Off Topic Hull Fair

Just driven down chants and spring bank hardly a car on the road, no one going?

 

They're all still there from last night stuck in the air

 

Why do we always say 'Hull' Fair? Which other one would we be meaning?

It's odd because most other names locally get shortened.

 

What you mean H Fair?

 

I heard there's a variety of street food down Walton this year.

Any recommendations?

 

I know a guy who could help you with name shortening. He has a place near the Circle.

 

Bob Carvers for pattie and chips (even though his patties are not the best)
For dessert, bag of brandy snap, candy floss, and a bar of nougat.

A quick spin on the walzers and you will be ready for the pub, is brickmakers still there?

 

Perhaps the increasing cost of living is having a 'feck that' effect.

Ps. Is it effect or affect?

 

Effect.

 

As far as I've known, we've always asked each other "you off to fair?"

 

That and Covid. Usually the kids I teach are excited about going, only 2 have been this year so far, some are worried about being crammed into crowds with maskless people. I don’t blame them.

 

I went for a walk round on Saturday, it was not much gone 1pm and Fair was already packed both along the length of Walton st and inside where all of the major rides were already going, i commented at the time how the warm weather must of brought everyone out though it was pointed out to me the lack of any Fair last year proberbly also helped.
I also travelled past mid monday afternoon and again the length of Walton st looked packed and much busier for that time of day than i've ever seen in other years.

As for the covid comments re some of the kids being scared, that's just sick that the media and government and some adults have done this to kids with there constant fear porn and proberganda for a group who are at as close to zero risk from covid as possible !

 

Just driven down the M62 and seen the two advertising hoardings on the side of a couple of articulated lorries parked up in a field this side of Leeds advertising 'Europe's largest travelling funfair'. Apparently it's next to 'Hull's Football Stadium'.

 

I think some of the misinformation pumped out by the teachers unions would have added to that fear, especially if it was a topic of discussion with teachers.

 

I am currently isolating with covid.
Its flu for heavens sake. Thousands of people a year die of flu. Thats nothing new and no reason to shut the country down

Those dirty ****ing lizard people erecting their 5g masts will pay for this once the Mayan calendar comes to pass.

 

Er... it is?

I think approximately ever single person in Hull (and outside of Hull) would understand which football ground to head for. And no, it's not Dene Park.

 

I always shorten it by removing the word ‘Hull’ and replace it with the phrase ‘all the fun of the’

Went Saturday afternoon with Grandkids, and it was very pleasant
