Any recommendations?

The dream was where I was in a classroom and a teacher said to me make a space at your desk for this fella, he's probably going to be the only friend you'll ever have at this school. The guy he was referring to was incredibly annoying to be around in real life.

Hi all,

Please can you recommend me driving instructors/driving schools, especially places on the more affordable side.

Don't know how many people will see this but I appreciate any help I can

I'm turning 18 in December but we aren't sure what pubs will let us book an 18th birthday, the only place I knew would have been willow club, but they are all booked up for Christmas parties, and Ik alot of pubs don't accept 18th birthdays cos of a lot of legality issues with age groups (some people 17 and under some people older than 18, and not knowing who's what)

Any help will be appreciated cos I was really hoping for a big ish party for my 18th because both my 16th and thirteenth were ruined by covid and other stuff

Good evening,

Can anyone recommend a good agency ( which I can browse online) or website where I could look for a rental , possible short term? Want to be based in the Avenues area for a while to get a feel for it as I look to buy a property .

Single guy here, middle aged, so not looking for student accommodation.

Hi there I'm a student at Hull university and looking for someone to take over my contract for my accommodation if anyone is looking for a place pls do respond to this and il send a dm with all the details of the accommodation hope we can help each other out.

Thanks

I was walking down the path where there's some flats on one side and a grass verge backing onto the Spring Bank shops on the other side and someone at the end of the path on their bike shouts boo yaka yaka and I see a flash of light from a phone camera and he called me a sex offender and then says some other things barely audible.

I was rather stunned at this, but I'm worried that even though I'm completely innocent, there's some Facebook group he'll upload it to where people will take the posts at face value then beat me to death if they ever see me or others posted about in person.

Of course I don't think the police will be interested, but is this sort of thing a common occurrence around that area?

Can anyone recommend any cafes/ study spots open in Hull before 9? I do a mix of studying for my degree and freelance work and could do with a change of scenery.

I sometimes use the university library but it only opens at 9am out of exam season and sometimes wake up earlier 6-7 and don’t want to just sit in my room.

Thanks!

So, I'm back in Hull after going to university elsewhere, I'm now 22 and all my friends have left really. I live in the area but never really got involved in anything. Is there any alt/rock/metal scene, anything nerdy, outdoorsy or artistic, or just anything social and fun? I have a lot of interests, I'm really feeling alone and I want to go out more and meet more people.

Thanks guys :)

Can I throw all the books off the shelves onto the floor to vent my frustration over the fact that people expect me to skip about in the fields looking up to the sky with a huge grin sewn on my face despite the fact I'm facing destitution?

May have to go to London for some paperwork next year, and I’ve never been there - anyone here have any experience on trains to London from Hull and how busy they are? :)

Some of the prices are knocked from £120 to 30? Is it too good to be true?

I'm sick of sitting on TikTok and Roblox all day and want to earn money, or maybe if it's just work experience, I don't mind

Hello,

Has anyone figured out the changes to the buses yet? I noticed on the app that the 154 (now the 54) has turned blue and it looks like the fare is £4.90 compared to the usual £2.

Would this mean the previous NHS discount isn’t relevant anymore? Can’t seem to find any notice for this. Struggling to get my head around a commute to get from the city centre to Castle Hill.

If anyone has any ideas about this that would be really helpful, thanks :)

So ive not been to Hull since in 2003 i got a minibus to Spiders from my uni’s rock soc

I want to go back to the city to visit!

In these days are there any bars/weekly post 10pm clubnights to cater for rock/alt/indie at a push? Anywhere where local bands play? I know of oreilys as a lot of bands from my town play it

Bonus points for good beer but ive had atom and head of steam suggested too

With the possibility that Doncaster Airport might reopen, thought it would be interesting to gauge opinions from people in Hull about what they feel of Humberside Airport.

I know some don’t feel like it’s truly Hull’s airport. Historically a number of attempts were made to start an airport up near Hull. Hedon before WW2, someone had an idea for Catfoss after WW2 but it never materialised (they put missiles there instead for a bit!), Brough in the 60’s before someone had the bright idea of building a chimney on the Eastern approach which precluded commercial airline movements, Leconfield after Brough closed due to the aforementioned. The RAF never really liked sharing their airfield with the civvies, and because the Cowden bombing and gunnery range was used a fair bit by our RAF and American friends and that sort of activity generally doesn’t mix well with airliners carrying lots of people, no facilities were ever purpose built for civilian purposes (think they used an old WW2 building for customs facilities). Anyway that was fairly short lived and I think all commercial services from Leconfield (Hull) airport had finished by the end of 1973.

1974, the emergence of Humberside as a county and the development of an airport at former WW2 Lancaster bomber base, Kirmington. Went from strength to strength (relatively!) and after the opening of the Humber Bridge in 1981 the airport was within 30 minutes driving time of Hull City Centre (it’s 12 minutes from the bridge tolls, I drive it all the time), and after the runway extension completed in 1992, the airport really took off as a departure point for people wanting to travel to various destinations in the Mediterranean but not fancying the trek to Manchester. There were even some short season flights direct to Orlando and Dominican Republic in 1996/7!

Growth continued, at times it was the fastest growing regional airport in the U.K., until someone had the bright idea of opening an airport in Doncaster. Because it had a fairly long runway everyone thought it would instantly offer flights to all sorts of destinations around the world, perhaps they didn’t stop to think there was a fundamental flaw in that the airport was in, well, Doncaster, and there aren’t that many people wanting to fly from New York or Tokyo to do business in…. Doncaster. Unfortunately the owners, Peel, played a blinder and stole the largest tour operator at Humberside, Thomson, who commenced their flights from there in 2005 and systematically removed all of their flights to Doncaster over the following few years.

Some remained at Humberside, they had a short lived base with XL who offered various routes that Thomson used to. Then the financial crash hit and they went bust, as did a lot of the traditional tour operators that were the bread and butter of airports like Hunberside. Ryanair had flirted with Humberside over the years but sadly because Doncaster was so close the then majority shareholder, MAG, didn’t want to invest because of this new competition, the airport stagnated, eventually MAG sold up and it’s now in the hands of Bristow Helicopters who are based in Texas and I gather have never heard of Humberside as its turnover constitutes a rounding error in the grand scheme of things.

When Doncaster closed I had hoped that Humberside would regain some lost ground, sadly as soon as Doncaster closed there have been plans to reopen it (at great public expense), and as it’s unlikely to work again - who does the same thing twice and expects a different result? - so there has been no impetus from the management of Humberside to invest if there’s a risk they’ll lose business again.

I guess I’m interested in people’s opinions. KLM still fly from Humberside, they connect us to the world! It’s something I think we won’t appreciate until it’s gone. Should we make more of having Humberside on our doorstep? It is profitable, should Doncaster council really be investing £100,000,000.00 into something that has failed before because it’s too close to other much bigger airports to be competitive?

Humberside might be small, it might be across the bridge in a different county. But it’s 10 miles from Hull City Centre as the crow flies. It’s in profit again after a few years of modest losses. It connects us to the world. I fully believe if Doncaster Airport didn’t exist Humberside would have the likes of Jet2 and Ryanair now. Should we instead perhaps throw our support behind Humberside rather than a white elephant some 50 miles away?

Interested to hear what you good folk think.

To paint, hall, stairs, landing, bannisters, skirting etc.

Hi everyone. I need a replacement car but haven't bought one In 10 years so a bit out of the loop! Wondering if anyone has any advice on good places in the Hull and surrounding areas to buy a decent second hand car :) Thanks in advance!

Anyone run a maker space in Hull? I Have a 2 year old Ender 3 pro I no longer need and I am willing to donate it to one if you come and get it (East Hull) I tried to sell it but nobody wanted it...

Its in workign order but a pain in the arse to level (but if you know what you're doing I am sure you can do it in half an hour)

Thanks!

Anyone seen any starling murmurations in or around Hull, or up the coast? Would love to see some.
