I got out of the car today and for some strange reason got a wiff of the sea, even though I am no where near it, here in Hull.

As a result of this I developed a hugh bout of homesickness, I now have a craving to stand on the cliffs at Marsden and breathe in the sea. >:o(((((

What reminds you of home?

Hey Jay - so what was that cold wet stuff I used to stare at during my most excellent year in Hull, down by the quayside area ? I have to admit, mind, that I did my best not to smell it !

Thats the Humber mate people hve died trying to swim in there. That doesn't smell like the sea it smells for the most part like a sewer :o)

Nah you don't get the smell of the see here all that often. Mostly you get smells of beer, fish and cocoa.

And there was me thinking the North Sea washed right into the Humber, at least where the city is. I hope they weren't pulling my battered fish out of the river then, given the amount of time I was down the chipper. My endearing smell-memory from Hull was dope. Drifting down from the two hippy characters who lived upstairs from me. I was too busy guzzling the 1.40 a pint beer to stop and smell it :o))

and in answer to your question : watching the lads play home and away. And nights in decent pubs drinking bitter. Everything else (and a whole lot more) I have here in Sydney. Blessed I am :0))

Bitter, Loony, bitter ? Don't you mean Scotch ? :-|

can't say i blame anyone in hull from feeling homesick, but you're really not all that far away from the promised land. at least its not so unbearably flat where you live.... on second thoughts humberside, yeah it probably is.

I've clearly spent too long away from mecca Bill. Scotch is something I tend to put ice and a smidgeon of water in .... Oh dear, am I a bad person who won't now be offered a ticket for Boro away ??

Stevo - Hull's not such a bad place. You can have a top time there if you know where to look. And it's a damned sight closer to the promised land than 'Strylia

:-(

I've been here 4 years now. If I hated it that much I would have left long ago. Hull grows on you a bit like mould :o)

Just ignore my nitpicking Loony, just seems a bit flat on here and I had nowt better to do. Scraping the bottom of the Humber so to speak.

YOU ARE HOMESICK??

I am at the end of the first week of deep depression, seriously. All I have been thinking about is how to get back to Newcastle for the start of the season? I do not know how long this will last!!

To complicate things this fat git at work has just found out that his cousin has inherited a fortune (I was going to say has come into a fortune) but Gav may have taken a break from his annual 2 week work period. I may have gotton away with it! Anyway this said cousin has sent the fat git the airfare for a trip back to UK for Christmas, included is the 2 weeks prior to Christmas on Lanzerote, then back to UK for Christmas / New Year.

Then that Loony bloke, you know, him that knaas nowt aboot geography, has said he is heading back and wants a ticket for the smoggies match. Talk about the straw that broke the eye of a needle on a camels back!!!

Bottom line is any drug smuggler wanting in to OZ contact me at the address shown here. A price can be negotiated.

So haveing been denied the chance to see the lads play because the Attorney that I've been on trial with wants to broker a settlement with the opposition and he needs all the discovery at his disposal. I was rather miffed as I had planned the six hour drive yesterday, I get off the train only to come face to face with some bastard wearing a Manure shirt. Almost took his fat fookin face off just on principal
