My sister lives in Brighton and she genuinely does not understand why I care about Hull City. She asked me last week why I was stressed about a football game and I tried to explain and I could hear how insane it sounded coming out of my mouth. Because twenty two men I've never met are kicking a...

I'm going with fourth because I'm an optimist. The January signings have given us a proper squad for the first time this season and the confidence is sky high. My only worry is what happens if Vipotnik gets injured because we don't really have a replacement who can score fifteen goals. Apart...

Took the kids and they were fascinated. My daughter asked about a hundred questions about how people lived on such a small ship for weeks at a time. The interactive bits are well done for children and the volunteers who show you round clearly have a personal connection to the fishing industry...

I do classes at the Leisure Centre on Beverley Road and they're really good. The spin classes are intense and the instructors actually push you. Costs about thirty quid a month for unlimited classes which I think is decent. The pool is a bonus if you want to swim as well. For something different...

Trinity Market every time for a quick lunch. The Caribbean stall does a jerk chicken rice box that's honestly restaurant quality for about eight quid. My daughter loves the crepe place too so it's easy to keep everyone happy. Humber Street is more of a treat, somewhere I'd go for a birthday...

Absolutely yes. I'm a single mum with a seven year old and Hull has been brilliant for us. I could never afford a house in most cities but here I've got a three bed semi with a garden in a nice area. The schools in west Hull are good, there's loads of free stuff to do with kids, and the...

My granddad was a trawlerman. He never talked about it much but my nan used to tell us stories about him going away for three weeks at a time and her not knowing if he was coming back. The street I grew up on near Hessle Road, nearly every family had someone who worked on the trawlers. That...

There's a good one at the showground on Walton Street that runs most Sundays through spring and summer. It's not massive but I've found some brilliant kids toys and clothes there for next to nothing. My daughter got a box of Lego for a quid last time which kept her busy for about three weeks...

Took my daughter to the Stoke game and Vipotnik was the only name she remembered afterwards. She keeps asking me if he's playing this weekend. When a seven year old who barely understands football is excited about watching a player you know he's something special. He just has this energy about...

Drove past Beverley Road Baths the other day and it hit me with a massive wave of nostalgia. I learned to swim there when I was about five. The smell of chlorine, the freezing cold changing rooms, the instructor shouting at you from the side while you desperately tried not to drown. Those old...

My boiler's packed in and the heating's gone right before the cold snap this week. Typical. Rang three plumbers this morning and nobody can come until next week. One quoted me four hundred quid just to look at it which feels like robbery. Does anyone have a reliable plumber they can recommend...

Went into Princes Quay last weekend for the first time in months and it was depressing. Half the shops are empty, there was barely anyone in there, and the food court upstairs feels like a ghost town compared to what it used to be. I remember when that place was buzzing. Going there as a kid was...

She's seven and has been asking to go for months so I finally took her to the Stoke game. Just wanted to share because it was such a lovely experience. We were in the family section in the West Stand and honestly the club have done a really good job making it welcoming for kids. The stewards...
