I got 'told off' for posting a non Merseyside photo in the Pic of the Day thread.

these might be better in the 'made me laugh' thread :)

[Kev]

Lottie, what have those pics got to do with POD?

[lottie]

Didn't know where to put them, and they are MY picture of the day, they cheered me up, You are welcome to move them.

[lindylou]

That is a beautiful picture you are very talented, do you have a website with your pictures on or is it your little hobby, well done either way.

[Mikeysart]

Hi Sweetcheeks,

It's just a hobby, really. Although I am toying with the idea of doing some postcards. . .

I have a website mikeys.org (http://mikeys.org) but it's just your general homepage thing. There are a couple of slideshows on my Photos page (http://mikeys.org.uk/Photo/index.html)

[ChrisGeorge]

Very nice, Mikey. :handclap:

You certainly should think about doing either postcards or a series of calendars maybe. Good luck to you.

Chris

[quincyg]

stunning :handclap:

Thankyou. . .:)

[Ged]

Mikey, I too worked at the MYA 86-88 Sheil Road in 1979 recording all the Liverpool's youth clubs scores for various activities. Is that where you were based?

[Mikeysart]

Mikey, I too worked at the MYA 86-88 Sheil Road in 1979 recording all the Liverpool's youth clubs scores for various activities. Is that where you were based?
Yep. I worked in the Reprographics department. In the attic. Miss Pridgeon was the big boss and Eddie Roos was her second in command. I loved working there.

I started on Nov 5th 1979 and finished a year later, when my YOP ended.

[Ged]

It is indeed a small world, I notice you also know Kev from your mini mad days. I remember those you mention, big old Miss Pridgeon but I was under Old Jim and Alan who had to organise events at the youth clubs and scorers for table tennis etc - I also had to attend footy matches at the Heron Eccles and King George V playing fields etc on cold weekend mornings when I wasn't playing myself Brrrr. - much colder standing around than participating. There were a good few of us on those YOP schemes there then.

It is such a very friendly dog who comes from the antique shop and just walks around the lane when he/she fels like. Everybody seems to know him/her and he/she seems to visit people in the other shops. Nice pic

I cheated there because we were behind with Pic of the day, so I just dragged that one out.
The photo was taken last year .. probably May.
The blossom trees on Townsend are always lovely every year.

[lindylou]

What a nice place. I havn't seen it before. Where about in Seaforth is it ?

[Ged]

Here's another of it, a haven of tranquility, yet only a stones throw from the main gateway past Seaforth Docks. It's situated on the corner of Crosby Road South and Cambridge Road.

[gregs dad]

Were the bowling greens still there Ged, used to play there twice a season
in league matches and sometimes in cup games.

[Ged]

It looked desolate Joe. There's the larged grassed area along the length of Cambridge Road but I didn't really look for or notice any bowling greens. It's a pity that stone house is tinned up.

The other end of the building has collapsed even more recently. Of course someone owns these buildings. The City council should ensure the absentee owner keeps the building in a safe condition.

[Ged]

That contains sand or grit.
