So what you lot done today?

[theninesisters]

Well it's been a cracking saturday afternoon, road is quiet as everyone is crammed around their TV's watching 22 men chase a bag of wind :PDT10
so I thought I'd be nice to ma and detail her car for her seeing as I'm always washing me own and spending too much time on it.

Max - you don't need a gym, you just need to give a 13 year old Corsa 3 layers of wax and it'll do you the power of good!!

My pic...I'm very happy with the finish. It's a 1993 L Reg so the paint work you're seeing there is 14 years old :PDT11

What else have you all been up to?

Gym Tots with the kids, went to look at the Cressington Heath housing development off Garston By-Pass. Then Warrington Toys-R-Us, Hobby Craft, Mothercare World, my sisters, then home.

Fed up at the moment, may go the gym later. :disgust:

Didn't take any snaps.

Hehe, how long did he wait before someone told him?

I wasted an afternoon trying to adjust my bike's gears, to go out for a ride tomorrow for the first time since before Christmas when I was knocked off. Only minor injuries and damage, but you know how insurers drag their feet... :Smiliz_Kingz_PDT_13

Anyway - got my bike back last week, tried to get it in full working order for a long ride tomorrow but it's not to be :disgust: . Back to the bike shop again for more fixing.

[billo]

I got a Savaway for the train (the other half has a bus pass with her being a semi invalid) and went to Southport.It was nice and warm on Lord Street but then we went on the pier and that wind was brisk to say the least!. I could just make out the Big One and the Tower at Blackpool with my binoculars.A quick cuppa at the end of the pier and then back to Lord Street to buy a metric ton of Jelly Babies and choc.coated Raisins but I did resist the offer of a man bag from the Rohan Shop for my camera, binoculars, PDA and other essentials that I carry around.

[Max]

I just went to gym and night pics.(didn't feel at my best though as my lungs were sore due to having a sore throat and cold:PDT_Xtremez_42: )

Today, I will be going to Tasker Sports In Anfield since I need longer hand wraps for boxing since the other ones are too short. Need longer hand wraps because theres too much space Inside my gloves despite hand size and they don't keep still when hitting bags.

Plus my left wrist Is still sore and was hard to throw a left hook.:sad:

Might take pics too.

[kelly_j]

Im just having a really lazy day today as was out at friends wedding last nite and seemed to have drunk a little too much. But had real gód nite so just recovering today

Kev, should we really let these people on our forum? The people that can't handle their ale on a night out :PDT_Aliboronz_24: :)

[Shapers]

Just recovered from a hangover today as i worked untill 11 last night and got the bus to a mates house after i finished, were we had a few cans, a good chinwag about the latest happening in our and our other friends lives and watched Anchorman on dvd.

But tonight, i may go out and have a few pints of the ole amber nectar :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Pah, in my youth, we used to get a good meal at about 6pm, nip down to Cream, spend ALL night dancing away (with the only substance being Lucozade and ale - not mixed LOL) and still made it in time to a cafe off Dale Street for morning brekkie :PDT_Aliboronz_24: :)

What have you lot done today ? as the title of this thread says.


We went on a nostalgia trip today around Garston - my husband's childhood haunt. he showed me where he'd lived and all the places he remembered so well.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/rubinda/garston.jpg

:)

[Kev]

Sound!!!!! Love it down there (http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/showthread.php?t=546) :PDT11

[lindylou]

Kev, what is the huge grey building just over from where I was standing ? It's a large modern place - looks like a nuclear plant or something ! ha,ha!
Is it some sort of factory ?

[Kev]

They are the new units on the old airport site, Liverpool International Business Park its called. I was there in a few days ago and posted some pics in the thread I linked above. Its my fave place at the mo :)

[lindylou]

We had a good nose around :)

My husband showed me where he'd lived, the church where he was christened (St Michaels). We saw the remains of where Atlas express used to be (where his dad worked).
Saw where the Bobbins used to be. Also he pointed out the newsagents where he used to have a paper round ! :)
We drove around all of it : Window lane, Banks rd, St Marys rd, then up and around some of the side streets and came out by the hospital.
I've certainly had a good look at Garston today.
My husband was telling me what a great community it was and thriving in those days. You can still see in those streets what a nice community it must have been and of course still must be.
I can see why Garstonians love their area. :PDT11

[theninesisters]

Well I'm still producing snot but I've been in the garden, taken shots of anything that moves on the ground and in the sky, watered the garden, tidied up, fitted two new tyres to the bike and ridden 10 miles :PDT11

[lindylou]

Thanks kev - I just looked at the link.

Yes, that's the place.
Will show my other half the pics later. :PDT11

Last time I went to the zoo we bought a family ticket from Aigburth station which included train, bus fare and entrance to the zoo.It was quite a saving as the people in front of us paid more just to get in

Today I had half an hour in the green gym (our garden) where I turned over the compost heap and transferred the finished compost into our old black dust bin which is now full. I aggravated my frozen shoulder so had to have a lie down( :) ) I think it is recovered enough to be able to lift a beer soon.

[Cloggie]

OMG Billo!!!...Good luck lifting ur beer!!!!:022:

[Steven]

I was told in Cains/Higgsons last week that they used to make a line on the wall and sell 'small beer' to any body who came up to that line.

= Up to Scratch

Liverpool water was unfit to drink then as it came from underground wells.

Jeeze! how did we survive until we got our water from Wales (the Dee)

Did we get washed in small beer ?

[billo]

OMG Billo!!!...Good luck lifting ur beer!!!!:022:

Good news everybody, I have manfully struggled through the pain barrier and had a couple of beers.

I have a good excuse. I work very much in the previous days, to have this holiday " Holy Week ". A few friends mios of Galicia and Extremadura, came a few days to my house, in these holidays. When I you have all the photos, I promise to put some.

[Max]

That often Max !!!

My family give me too many things to think about I forget some things.:PDT10

I have evil siblings too who think the rest of the other chores are up to me just because they only do the dishes or the odd hoovering In the living room.

A couple years ago when I past Sefton Park and they had the Russian Circus on, some young lads were being chased by the Russians and they couldn't catch the lads so they jumped In their bus riding after them!

It was some night time a couple of years back, I think I was walking home from my dads or something and saw them being chased.

[marie]

I am working and I am preparing the visit of my sister and her daughters to my city. They only are going to be 5 days. I am a bit classic and a girl, so I have prepared an a bit strange visit for them.

My idea is to visit a few villages and a museum of the railroad in a former train of steam. My grandfather and his brothers were railway, and I like the ancient trains: Link (http://www.euskotren.es/castellano/transporte/15.html)
http://www.diariodelviajero.com/images/transcantabrico.jpg
To visit San Sebastian's aquarium. Alone I know that of Barcelona and that of Tregastel, in France. And sincerely, I am afraid to have the sharks so nearby!! Link (http://www.aquariumss.com/en/index.htm)
http://www.amyruppel.com/Spain/images/ss_AQJacobotunnel.jpg
To visit the Museum Guggenheim, the special visit for families with children, this way I will learn on it, for which I do not know the modern art. Until a few days did not happen looking at the Museum, I did not verify that it was imitating to a ship stopped close to the Nervión:Link (http://www.guggenheim-bilbao.es/ingles/home.htm)
http://dogfightatbankstown.typepad.com/blog/guggenheim_bilbao-thumb.jpg
Together with it laugh, there is also a very important Maritime Museum. The better thing of this one, it is to cross in a old ship, feeling a real pirate. Not included rum!! Link (http://www.museomaritimobilbao.org/#)
http://imagenvasca.info/0306/facetas0306-1.jpg
Another moment, iremos to Cabarceno's Park, a park with wild animals. It is in Santander, not in Basque Country, but you are late 20 minutes in coming: Link (http://www.parquedecabarceno.com/)
http://usuarios3.arsystel.com/cantabria-9/viviendas_en_cantabria/santillanadelmar/viviendas_lalastra/lalastra-cabarceno.jpg

Just lovely looking ... where exactly is Crosby Beach?

[Paul D]

North Liverpool.

[Kev]

I've trying to locate the source of a leak which has left two large stains on the ceiling and getting larger :PDT_Xtremez_42:.

The connecting pipe to the toilet (the one that supplies the clean water to fill the cistern) seems to have the leak, no matter how I tighten it it seems to get worse. I presume its a washer or something.

Anyways, the floor is now soaked through so that'll have to come up on the morrow :disgust:

[theninesisters]

I've spent 3 hours today detailing my ex police Volvo T5.

2 coats of polish and a full clay application and for a 13 year old car with 200,000 on the clock, it's come up like a new pin!

And still no one troubles me at the lights, not because they know I've got 225bhp, they still think it's plod waiting for em :ninja: :)

Went to New Brighton this afternoon.
Fab weather - lovely and warm - 70.

Everyone walking in sleeveless tops and kids paddling in their shorts ...

.... and then .. something strange happened .... a cold fog suddenly descended - and I mean suddenly ! this cold swirling fog came rolling over the Mersey. it was blowing around the prom and road like thick smoke. it was weird. I could understand if it was a damp day or a wintery day - but it had been so hot.
You can see on these photos people scurrying in the sudden drop in temperature. A lot of people were hurrying back to their cars as the fog was so chilly.

You couldn't see perch Rock at all, it was obliterated. Harrison drive was also like a pea souper.

I've never come across this before. :shock: Not hot one minute and freezing literally in a second !! We didn't even see it coming.
We were in a queue at the ice cream van looking over at Perch Rock, we did notice a bit of a misty haze over by Crosby & Seaforth, then by the time we were walking away from the van the fog had obliterated everything !

[Kev]

Well I found the leak, took the toilet apart, been backwards and forwards to B and Q several times, ripped the floor up, dried the underlay out in the sun, gut the grass back and front, washed the mini and spotted more corrosion :rolleyes:. Put the toilet back together, no leak fingers crossed.

[chippie]

Came up to Liverpool today and went for a ride to Hale village, in particular visit the Ogle light house. Saw a cockateil flighing out on a field of corn near the beach. On the way home I saw a swan sitting on a nest in the Speke Estuary road.

[wallasey]

Well, I had a go at some Business Studies coursework for 45mins but i got bored with that so I went off down to Seacombe and got a few images. Then went to Moreton before somehow ending up on Derby Road in Tranmere. I seem to have a fatal attraction with this road for some reason. so i walked around Tranmere before ending up in Rock Ferry.

I then spent the rest of the evening on Myspace and MSN Msgr!. Also been on the forumn today too! :)

[Max]

I went the gym.

[PhilipG]

I went to Woolton to see how the restoration of the Picture House is coming on.
Wondering if the brickwork is going to be cleaned, but everything has just been painted matt black.

There's a new head on the former Elephant pub, but it's not an Elephant's head.

Then to Prescot to snap the 2 old cinema buildings there.
Saturday afternoon and Prescot was dead.
Some very pretty flower displays on the main road (Loads of different coloured tulips).

Teeing off in about 45 minutes then going on a moonlight dinner cruise on the Gulf of Mexico. This is our last weekend here before we drive north for the summer, we leave next Saturday morning the 28, April.

Banging headache for me as well. I did something ridiculous today and went to watch Liverpool FC Ladies play at Prescot. It was a good opportunity to see how my four year old would behave at a match, and the answer is if its a non league ground where you can walk round and buy food at non extortionate prices it's ok, but he'd be a nightmare at a big game in an all seated ground..

It looks like the story of it getting thrown away was true, and they've got away with doing it to a Listed Building.
Why would they want an elephant's head on a pub that is no longer called the Elephant?

Hi Philip

I enjoyed your flower pics. Thanks. So what head do they have on the former Elephant pub if it's not an elephant's head? I agree that they've pulled a fast one if they just got rid of the elephant's head and did not intend to put it back like they said they would.

Yesterday I went out taking pics of Macca's house on Forthlin Road, some Pub called Greenhills, then to Allerton Towers and Lennon's house too.

I don't know that they ever said they were going to put it back.
That was just wishful thinking on our part.
They've painted the Masonic in Lark Lane black, and obviously aren't interested in the history of the pubs they take over.

I'll take a snap of the head on the former Elephant.
I didn't study it closely - it's modern and not very big and probably of a crocodile as that's what the new name means.

I'm very depressed today about English Heritage and Liverpool City Council, after hearing the news that the Bedford Cinema isn't going to get Listed.

I don't know that they ever said they were going to put it back.
That was just wishful thinking on our part.
They've painted the Masonic in Lark Lane black, and obviously aren't interested in the history of the pubs they take over.

I'll take a snap of the head on the former Elephant.
I didn't study it closely - it's modern and not very big and probably of a crocodile as that's what the new name means.

I'm very depressed today about English Heritage and Liverpool City Council, after hearing the news that the Bedford Cinema isn't going to get Listed.

City of Culture.
My a*se.

Ahh so It was them who also took over that Masonic pub. :mad:

A pure evil review for the Elephant place too.

Today after a 4-month lay-off I've been out on my bike again! I was all set to carry on going for rides through the winter but 2 weeks before Christmas some pillock taxi driver knocked me off on my way home from work. No major injuries or damage to my bike but it's taken his insurers a helluva long time to get themselves into action and pay for the repairs (I couldn't afford them straight off). Finally got my bike back on Thursday so went for a ride to Llangollen and back today. What a great day to be out. Could do with an ice cold lager now though :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Take her in at break and be lorded as a mother desperate in making sure that her daughter gets the best possible education, does not miss out and goes to all lengths to make sure she meets the legal obligations of attendance.

There some of the most run down houses In Liverpool down those roads.

Polished my car up for it's MOT and Service tomorrow. So a, no grease monkey takes a rag to it and tries to clean it, and b, they know it's been looked after so they don't skimp on owt.

I sent some e-mails and replied to some texts an' then I took a long walk to the butchers. Oh! what an exciting life I lead. I was gonna get a taxi back home but I forced meself to walk up Park Road to Sayers, then down to the fruit shop (for me taities an' sprouts). Last port of call was Sommerfields and then home.

[Kev]

Just got back from the railways exhibition and went down to what I reckon is the best park anywhere! Otterspool playground, newly opened and fantastic location.

I went for another day out on my bike yesterday. Jumped on the train to Ruabon, rode up the Ceiriog Valley, over a huge hill, lunch in Llanrhaeadr, over another huge hill, down to Bala and up to Carrog to sit in the sunshine by the river for half an hour, through the Vale of Llangollen and back to the station in Ruabon. In 4 years of cycling it's by far the best day out I've had.

Needless to say I won't be doing much today :unibrow:

I stopped going to that old one years ago because the quality was awful.
Don't know if they've improved.
I like Netto for fruit & veg.

Liddls isn't too bad and the fruit and veg man opposite TJ's usually has good stuff. Mainly, the one I go to is near Ethel Austin's in Park Road. It's handy for carrying the bags home.

Thanks Maria - it's a while since I've been over the Rainbow (so to speak!) but it's always fun to be bombing it down to Mold at 40mph, cars come up to overtake then realise they can't cos the speed limit's 40 anyway :unibrow:

[theninesisters]

Cleaned and polished me ma's car inside and out till it shone like a new pin, then my neighbour asked me to do the same to his 'never washed' car and would pay me well - so I got as far as the interior being done and leather had been cleaned and polished and as soon as I tried to show a spone to the sky, it lashed it down!

Wedding at Childwall this afternoon in the church and two of the ropes attached to the bells were in need of some repair so I was pushed out of bed at 10am to go and have a nose. Eager to get some shots from the top of the tower while the rain kept off :PDT11

We start with the Abbey:

Then a general view of the churchyard:

Noticed something moving in the Bloody Acre - had to be a fox!

Always always wanted to get a picture of St Mary's Prescot and St Michael's Huyton - there is a saying in the church:

We have been fretting all day about our new family. The semi wild cat, we thought she belonged to the people behind us, had kittens ten days ago. We have been feeding her every morning for the last 6 months. Yesterday she brought them around for us to see.
They are in an insulated kennel that we fitted out for our cats originally but they ignored it.

[lindylou]

aahh, I'm glad you are looking after them :)

Unfortunately, there are so many stray cats in Liverpool now - more than ever. I don't know how the problem got so out of hand. There are ferals all over the city and of course they are breeding.
So many stray domestic cats too. It's a shame. I think that often, cats get a raw deal in life.

There are too few people who will put themselves out to look after strays.

Hope the kittens do well Billo. :)

[iain]

I had a lie-in, had a quick look on here, cooked myself a full English (on the grill - eating healthy these days :unibrow: ), sat down and ate it, washed down with a mug of coffee, then looked at my watch and realised I had an appointment at the bank five minutes ago :unibrow: . It was only going to be a sales pitch anyway.

[marie]

On the morning I went to Edge Lane, to Tesco. I was walking Mill Lane. A beauty area, but there are somes dirty houses and with broken windows near the croix.

On the evening I went to PC World in Speke and to the city center to walk, Albert Dock, St. Johns Shopping Centre, ...

The rest of the time, I am at home, to clean, to study English, to looking for jobs in internet and in yoliverpool, of course.

[iain]

I went out walking for the day above the Mawddach Estuary in Wales and by god it rained. But the money I've spent on waterproofs paid off and I had a cracking day out. I'll see what my photos are like when my camera dries out :PDT_Xtremez_42: and maybe post a few pics.

Kev I feel I have to put in a complaint! The PC World is in Garston, a blessed area, not Speke, a less blessed area!

:)

[Max]

The best part of Garston Is by the Library and Park area where they have that outdoor gym equipment.:PDT10

Today I have taken pics In Dingle, Toxteth, Canning area with all the Georgian Houses and City Centre.

Abercromby Sqaure had evil hippy drum circles In the gardens, I heard drums!:eek: :eek:

[theninesisters]

Went for a nose around Wavertree today. Funny when you go through a place like I have for 13 years on the way to work and never really stopped and walked around the place:

So I'll start the mini tour:

The windows on Waterloo Street:

2945

2946

2947

Then along to Somerfield - that lamppost needs to go!

2948

Along to the Clock Tower:

2949
2950
2951
2952
2953
2954
2955

Then up to the stone in the playground that used to be Wavertree Lake.

2956
2957

Up to the Monk's Well next:

2958
2959

Back towards the lock up:

2960
2961

Then along to see the two sets of horse shoe's in the wall on Childwall Road - sLemon once said that if you see a face when you look at them, you die!

2962
2963

And all this without bumping in to Max, Marie OR stopping off for a quick snifter in one of the ale houses :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

[Max]

You'd more likely to spot me by Lawerence Road or off Garmoyle.:unibrow:

Where are those Horse shoes?

Wavertree Road Is in Edge Hill.

[theninesisters]

Aye, I got me roads mixed up :PDT10 Childwall Road. Head from the clock tower and follow the wall on the left hand and before you get to Thingwall Road, keep your eyes peeled on the wall...you'll find em.

[Max]

No face on the wall will kill me though.

[iain]

Excellent Iain - Its better when it rains when walking like that.

Thanks Kev, I'd rather have sunshine all the same :unibrow: but a trudge in the wet is a good laugh every now and then

Today I worked one day of my three-day week leading up to a 4-day weekend in London :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Likewise - most of that's new to me and I've lived ten minutes' walk from there for nearly 4 years :shock:

[marie]

Jona, maybe u saw this morning it... when i went to Tesco, i was walking since my house in Olive Mount to Edge Lane. In Mill Lane St., in front the croix, are a dirty building with broken glasses and strange people. Do u know it? Today, somes English boys from this house, were are give stone to one of my house mates, and then, he has to go to the hospital... :disgust:

[marie]

Had a very tiring day travelling back from Moscow, left 6am UK time for 90 min journey to airport - a nightmare in the rush hour with a rucksack. Then had 5 hours to spend between flights in Cologne so took the opportunity to see the Dom, Altmarkt and have a few beers. Finally arrived at home 930pm.

I was visiting a friend for a week, went to St Petersburg as well. The decoration in the underground stations are amazing, a Communist show of strength I expect. The weather was very similar to here. I'll put some photos on as soon as they are sorted, the trip included 3 footy matches involving Spartak Moscow, CSKA Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow. The ticket prices ranged from £3-£6!

Sound good!! Class!! One friend of mine, Alfonso, bought a Russian Bar in Bilbao, and the decoration are very spectacular. Its name´s Tobarisch Bar. I heard good word about Russian architecture. If u like, its a pleasure to know about it, about the people, the areas, ur impressions,...

[iain]

Iain, brilliant photos. I see, u are too from Wavertree.

I am indeed, right by the Mystery. Just arrived home from work after taking a detour across the park. More and more joggers and dog-walkers to dodge these last few weeks though :cha (5):

Today, same story as yesterday. My weekend begins in less than 24 hours :unibrow:

I toke a book of the Public Library, its name is DISCOVER EVENTS IN PARKS AND GREEN SPACES. I do not see anything in The Mistery soon...

Only the next Saturday, near here, in Calderstone Park a event called Behind the Scenes in it.

I'll tell you about Calderstones Park - I once kipped under the bridge in the small pond when it was summer and there was no water. I had quite a bit to drink that night and needed to crash out :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Is that off Mill Lane? I went past there on Sunday evening.

I used to live on Grant Ave, looking out across the park, lovely except the fact the landlord has let the house rot for years :Smiliz_Kingz_PDT_13 . Stayed there for 6 months and moved into one of the side streets where I am now.

You should explain to Marie what 'kipping' is. :)
She might think it's somehing to do with fish! :eek:

[chippie]

Talking about kipping, I,ve slepy on the top of the stairs in St Georges Heights when my dad locked me out one night. Another time I had to go back to work in the bingo club in Stanley Road, The Grosvenor, and kip at my desk:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

[Steven]

It has been a wet miserable sort of day but was really brightened up by meeting four of our members.
This morning, I walked down to MariaC's house and she made me a lovely breakfast. The full Monty. XXX
Then at 1 p.m. I met up with Marie, Jona and Max in the 5-ways pub. I spent two hours in the most excellent company you could hope for. I have already met Marie before and she is an absolute delight to have a natter with.
What a great friend with a marvellous sense of humour.
As a bonus, I made two new mates, Max and Jona. I have chatted with them before but it's great to put faces to names. There was no lull in the conversation and we had a really good laugh.

They are real assets to Yo Liverpool and it was my priviledge and pleasure to spend some time with them.

Thanks

I'll second that Squire! Steven was boozing himself silly in the pub while I was waiting outside for Marie. A lovely and polite young lady turned up and said hello so I knew it had to be her!
Went in and met Steven - what a gent! Full of life and had many stories to tell!
Then in strolls max - he's a tall chap I tell you! A very decent chap is Max, quiet and very friendly!

We had good banter this afternoon and hope to all meet up again soon! Marie's english is good and we have given her lots to confuse her with in our sayings! A pleasant afternoon in great company :PDT11:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

It was a good afternoon Ged with a lot of laughs. Especially when Marie was explaining to some Elderley Scouser, how to take a picture of us. Results will follow later. Let's hope that you will be able to join us and have a big meet up.
I am telling you that the 'tears of happiness will trickle down yer leg' when you listen to Jona. He is so funny and knowledgeable.

Hehe I surprised myself with knowing too many names for too many pubs in Wavertree...I don't even drink either :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Steven, you have a cracking story for every part of the world! You could sell tickets and talk for hours, I'd buy one!!
