    Went to the central library last night to see George Norris discuss his Made In Hull photo exhibition (he was interviewed for an hour, while his pictures were scrolled on a big screen above the stage).

    He's an old mate, so I'd actually seen most of the pictures already, but it was really entertaining hearing someone speak so passionately about Hull, particularly about the history of Hessle Road and his families horse trading and rag and bone business.

    It was a full house.

    Oh my, I am quite taken back by that program. The personal characteristics that form a major part of my life laid open.

    **** me, that was good

    Just watched the documentary. Tremendous to see so much effort put in by all sorts of people. Worth a watch. Proud of my home town...but this reinforced that sentiment.

    Can anyone remember the original name of the pub on the Marina which stood between Pepis and the River.
    It was called Ironworks when it was demolished but what was it at first?

    Hull needs more self-confidence and self-belief, just hope we know when to stop so as we avoid Cockney or Manc style hollow bluster and bullshit.
    What we need is a top music group, a supermodel and/or a great stand up comic (ideally all 3 simultaneously) to seal the deal.

    Here's hoping.

    Bloody hell, is that the Norris family who lived on the corner of Woodcock St and Saltburn St, back in the 60s 70s.

    Parents were Frank and Thelma ((I think). They were Tatters, horse called Dolly who took a lump out of me.

    Frank would come home drunk and sit on the outside lavvy and sing his heart out; folk loved it. Nobody ****ed with Thelma; the worlds best swiller!

    Yes it was a good programme. Though her comment attributing various characteristics of Hull were due to being next to the sea did have me muttering.

    His dad was there, doing a bit of heckling, he was quite funny. His mum died almost ten years ago. Some of the family are still tatters and horse dealers, though George isn't, he's been working on the rigs for decades.
