    <laugh> I have to admit that when I'm in non native Hull company that I'm particularly careful in pronouncing couldn't properly.

    I have to chuckle to myself when I think back to the couple of weeks that we spent recently in the US with some fantastic people, I'm pretty sure that my missus and I slipped a couple of ****s out along the way, but our American friends were obviously far too polite to mention it <laugh>

    To be fair to the driver, he was upstairs collecting fares at the time.

    Bloody hell

    Neither do I

    On balance probably cry for the mixture of stupidity, poverty (or at the very least the desire to be better off) and the easy access to powerful handguns that caused it

    Firing a .50 calibre pistol into someone's chest, protected only by a book, from 12 inches away qualifies as pure stupidity to be fair. I fired a Colt 45 when I was across the pond and the recoil could break your ****ing wrist if you weren't careful!

    It's not just that, it's the draw of 'fame on social media' that's driven them to do it. Kids all over the place these days see being a you-tuber as a sound career choice. I'm not knocking it unilaterally, there's some talented folk on there but when people think doing something dumb is going to make them rich and famous questions have to be asked!

    City fan banned for three years for throwing a plastic bottle. It didn't hit anyone as far as I can tell no other info. How pathetic is that.

    If you get caught throwing a bottle into the away end, you're going to get a three year banning order.

    They only have the one sledgehammer to hit you with and they don't accept 'I missed' as a defence.

    Any instances of rugby fans ever getting a banning order?

    As they're actually called Football Banning Orders and only apply to offences at (or around) football matches, it seems unlikely.

    But that's ridiculous, as immediately I thought it was Terry. Cos it looks exactly like him.
