw

1) A pimp smack his bitch up
2) A girl/ woman (says she was 18 looked about 40) with no teeth in a kebab shop trying to get me back to her place for some (gummy) lovin.

I made my excuses and left

Think the kebab was nice though so maybe that is a +1 for Hull

Its an award that you give to cities that are complete tulipholes and could do with some tourism or something to give them reason to clean the place up a bit. Winning for 2017 allows them time to build some new 'contemporary' phallic concrete buildings and for public officials to pocket hundreds of thousands of pounds through their own private service companies.

If that were true Dunstable would be a shoe in. No wait it's not a city. But if there were a town of culture, based on that logic, it's a shoe in for 2017.

Not completely fair; in 2018 Leeuwarden in Friesland will be the City of Culture; it's really a very nice place, but perhaps it could to with a tourism boost. On the other hand, perhaps it couldn't because I'd prefer it to stay a nice place.

That is the European Capital of Culture, UK City Of Culture is a poor alternative

The Housemartins were from 'ull. That's all I know about 'culture' in 'ull.

I'd be happy if they just learnt to pronounce the H in their city name

So true

They've more chance of getting Britain running on renewable energy

They have more hope of the Pope converting to Islam!

I think it means they are trying to introduce culture to Hull by 2017
