New bar in Moorfields

[Libertarian]

The old yatesies in Moorfields is being redeveloped into a trendy new bar. Already the new revolving frontage has been put in place.

Yes the whole front will revolve, it was in the Echo last year

[kenotoole123@msn.com]

It's nothing New!!....Everything revolved when I came out of there,after a 'Session'....and that was 'Forty' Years ago....:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

[chippie]

That,s nothing mate, it would have to revolve for me to go in there in the first place:PDT_Aliboronz_24::PDT_Aliboronz_24::PDT_Alib oronz_24:

[Paul D]

I've heard nothing about this being made into a trendy bar but I think it's a great idea if it is.I thought that revolving bit would've looked a bit daft on a derelict building,the last thing you want to do is draw attention to it.

[Ged]

Brings a whole new meaning to whose 'round' is it?

[scouserdave]

Remember when St John's Tower revolved? Nah! Didn't think so.

Jeezus! How I hate all you young Scouse whippersnappers and all that you have to look forward to in Liverpool! You don't deserve it.

I fought in the war in for you lot. Canny Farm v Kirkby:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

[chippie]

Hey Dave I remember when St John,s revolved. Went there twice for a quiet meal with a friend:Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:know what I mean like? Prices at the time were £14 for us both in the early seventies with the bottle of Blue Nun as well:rolleyes:

[Ged]

I went once when it revolved too, for the novelty then up to the observation deck.

I also remember the Canny mob's HQ too.

[billo]

I went there once as well, I think the prices had come down by the time I went. The one problem was that if you went to the toilet by the time you came back out your table had moved and you did not know wheather to chase it or wait for it to come around again! :)

[Max]

Where Is Canny Farm?

I hear people called It Cannibal Farm for a laugh.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Any Pics?

[julieoapw]

Catching the train at Moorfields yesterday, saw the revolving part of Yates and was quite impressed. Something different anyway. Bet it'll make a few people do a double take and check their glasses!

[PhilipG]

I read about this ages ago.
Isn't it just going to be an art piece on a derelict building before the building gets demolished?
I don't think I heard of any bar reopening.

[julieoapw]

There is no bar there - the building is very definitely derelict.

Errrrrrrraaaeee..make it Into an ordinary pub again..

Somewhere where the ordinary Man and Wife could go..and did go..and FILLED regularly on a Friday and Saturday night.

Sod the trendy Bars
Who go's in them anyway..And dont say trendy's folks..(Not directed at you Julie)

[chippie]

I say Gerard old bean, want another martini my old fruit? Or a pint o, bitter la.:PDT_Aliboronz_24::PDT_Aliboronz_24::PDT_Alibor onz_24:or two

[chippie]

Got no pictures of Cannibal Farm Max, but lots of memories mate. Ged, not the Barley Mow...it brings back me phantom eebie jeebies. arms and legs hanging up behind the bar waiting for their occupants to come and claim them.:shock:

I lived there when it was Stockbridge Village too, maybe still is. They put paths in for people to walk on instead of the road.

one of my fellow workmates from Mill Road Hospital was killed walking in the road there when there was no pathways.

No, you're too posh Chippie, living in Cheshire - here was your Canny Farm HQ. Quiet and genteel, and a point o' cider for yer.

Heres the latest story about it.

And here is a video of it in action.

[Ged]

Great link Rodders thanks, and nothing like I imagined it to be, thought it would be horizontal and revolving.

[Gerard]

Hows about horrible and revolting and a complete waste of money..

Another load of crap to go with the Banana rubbish..

[Ged]

I imagined it would be like the tower one, where you could stand with your pint ha ha and one minute you'd be in the pub and the next minute outside. I mean, you'd spill your pint in that thing wouldn't you :unibrow:

[chippie]

not if you,ve drunk it first Gedrick:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

I know what I'd like to do with it..How long do these people go to Art college or Lipa or whatever its called to produce this crap..

I PAY FOR THAT RUBBISH..
Jaeeeeeeessssssssusssss...There are people on hospital waiting Lists and wards closing and yet the plonker who made that crap gets funding..

SORT IT OUT.. NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..Lol..


At least my Lad came out of there with a Teaching degree..
He'd get the worst Neck Slap ever if he ever started coming out with all this kinda Arty Farty rubbish..

[Ged]

Gerard, ask him to design a revolving one at the pier head and put all these weirdos on it and when it turns to face the Mersey, the floor drops out. Rodders can be on standby to video it too :)

[chippie]

Thanks for that Rodders. I quite like it it,s so out of this world. I could see that type in Lime Street somewhere, maybe on the side of St Georges Hotel.

That,s what I call opening the window:p

[Ged]

Seriously though, I take it it's actually funded privately and isn't out of the local taxpayers pocket, if so they'll just persue whatever they'll get planning permission for, I suppose it's a talking point, whether it'll bring in sightseers I don't know, I don't see burger vans and ice cream vans raking it in on Moorfields.

And I'll gladly press the Button to drop the pillocks into the deep blue..
Splosh...Splish....Lol....Haaaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaa aa haaaaa..
Im in bulk here Ged...

Did you get my text message by the way Skids..:shock:

[Ged]

Yeah cheers mate, when I sent you the last PM you see, it said the recipients inbox was full. It's ok now, ta.

Everyone of them around Town does nothing.

[PhilipG]

I love it!
Think it's quite spectacular.

Nothing to do with liking art.
Just that it's so unusual.

I'll be round there with my camera.
I took a snap a few months ago before the building was altered.
Will post it when I find which disk it's on.

[Ged]

Gerard. That pic you posted up. It was chocker inside when I passed on Saturday though, check out the zany basement bar.

[Gerard]

Actually now having viewed it and seeing its not the usual rubbish excuse for Art but a useful functional structure I take back what I said..I Quite like it now...
And I owe the chap who designed/made it an apology..
Sorry mate and well done :handclap:

[PhilipG]

Thanks, folks.

Gerard says "Take a photo of me", so I did.
With his camera, though. :PDT10
(Clever, isn't he?).

Gerard, publish and be d*mned!

[PhilipG]

Unfortunately it wasn't working today.

Hello chippie,Thank you Sir...
Its not art Lad...its a revolving floor..And thats that :unibrow:

Arty farty Banana's and the likes of that rubbish have no function in life only for people who ponder over them to declare them masterpieces..

The same type of people who looked at a Monkeys work in a gallery and declared that a Masterpiece...All follow suit if you catch my drift thinking its the right thing to say to be in "The Know"...
Then they get informed it was the work of a Monkey..I would have loved to have been there chippie..I would have been rollin' everywhere laughin' me ead off..
Now I like lookin' at nice pictures as much as anyone but I dont mind admitting I have not got a clue what Im looking at..(A bit like the Experts praising the monkeys work eh ??)

This might all change though when me Beatles Dvd is a best seller and I'm minglin' with arty fartys in the Town hall sippin' El chatee Plonko chattin' a load of ..Well yer know what I mean...
Me ??..Change ??..not on your nelly matey :unibrow:

The artwork was rotating this morning...also someone was being interviewed in front of it. It's the first time I've seen it working.

Good ain't it ?. It will run until mid 2008, then the building will be demolished

It was on Breakfast tv this morning.

[Libertarian]

It is not gonna be a bar it is a temporary art exhibition. I stand corrected!

[PhilipG]

It had been working round about 2 o'clock today.

I'd missed it by about 5 minutes, and waited about half an hour to see if it would work again, but it didn't, so I went to Eastham, for a change.

[jon_hall]

Don't like it one bit. Good idea i suppose in a derelict building. Just hope they do something with the site pronto.

And if anyone wants a decent pub there, pop up the road to The Lion. Good beer, good pub and my local.

[Ged]

Inside out.

[Jericho]

I'm surprised that someone hasn't cashed in and reopened the old Yate's wine lodge for the period of exhibition. I guess it's too derelict inside and/or there are health and safety concerns about the exhibit coming off its track :shock:
