John Prescott suffered from bulemia? That takes the big, chocolate-coated sugary calorific biscuit, that does. He's had some of the symptoms with none of the vomiting, from the look of him. Poor John. Someone was telling me about John when he went to an event at a Hull school last year and they'd laid on hot buttered scones as refreshment. John ate one, commented on how great they were and then ate another three as people stared on gobsmacked at his impressive intake. Then, scones scoffed, it was time to depart - as he left the school he swung by the kitchen. Everyone thought he was going to congratulate the kitchen staff for their fine baking but no, he came trotting out seconds later with a carrier bag full of scones. "To eat on the train!" he shouted as he squeezed out the school doors. What a guy. A fine ambassador for Hull and its many chubby folk.

Scone free...

Pure drivel...
John Prescott and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer announce their respective departures on the same day? Coincidence? I don't think so. Indeed, I think they're doing a job exchange - super sub Solskjaer destined to be parachuted in as the next Hull East MP, Prescott, with his working knowledge of strikes, taking his rightful place in the Manchester United lineup.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's not much happening round these parts. Picture on the right is a spot of messy tagging we saw at the side of the River Hull on our weekend riverside walk. Went to see Rupert Creed's Slavers last Friday and enjoyed Rupert's leftfield take on the over-egged theme (at last, a piece of work that didn't get bogged down in old Willie Wilberforce) and the superb execution by the youth theatre cast, who had a lot of words to chew on and spit back out. Hark at me, I sound about as objective as Jeffrey Archer after a night out at the theatre.
