Hi Gerard

Thanks, Gerard. The camera is a Samsung Digimax 240 that I recently acquired after years of using a 35 mm Pentax and Minolta! I am looking forward to taking a lot of photos of Liverpool while I am in your fair city, May 15 to May 21. :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

nice car jona76 the last place i worked as a mechanic we had one of those as our toeing car it's a nippy car.

Wish this was mine:- VW T25 with 5th wheel

nice car jona76 the last place i worked as a mechanic we had one of those as our toeing car it's a nippy car.

Its the one car I won't ever part with. Bought it for 800 quid and it was virtually black when I got it from the grime. Spent a bit of money and tons of elbow grease on the bodywork and interior and got it spot on now. I couldn't find anything better, it cruises (auto box) like you're driving around in a limo and when you feel the need to put some boyracer in his place, you just stick your foot down. It's no wonder plod said it was the best car they ever used.
Even though it's done 200,000 miles and it's cost me a bit o money today (understatement there...), I've got it spot on now. Where else could I find a herse that does 0-60 in 7.2 seconds for £800 :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Thanks for sharing Phredd. I am trying to picture that feller (forgot his name) Who used to be a Scarecrow, on TV. (he always called the phone a 'Telling Bone.') sitting there next to yer better half, in his all-together.

Sorry I missed posting up a picture of Plod.....wasn't allowed to drive and snap :PDT10

Glaring at PC Plod as he cruised his oversized plod car down our road, taking up most of the road including my side while on a bloody mobile phone.

Had I have been in my old scrapper XR2, I'd have kept to my line and told the Judge that my whiplash was caused by Plod driving without due care and attention. :rolleyes:

Great shots Gerrard, like the london road one shows just how much
around there has changed. In the 60,s I worked oposite were the photo
was taken, it was called Norman Street. The shops/pubs being pulled
down were Lees sweetshop, and there were 2 pubs, used to drink in them.
On the corner of London Rd, were them Roy Castle place is, used to be
a taxi office, and of course oposite the Majestic Cinema...
Sadly all gone now..

Much like the great shot that Kev took recently of bikes in the mud at Otterspool (http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=238261663&size=o), here is a pic of a bike mysteriously "parked" in Portsmouth harbour, near the Gosport-Portsmouth ferry terminal. I also saw nearby a second bike, two supermarket carts, and a luggage trolley.

The Kiepenkerl is a rural folk figure from Munster in Westphalia, an itinerant seller of eggs, rabbits, and fowl, rendered in this stainless steel modern sculpture by artist Jeff Koons -- there's another K for you!!! It can be seen opposite the Hirschhorn Museum on the Mall in Washington, D.C. (the red scaffolding-like structure behind is another sculpture and not part of Kiepenkerl).

I remember the Kiepenkerl figure from my visit to Germany some years ago and as I recall there is a restaurant of that name in Munster. From one of the plaques on the base of the sculpture, it would appear that Koons's version might be a copy of other Kiepenkerl statues by August Schmiemann done in 1896 and Albert Mazotti in 1953.

Wigan in the Premiership?

Nay, say it isn't so lad... th' Latics going up to top flight?
Yon Lancs place that George Orwell joked had no pier?
The Road to Wigan Pier? Will it be Wigan without peer?

What fans of top flight clubs will be crying in their beer?
Chelsea, the Gunners, or Red Devils to crash at the JJB?
From 1932 to 2005 never at the top, they wuz sad sacks

of th' old English Fourth Division; 27 years ago non-League,
now only seven games away from the top flight, bring on
West Ham's claret and blue, the black cats of Sunderland.

Have a drink at Ye Old Tree and Crown, take a jar, Orwell.

Hi Phredd

Judging by the Lewis Carroll signboard it must be Daresbury in Cheshire. Never been there but I know about it.

Phredd, I thought at first you were saying you were born there, but I see now you were quoting one of Lewis Carroll's lesser known works (http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:MNQIjcAu4CwJ:www.lookingforlewiscar roll.com/lovepoetry2.html+%22The+happy+spot+where+I+was+bor n.%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us). :)

Chris
The site now belongs to the National Trust and needs some tender care.
The Vicarage foundations are laid out on the ground but are now covered over in grass and weed.
It is quite a walk, two miles across fields, from the site to the Church in Daresbury. Industry has taken over the trodden path Lewis took to get to school and church.

Phredd

Hi Phredd

Thanks for that additional information about Daresbury. I will try to make it there on one of my next trips to England.

Chris

Nice pic's Phredd im always out and aboult in Daresbury along the canal on me bike and i didnt even know that was there i might take a ride out there tonight and try and find it cheers.

You should check out the website for Daresbury church, which I have only just discovered myself. They have some neat interactive pages on the stained glass Lewis Carroll windows in the church. Go to

Stockport is an interesting town on the River Mersey which forms the boundary through the town of the old counties of Lancashire and Cheshire. This interesting pub is in the old Stockport market area.

Thanks, Taffy. What's the story of the pub? Has it always had those bells and figures there or were they added later? Thanks in advance for clarifying.

Well I sold the farm to take my woman
Where she used to be
We left our kin and all our friends
Back there in Tennessee
And I bought those one way tickets
She had often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Well her heart was filled with gladness
When she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on earth was
Baltimore at night
Well a man feels proud to give his woman
What she's longing for
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

Then I got myself a factory job
I ran an old machine
And I bought a little cottage
In a neighborhood serene
And every night when I'd come home
With every muscle sore
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well I did my best to bring her back
To what she used to be
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights
More than she loved me
Now I'm a going back on that same train
That brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

Chris48, to post photos it helps to have a picture hosting service such as Flickr or Photobucket but you can also post photos as attachements from your hard drive. I do it the former way, so that the pic shows full size. Good luck, Chris48.

you're a case Ged :)

I don't like these huge ads at all. I think they are too crying. I small plate is okay, but these huge plates are ........ Especially because they don't fit to the architecture. If I were the mayor, I would inhibit that. I think that's as much environmental pollution as beer cans or paper waste on the ground.

Somehow, those plates are a symbol of our time: "Making money, whenever and wherever!"

Or look there, the Times Square. At first it looks quite interesting, because of the many lights. But if you look more precisely, the you're seeing, that all that stuff are only stupid ad-plates. Budweiser, Virgin group, Barcode and so on.
I mean, if somebody would put a lot of such plates on the walls of his living room, you would say he is really nuts, wouldn't you?
Sure, without that stuff the city would be quite dark. But isn't it possible to lighten a shop on a beautiful way? Something what really looks good? What's a pleasure to look at? Only to cry the name of the company in big letters is kinda stupid and not very inventive, isn't it?

Here is a listed building that my Great great Granfather occupied in Victorian times. It is called "The Ryfel" and is in Woolton Park, Woolton village backing onto Reynolds park where he was head gardener. His name was Thomas Clare.

Lovely old house. Woolton is so nice. :handclap:

My youngest who was 16 this week decided that as St. Johns precinct is crap in her opinion, we'd all go to Manchester - me driving of course. As the missus and other daughters came too, I thought it would be a good idea to have a stroll around and capture some of their architecture - I do like Manchester, and Leeds.

I met back up with them just in time to take out a re-mortgage for some tea, coffee and cakes in Starbucks.


We parked facing Strangeways, walked past what was once Boddingtons brewery, only the lone chimney left now. Behind the M.E.N. and up past Victoria Station to the Arndale.

Here is the printworks which has the hard rock cafe.

Thanks Ged. I've never ever been to Manchester - don't know if that's shameful or boastful :D

Boastful without a doubt. I only go when Liverpool play there, if sent to a conference with work, or to use the airport - and then only if the destination isnt on offer from Liverpool. I will never ever set foot in the Trafford centre.

I thought it was us that were called bitters, at least it doesn't extend to the general public or buildings :)

I much prefer our airport though, lots less hassle but no option to go to Manc this year.
