Some months ago I wrote about a grant of £50,000 from the National Lottery to an institution to find the Hullness of Hull. Not surprisingly this generated a lot of interest and that article remains the most-viewed article on this blog. You can find it at http://steveodare.blogspot.com/2011/01/50000-to-identify-hullness-in-hull.html if you would care to have a read.
Without going to the lengths of asking the National Lottery for a similar figure to carry out my own research, although I could do with the cash, let me pose the question to all you readers. What is the Skegnessness of Skegness. What is it about Skegness that makes it, well, Skegness in your eyes?
Either comment below, on facebook, or send your answers to me on the back of a ten pound note!!!!!

Skegness Leads - Hull Follows
Remember this from the SO Festival?
The Levity II Luminarium. This was an added extra at the superb SO Festival 2011. Well now Hull have got the same thing as the centre-piece for their Freedom Festival.
I wish them all the success in the world with their festival but purely out of pride in my home-town, I would say:
Luminarium - Skegness - Been there; done that; got the T-Shirt.
What inovative things will we come up with next year?

Gratified.
Just a big thank you to all who have viewed my recent poetic posts. They have proven very popular. Be warned, there may be some more!!
I normally get plenty of views in the first few days after uploading a post but I am always very surprised to see posts still being viewed a couple of months after they have been published.
My most popular post by a long way has been "The Monty Python Football" post and that is followed by the "Hullness of Hull" article. I try to keep the blog as eclectic as possible and there couldn't be two more different posts proving the most popular.
Again, thanks to all those that view my bleatings. It is pleasing that there are so many of you.

£50,000 To Identify The Hullness In Hull?
Just seen on the news (Look North) that the National Lottery have given some organisation or other £50,000 to identify what makes Hull, Hull. They call it Hullness. What?
Is that really the best that can be done with the money raised by the National Lottery?
Sometimes I think that the National Lottery makes an art-form out of wasting it's resources.

HE WOULDN'T BE GRINNING IF HE KNEW HOW MUCH MONEY WAS BEING WASTED IN HIS NAME!!!
