I see that comet in charge of some Ship version of the Survivor franchise is an early favourite.

What's the point of being a divinely-appointed all-powerful ***** if you can't abuse your power in a fragrant way?

Glad to see I'm mainly with the masses on this poll!

And shouldn't that be "Should polls be allowed in Hull?" given the current title of the board?
Is there any reason to exclude the good citizens of Hull? [Paranoid]

Quite so.

And flagrantly trinitarian:

Eph 5:1-2

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

While comet is comfortably in the lead, it's slightly troubling that Sioni is being beaten as an option by PeteC who isn't even on staff anymore.

Can some people vote for Sioni before he sees this and feels insecure? It could be very awkward.


Oh, wait... damn. Damn damn damn damn.

That's not an entirely bad thing. Usually when you work out what he's saying, it's actually quite sensible. Obviously it takes 3 weeks or so to work out what he was actually saying and by then...

In a landmark discovery, Hull University's librarians have recently uncovered some old notebooks from behind the shelves in a forgotten corner of their poetry section. Thought to be by the former librarian, these manuscripts cast a new light on the city, as seen by one of the country's foremost modern poets.

It fucks you up, living in in Hull
You might not realise but it will
You start becoming deathly dull
Then end up with the urge to kill

Your kids get fucked up in their turn
Bye strange folk from East Yorkshire's flats
Who stand in dole queues, dressed so stern
In faded coats and woolen hats

You'll jump off of the Humber Bridge
Once Hull has put you beyond help
Get out as early as you can
Sell up, move out, go somewhere else!

--------------------
Preach Christ, because this old humanity has used up all hopes and expectations, but in Christ hope lives and remains.

But by the time you've worked out what he's saying you find that some nice terraced housing has been razed to the ground, there's a bus lane on a motorway and your secretary is, er, doing someone else's typing.

There's a joke in Spaced where they keep saying "Hell" instead of "Hull" (the city), so I immediately thought of that.

...depends on whether that involves actually *taking care* of them.

On THIS board, I'm sure there'd be sc*** for treating them a little creatively.

EDIT: Oh for fuck's sake, the blocking of partial words that happen to share letters with certain blocked words in an attempt to stop people working their way around the blocks is really damn hard to predict.

Hull was once voted the crappest town in the UK to live in. Didn't occur to me that anything else was meant.
