Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The Arctic Corsair moves to her final berth along the River Hull. She represents the cities long history of trawling, a moving memorial to the thousands who died fishing at sea. #arcticcorsair 020
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Hull's last sidewinder trawler makes a final journey to her new permanent berth in North End shipyard. #arcticcorsair 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Cloud is covering the sky here in Hull... but the refracted light from my camera lens appears to reveal the eclipse! #eclipse 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Colander eclipse going ever so well in northern England. #eclipse 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I took this picture in 2019 when the #ArcticCorsair began her restoration journey. Tomorrow, restored at last, she moves to a final River Hull home at North End Shipyard. (Please do not republish without asking first, especially if you are part of Reach PLC) 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Thanks for the link, but it still leaves me wondering how figures based on immediate data could possibly be identifying the age of those viewers last night? Genuinely interested. (Quotes below from the BARB website link) 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Except it's the lead story on the BBC news index... 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 08/05/2026BBC cuts have arrived. Apparently BBC Scotland is now only available in black and white. 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Wow, who knew the BBC was closing its Weather department? 100
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 20/11/2025Taking a little winter break on Gran Canaria. Apparently it's snowing at home in Yorkshire. 020
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 09/11/2025When the onscreen caption can have more than one interpretation... 0180
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Fabulous journalism from #TimeOut... lifted from a National Geographic story. Except, Time Out didn't bother to check if Hull is actually by the sea. It isn't. Oh well. 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 06/10/2025#Hull looking at its best today, beautiful views across the Humber 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 02/10/2025We just happened across it while heading to London. 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Just before sunrise in #Hull this morning. September prepares to leave us in style! 021
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Just had a Lancaster bomber fly over the flat here in Hull... with an inquisitive pigeon looking on! 010
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 07/09/2025A brilliant afternoon spent with the Railway Children, steam trains and the lovely team of volunteers at #Bradford2025 Fabulous production on the Keighley and Worth Valley Steam Railway line. 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Good grief, didn't realise Skeggy had space for that many hotels? 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 03/09/2025Amazing to think they'd move on to measuring radio audiences just a century later. (*industry gag, obvs) 010
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 16/08/2025I do love the choices you can make on here... especially "muted" text and tags. Months ago I added three words to the list... today my Discovery feed has been a joy because of one of those muted words. 😁 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Had a grand tour round Hull Minster earlier, up the tower and out onto the roof. Grand views. #HEYVolunteers 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 21/07/2025There's a certain scowl about the view across the Humber estuary today. 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Just spotted myself at Wembley, 40 years ago! #LiveAid40 030
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Just enjoyed the conclusion of season 2 of #TraitorsNZ, just screening here in the UK. Brilliant viewing and hat's off to a master host in Paul Henry, a wonderful mix of hilarious and slightly deranged! 030
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 05/06/2025@scottygb.bsky.social ITV1 having a major problem... 200
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Great night at the Grand Jury Final at the #ESC in Basel last night. No spoilers, you'll have to watch the real thing tonight... but I will just say that Nemo has visited a hardware store in preparation. 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Basel has some fabulous surprises as you walk round. River banks bursting with wild meadow flowers, ornate and historic drinking fountains and special bike tracks on bridge stairs. It's also a brilliantly organised Eurovision city to be in, a credit to the local organisers. #Eurovision2025 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 16/05/2025The distinguished older gent in the distance, on the little stage, is being egged on by an Irish contingent on the left, and currently belting out a reprise of Loreen's "Euphoria"! It's a marvelous moment in Eurovision history here in Basel! #eurovision2025 000
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Meanwhile Basel looking rather grand tonight for those of us not with a Semi ticket, fabulous atmosphere in town! 010
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Enjoying an afternoon soaking up some sun in Basel, Switzerland. #esc2025 020
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 11/05/2025I made an appearance, briefly, on BBC2 this evening. Well, the back of my head did. The documentary tells the story of the horrific fire at Bradford City Football Club, 40 years ago. It's not an easy watch, but such an important piece of history to be retold. It's on the BBC iPlayer. 010
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Utterly disgusting behaviour by a duo of American bullies. I sincerely hope Buckingham Palace was watching and removes the State visit invitation. Trump's childish shouting and pointing, while Vance jeered from the sidelines, pathetic. NATO should not be a home to these thugs. 210
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Sad to hear of the passing of legendary Hull based broadcaster Tim Jibson. I remember listening to his Paull Hunsley Electric Wireless Show many decades ago. It was a thrill to then later work with him at Viking & Radio Humberside. He'll be arranging an OB from the Pearly Gates, no doubt. 010
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Happy Wednesday morning from northern England today! #Hull 010
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 29/01/2025The morning light close to the Humber estuary, as new wind turbine towers wait for their journey out to the North Sea. #hull #siemensgamesa 140

Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 18/01/2025So long Facebook and thanks for all the fish. 010
Simon Pattern @simonpattern.bsky.social · 17/01/2025It's currently less than 50p a day, for everything the BBC produces on tv, radio and online - on as many devices as you want in your home or outside, everything from UHD tv to medium wave radio. How isn't that value for money? 000
