As someone who grew up down the road from Hull, take it from me, the place is a shithole.

Large parts of it are, but there are some nice areas.. aren't there..

Yes, the A1079 which goes to York.

Trust me, I've been to Hull and back.

Are you trying to say conversate? Jeez

Conversate isn't a real word, is it? Please tell me it's not.

Urban Dictionary: conversate

Apparently it's also in the real dictionary as well. Where the fck is that B Ark? We really need it, although I fear it will be very crowded.

God, no. But I was under the impression it was the brutalisation de rigueur over here.

Not all of it. .... My mother came from Hull.

Well, it's in the Mirriam-Webster dictionary anyway. Doesn't seem to be in the Oxford, from what I can tell.

The B Ark would be full to overflowing. We'd be down around T by now.

I hear things like winningest or burglarize more commonly than that one. Or the perenially awful irregardless.

like everywhere in the
U.K. you can find better and you can find worse. Depends what you want. East Yorks is vastly under rated, lovely countryside & beaches. Hull has friendly people. Some fab pubs and restaurants. Decent University. Still relatively affordable housing. Industry just about hanging on with Siemens building a new facility for wind turbines.

And Hull is the UK city of culture for 2017, so looking forward to a bit of investment and media attention.

East Yorkshire itself is great. It's just Hull that's shit. Housing is still affordable because of the lack of decent jobs. As for Hull being a city of culture, I assume they're talking about the type you find in yogurts.

I don't find the word terribly pleasing myself, but I was told by someone that it is actually grammatically correct ...

People who bring their dogs onto our high school running track and ignore the "no animals" sign. Nothing worse than trying to jog a couple of miles with someone's yapping little pooch at their heels

Presumably someone who is American? ...... What's wrong with "healthy"?
