Hull Daily ****e at it again.

My Mrs and family use Maftin and nithered, never heard of either before that.
unnecessary if you ask me, dont see whats wrong with ****ing freezing and ****ing boiling

 

I always thought Maftin was a shop on Hessle Road or a holiday camp in Lincolnshire. The kind of place you went to when you were kids, because it was cheap and fecking nasty, and your parents didn't know any better.

 

the funniest thing at Butlins Filey in the late 60s was the toilet signs which said Laddies and Lassies and the number of women going into the Laddies because they thought it said Ladies - on a separate note I remember years ago unscrewing the Ladies and Gents signs on the doors in a hotel corridor and changing them around at this function - hilarious at the time

 

That’s exactly what they said. They value clicks over people who have to **** about checking info and making a decision whether to cancel hotels or travel or not.
Whole business model relies on headlines to make people click, regardless whether the headline is anything like accurate or not

 

i've read that people in hull say "mafting" when it's raining all the time. they obviously do it when i'm not there. more than half a century of living in hull and i've yet to hear anyone say it. it's a bit like god - people keep saying it's so, but it isn't.

 

it says in the paper that the club has been sold.

 

today's article by peter swan. some numpty calling herself or himself lamplighter talking tosh in the comments several times. hope it's nobody on here.

see, i don't even know what it was supposed to mean!

 

Does someone posting positive comments about Hull City upset you in some way ? And it's not me by the way.

 

this is what i disagreed with. it didn't upset me. i just thought its main point was incorrect and that its writer is an idiot. those are thought i'm capable of having without an associated emotional response.

swan you and burns are the embarrassment , you have always been on the back of hull city managers from way back when Phil brown was here, the both of you loved the fish and chips and a free pint days when city was winning but the minute you had the chance you soon jumped ship and started sniping at every manager that has come since, you both rambled off garbage with your constant laughing and talking rubbish about other things instead of what you was supposed to do and that was commentate on the matches. i often listened to Humberside commentary on Grimsby town and Scunthorpe utd, and it was proper commentary on the games. no wonder the Allam's and McCann wont entertain you they are in a different league."

 

Bang on that

 

Chazz is lamplighter

 

Most words that get attributed to Hull are common across Yorkshire, I have heard Mafting used but ****ing boiling more, if you look up Mafting it says 'it's reet Mafting tonight' as Northern English so I suspect its really wessie lingo. No c**t in Hull says reet.

 

Indeed, this **** doesn't say it.

 

Rain = siling down

 

They do in John Godber plays about Hull.

 

I've never heard anyone use Mafting either. I think I've only ever seen it on here.

I have heard Siling it down for heavy rain but that's not just Hull.

It derives from the Scandinavian word Sil which means Sieve.
