Well done Gerad. Love the photo of Williamson Square in b/w. No people was it first thing in the morning?:rolleyes:

[ChrisGeorge]

Well done Gerad. Love the photo of Williamson Square in b/w. No people was it first thing in the morning?:rolleyes:

Actually if you look carefully to the left of the fountain, you can see a bloke walking in the dark part. I don't know if the darker parts of the photo are a function of the light and the water, or if Gerard used a bit of photoey shoppy here. Eh, Gerard? :)

Chris

[Gerard]

Thanks chippie,Chris.
What bloke....Where !!

Picture taken chippie about 12 noon and the square was packed..
I just waited about an hour for me chance..
I liked the smokey/steamy effect coming from uderground level..I've never seen it like that before..
A little bit of Paint Shop doodling with lighting effects done the trick

Original piccie

[ChrisGeorge]

Aye, there's at least three people in the pic, the bloke I thought I saw at the left and someone else (a lady?) behind a stream of water just behind him and a boy in the middle looks like with a red bag, on their way to or from the Liverpool FC store perhaps. :)

Goodness me Chris, you,d need eyes like a s***house rat to see them peeps.
Well spotted. Still like it in best it,s original form though.:)

[ChrisGeorge]

A view of St. Nicholas's Church. The old gas lamp in the foreground gives the impression of a bygone Liverpool of a century or more ago. However, the glimpse of the white tower of the Thistle Hotel on Chapel Street beyond the church is symbolic of the new Liverpool that is rising amid the remnants of the old.

If you dont mind me asking Kev why was my picture removed.
It was the 1st on today after Chris's was removed
I know that I said above remove it but I thought all this Sub this and section that and rule this that and the other was only a Joke..

Theres about 24 rules quoted here including pictures of people not being allowed..
You'd better take your June 1st POD off Kev if thats the case.
Whats going on if you dont mind me asking Kev.

Hi Gerard

To clarify, I removed your pic of Philip after you said to remove it. I very much like the photo you took of Phil but it had been posted before in another thread and so I think Philip's St. George's Hall photo should be the legitimate Pic of the Day posting for today. Okay?

Chris

[Gerard]

I thought Chris all this rule quoting was a Joke and thats why I said remove it..
Rules about people not being allowed on POD...Kevs June 1st Piccie has people in so thats why I thought it was all a wind up.
If the rule says though that It cant be posted elsewhere and on POD then thats fine..
I was not aware of this Rule Chris..No probs Lad.

[ChrisGeorge]

Hi Gerard

I refer you to the wording at the top of this page: "The aim is to capture and post 365 pictures of Liverpool and Merseyside throughout 2007." Thus the pic should be of a Liverpool or Merseyside location. It can have people in it but not be a photograph of a person or group of people as such. Okay, lad?

No problem Chris. :PDT11

[PhilipG]

I was convinced Gerard posted the photo of me as a joke, which is why my subsequent posts were jokes (except for the pic of St George's Hall).
Frankly, I'd rather there weren't any pictures of me on any thread, because I'm no longer young and handsome like Gerard. :)

Phil,Im not gonna fall out with yer mate over a photograph.
I did ask you at Moorfields if I could put your picture on and you said yes...didn't yer !!.
No problem Lad...Ive looked for the other ones I put on of you to delete them but I cant find them..Tell me where they are and I'll take them off..No big deal mate..G'night..

I said yes, and you posted it.

Then you posted it again on POTD, which is where people put their best photos.

Why aren't we having this conversation through pm's, Gerard?

[snappel]

I'm amazed at how seriously this thread is taken. There's another day tomorrow, and another opportunity for someone to post a photo. And again the day after that, and the day after that...

Gerard, I don't think Phil was getting at you or anything, he was just saying...

[Ged]

Quite frankly Frank, I can't be bothered sitting at my computer at 11.59.59 then pressing go and besides and more seriously, I haven't any good photos like you lot bum bum.

And I was just saying snappel I was given permission..
Me take this serious..yer avin a laugh aren't yer Lad.

By the way snappel..I dont go advising you about the dangers of nearly killing yourself and putting the lives of the emergency services at risk who would have to rescue you if you fell down a hole..or fell of a roof that you were dangling your legs over..
Or getting a Security guard the sack who has propably done his job all night and turned his back for 10 seconds and you then sneak up all these cranes or whatever..
Do I geg in and get my little digs in about that...No I dont.

So if you dont mind snappel..keep your opinions about me to yourself and stop trying to stir this up..Its not the 1st time you have had little sly digs at me..and I have not fell for it..And Kev is aware of this as well.
If I want your opinion..I'll ask for it...OK..

[Gerard]

Quite frankly Frank, I can't be bothered sitting at my computer at 11.59.59 then pressing go and besides and more seriously, I haven't any good photos like you lot bum bum.

Neither could I Ged..I put the picture in question on at about 3 in the afternoon mate.

You're so unstable it's not even funny!

I was simply remarking that Phil was calmly making a point, in an effort to try and end the argument. You were misunderstanding what he was saying. And why didn't you PM all this to me? Why clog the thread up with this?

As far as advising me - at any time you're welcome to do it. However, the emergency services know the risks of the job, and if security guards did their jobs properly then perhaps things would be harder for me. As it happens, my brother runs a security company, and agrees it is impossible to secure a site completely. They will keep out 99.9% of people - all but the most determined and resourceful.

Any digs you have received you've earnt yourself. Kev is aware of everything that goes on on this forum, and when he's felt the need to he's contacted me. If he ever decides I'm not welcome here, I'm sure he'll ban me, in which case I'll take it like a man and not bother him/his forum further.

Until then, why don't we keep this thread to photographs? I'll be happy to discuss this further by PM if you wish.

What argument snappel..copy and paste it and show me where I have said anything argumentive..please..

[snappel]

There was no need to quote everything I wrote in the post above. Now it's up there, twice in a row. Do we need to see it twice?

Regarding you being argumentative, if you want proof of this you'll have to read through the thread and find it for yourself I'm afraid.

I was being polite..worm your way out of that mate.

[Gerard]

Eh up..........snappel..come back..must have wormed himself about 10 foot under..Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa HAAAA....oH MY ACHING SIDES.....

[snappel]

Sorry, I had work to attend to.

Ten feet? I've been deeper than that old man, far deeper. In this case though, I don't feel the need to worm my way out of anything. I'm not arguing with you. And if you say I am, then you're arguing with me! Worm your way out of that one!!

[Ged]

All this worming.

I mean, how low can you get?

[snappel]

Well, I wasn't going to, but since you've pushed me Ged, here's a portrait of myself. I was holding the camera and operating it using my tail. Pretty good I thought. It was taken on the day of my graduation...

Is that a touch of noise I detect as well..Tut Tut.

[Ged]

There..........that's better :hug:

[snappel]

You're right, bad use of flash too, but last time somebody commented on somebody else's photos, somebody couldn't take it and started to cry.

As always, comments on my photos are appreciated, including on my picture for POTD today further up the thread.

[Ged]

I've just notice something there upon closer inspection. It looks a lot like a sleeve, a grey one, up near the elbow location. I think that photo is a fake, phtoshop malarky or not.

[snappel]

No, I just had my special green jacket on that day. I keep it for best. I'm bog standard 'worm grey' the rest of the time.

[snappel]

Well, if nothing else, today we've established that it is acceptible to post constructive criticism on each other's 'Pictures of the Day'. That's a good thing for sure.

Hi Max

Nice photograph. I might advise though that you might want to mute the floor so it doesn't take attention away from the graffiti! Just a thought since as you say most people have apparently commented on the floor!!!

[chippie]

Hey Taffy, I,m surprised that you called it a shop. lol:)

[taffy]

Hey Taffy, I,m surprised that you called it a shop. lol:)

Yes perhaps "shop" was a bit of hyperbole !! It was so funny I couldn't resist posting the photo. Of course the sign belonged to the Asian clothes shop next door who were taking advantage of the free advertising space. Smithdown Rd is rapidly becoming Liverpool's equivalent to Manchester's "curry mile", AKA Wilmslow Rd, Rusholme.

[lindylou]

Has anyone been to the 'curry Mile ?' .. we would drive up there sometimes.
I used to like looking in the shop windows of the ladies Sari shops .. oohh the gorgeous beautiful Indian clothes - fab colours and embroidered with beads.
Lovely clothes and so comfortable to wear. I had a shalwa kameez hand made for me once by an Indian friend - lovely fabric to wear and hides all your lumps and bumps too :D

An interesting observation, Taffy. That would mean that Smithdown Road is becoming also equivalent to "Banglatown" a term given to the Brick Lane area of London's East End. :)

Yes I know it well. Have had a few curries there too. You should be able to get Asian clothing on Smithdown Rd these days, so less distance to travel.

It's getting there as is in the St Michael's part of Aigburth Rd. Smithdown Rd already benefits from a mosque just off either end and a Sikh temple just off the middle.

You should have gone on Sunday, Max.
I went because I assumed that you couldn't usually get round the back of the old building.

I managed to get up there on an invite ? from Colin the Jetstream photographer.
I had been up halfway though but thought it best not to push my luck.

PhilipG :-
You can get round the back anytime but park out the front and walk . Never had a problem yet and I go at least once a week.

I think Crowne Plaza as a company are a USofA company.
If this is true can you please inform them that the 'Union Flag' should be flown on the Middle of the three flag poles.
Unless common curtsy and diplomacy have gone out the window, where three flag poles are used the 'Host Country Flag' always flies in the middle.
The house/company flag should fly to the right of the Union Flag looking at the building.

Unless common curtsy and diplomacy have gone out the window, where three flag poles are used the 'Host Country Flag' always flies in the middle.
The house/company flag should fly to the right of the Union Flag looking at the building.

Hi Phredd

I don't know if the Crowne Plaza is run by a US company or not. We found it a well run hotel and enjoyed our stay there. The only thing that I was unhappy with was the "scouse" I had in the bar and which I found to be tough and no advert for the legendary Liverpudlian dish -- I complained and got a credit on the bill for that. I assume you are correct in what you say about how the flags should be flown and since Americans are punctilious about flag etiquette in terms of how "Old Glory" the Star-Spangled Banner is flown, if the outfit who own Crowne Plaza is American-owned, they ought to know about it and get it rectified. . . and even if they are not an American concern, they should do it right. I'll let 'em know. Thanks, Phredd. You may now come out from hiding. :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
