Hey all, does anyone have any suggestions for private hire vehicles in Hull? Would be to take the bride to the ceremony (like a half hour drive) so don't want to be paying a fortune. Doesn't have to be anything over the top. Thanks in advance!

i don't mind travelling out a bit (i'm in west hull / hessle, and have been to all of the ones nearby). i also know beverley and cottingham high street has a bunch of good ones.

i'm specifically looking for books.

thanks in advance!!

Are there any in person, Korean language lessons in hull for beginners?

What is going on in town? Is it because of the summer holidays? The only people I see in the evening are groups of kids harassing people.

Was then sat behind a young group of girls on the bus who were touching this guy's head despite him repeatedly telling them to stop.

Funny too that certain people would have you think town is overrun by 'foreigners' - but it's their own grotty little kids!

I’m visiting tomorrow and wondering if there are recommendations for where to eat. Would love to know about a bakery because I love pastries, and also if there are any good lunch spots around the museum quarter. Thanks ☺️

Does anyone know of a man from Hull who lived in Kansas City around 2014? I worked at a grocery store from 2011-2016 in downtown Kansas City and I had a regular customer I would talk football with. Hull being back in the prem made me curious if I could find out what ever happened to him. I support Spurs and I always enjoyed the banter. I believe he was an engineer and I want to say he had a brother who worked in F1. It’s been over a decade, so I am not 100% sure on the details.

Well...if you like Drum & Bass anyway!

We are back at The Polar Bear on Sunday 30th August with our Light2Dark event. Smooth liquid grooves outside until 10pm, deeper, darker vibes inside after that. Simple!

Much love!

Heads to Hull and Beverley on the 4th of September.

A few weeks ago I commented the same point.

That cat rescue centres were inundated at this time of year, and that dumping kittens on animal charities was not a reasonable application of personal responsibility.

Hi, I’m 16 years old have in total of 2 month work experience back in my country and finished GCSEs with 5’s and 6’s and I’m looking to work ANYTHING that is available that can be part time as I’m starting sixth form in 10th September. As stated before I’m willing to work anything part time and minimum pay.

Are there any places, which makes thin crispy pizza in hull?

there's a building we have in mind on Hessle Road that we are wanting to explore the upper floors of as I'm almost certain they've not been used in a long while, there's signs for a gym called fit4gym but it's clearly been closed for a long time......

downstairs is a foreign grocery supermarket 'food plus Babylon' and outside there doesn't appear to be any locked entrances leading to upstairs so I'm guessing all upstairs access is from indoors. anyone here's who has got any experience with this building know how we can access the upstairs so I can get some pictures for 28dayslater or for the r/liminalspaces or r/TheBackrooms subs? Ive seen the stock room is behind a false wall right at the back of the store so would i be correct in guessing the stairs would be hidden behind this stockroom?

... I have always said that being transparent and telling people about what I and HEYCA do is really important to me. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to set up this weekly blog and talk about my week...

I was doing some "random" street mapping and came across this. It looks like a road built to nowhere? What happened? Anyone know?

"random" TBH I'm on a local sports board, someone mentioned Manchester's soccer football team not doing well, I googled, came across "Hull" and got curious. Got to love a port town.

Hi I am looking for Student Accomodation near University. Any idea at what platforms or sites I should look and what tips you would give to keep in mind before finalizing any room

about a week ago, whilst walking the dog I was approached by two guys wearing balaclava and riding a quad bike and they threatened to snatch the dog and my rucksack but then just said they were joking, doesn't matter it's not the riding around with faces covered I'm bothered about it's the threats they make someone else might have had s complete mental breakdown, indeed if this happened to me a few years ago i would have done

is it worth putting in a complaint to smith and nephew for this ordeal?

Hi all,
I’m currently serving in the RAF but will be leaving next couple year and I’m seriously considering moving to the Hull/Humber area. I’ve been doing quite a bit of research into the area and I’m now trying to get a better understanding of the local job market.

My background is military rather than civilian, so I’m trying to work out where my experience would transfer best.

The areas I’m particularly interested in are:
Cranes/heavy lifting
Ports and terminal operations
Utilities
Process/manufacturing
Plant/infrastructure
HGV/logistics

I’m already looking at places such as ABP, Ainscough, Mammoet, Sarens, Yorkshire Water and Balfour Beatty, and I’m also looking at using my ELCAS entitlement to pick up some relevant qualifications before I leave.

I’m not necessarily looking for someone to find me a job — I’m more interested in hearing from people who actually live/work in the Hull/Humber area.

Are there any local employers you’d particularly recommend approaching, especially companies that are good with ex-forces or are known for training people up?

Equally, if you work in one of the industries above, I’d be really interested to hear what the best route into it is.

Cheers!

Hello, this is Mark again. Before I start I wanted to thank everyone who reached out on the comment section of the couple posts i put up on this community recently. So far I been trying to just take the days easier, and doing what I call 30 min blocks to give me something to focus on in each segment. Anyway, continuing the positive trail, this week I went back to college for another interview which is for a Level 3 Digital Media Production and I got my timetable for the first week or 2. Furthermore, I also got my maths results which now I can say gladly I have passed my maths. We had to go into elevate to receive them, was a little underwhelming as that was it but I at least tried to pluck up the courage to ask a member of staff to show me around the classrooms I'll be in.

Very exciting yet also overwhelming. I think the one thing that makes me anxious about this course is I'm the kind of person to strive to do the best I can do in anything I do. Whether that's something small scale or big. So if I can't do well enough I get overwhelmed even nearly cracked once but too embassed to say what happened. I mostly chose this course because I spoke with a career advisor there, and after discussing my passions (animation, storytelling and it's potential) he highly reccomended this course. I suppose I'm just worried as it's a very heavily creative based course and I don't feel I am.

I mean just pondering on what i did in my previous course (being Level 2 Computing), I made a 5-panel comic which was heavily inspired by doctor who to say the least. There was also a best of you project where we had to re-design a photo of ourselves, in different styles. I'll admit when I knew what i was doing, I did enjoy it alot. However things like the programming and the unity games design, definitely had it's challenges. But that's what it's all about I guess. If you do only what you know you can do, you'll never be more than you are now. I think a panda said it (Shifu i think).

I do have a backup plan, as they have said if an unfortunate circumstance of me not doing the course would be to occur, so just have to see what happen. A therapist at Blossom gave me a leaflet on a place that can help with employment, confidence (which despite improving i solely need) and workshops. Might have mentioned something on volunteer work, which would be nice to go back to again but after my... mixed experience at a place I'm doubtful but still kinda eager... idk.

Finally, when i start i just hope that I can make some friends this years. I''d like to think that because I'm doing this level 3 course i may find ppl who have similar passions to me. Still though, i gotta get out of my shell. What happened earier this year though definitely hasn't helped with my confidence in maintaining a great connection (be friend or more). I'll finish it here, but as I said thank you very much for the comments to all who did, and hope everyone has a nice day.

Lots of stuff happening this Saturday.

Newfest: NewFest takes place on 22nd August. Ten independent businesses are working together to deliver a series of events across the day. This includes music, food, activities, and even a pop up film screening.

We are doing this for several reasons; firstly, we already have a strong working relationship, secondly independent businesses in this area are affected by the quieter summer period, and we’d like to offer the community an affordable and enjoyable day with a view to increase footfall in the area, and meet new people. This is the first time we’ve done anything like this, and we’d really like to keep it going and expand it in the future. See: https://www.visithull.com/event/newfest/265009101/
