anyone planning a visit to Liverpool this year?

 

 

 

[Guest]

Nope, stayed just outside once and that was the closest I've ever been.

 

Not on my list of places to visit this year but I'm sure I will one day!

 

Have a good year of culture.

[Guest]

Congratulations Liverpool

 

Would love to visit again. We came a couple of years ago and had a fantastic day

 

There was so much to do and see

[emu]

Hurrah for Liverpool.

 

Spent the best of 5 years at University there and plan to revisit and have a mini reunion there with a few chums.

Confess also to being a Liverpool supporter.

[Jules.]

I'm sure we will- hubby has got a Liverpool 08 card.

He supports Everton......

& was born in Wavertree.

Sorry to have to admit I've never been to Liverpool . It sounds like a great place to visit though - so maybe one day ....

it is and this year especially so!

 

I've been to Edinburgh twice so you have to repay the compliment

 

p.s. did you ever see the red sheep on the M8 pyramids?

we saw the sheep but they weren't red at the time we saw them

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Cool . We don't often go that way - wish I'd seen them .

[Guest]

you could come to Liverpool and see a hundred naked men instead

Oh, you spoil sport Poet, i got all excited then. Thought I might have to moderate you, but alas no!

How could I forget one of your infamous Rail Tours

 

Hoorah back to Liverpool

[Chicken Licken]

If you visit Liverpool you can see Superlambanana (not sure of its current colour) http://www.liv.ac.uk/study/city/culture.htm it was green when I saw it last (I think). There is also a jaffa orange bull sculpture along from the docks.

[Guest]

I do a series of Liverpool Poetry greetings cards and one of them features Super lamb banana

 

Liverpool is choc full of street art and sculptures. Apart from the Gormley ones on Crosby beach and SLB of course, my favourite would have to be 'Liverpool Resurgent' - "meet under a statue exceedingly bare".

 

If anyone wants any tourist advice, just ask

 

p.s. it's yellow at the moment

We are visiting Liverpool in the summer...at the end of a trip to Wales. We are going to travel over for the day to see the family in Kirkby.

ah, the notorious scouse wit

[Martin B]

I'm a bit stuck about this one.

 

Bought tickets for Liverpool vs Villa on 19th January (Saturday) and they have moved it to Monday 21st. How I meant to get to Liverpool on a school night. These tickets have cost me almost £50 and they are non-refundable. What would you do? I'm going to miss the last lesson of school to go but what would you say to the school? Dentist?

[Charlottechicken]

Tell them you are going on a trip to Liverpool, European capital of culture 2008, and it's educational, Martin

 

Well, you are bound to learn some new words anyway

[Martin B]

Ey!

 

A la Jamie Carragher!

[Egluntyne]

Super lamb banana. Sounds like one of my brothers infamous curries.

[missuscluck]

It does sound like a curry

Poet. I spent many a happy day in Liverpool. We used to go on the train 50p return trip to Lime st. most saturdays. Lots of good shopping when you are a teenager. St Johns market used to sell all the trendy clothes and shoes.

I still love it but its lost on hubby. He really dosent like it at all and prefers Manchester.

[Guest]

oooooooooo, I don't really like Manchester as far as shopping goes, far too spread out and most of the road system is one way and other drivers won't give you a second to think and get your bearings. Give me Liverpool every time!

[Janty]

Doesn't that amount to grounds for divorce...prefering Manchester!!!
