Bought some paint, a few brushes and a whip. Gave the paint and brushes to the girlfriend and whipped her until she'd finished. Then I whipped her some more! :Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:Quote:

Hope the thread gets populated often by the ever changing Liverpool Skyline, thanks peeps:celb (23):
LOOKING up at the city centre skyline it is impossible to miss the myriad of cranes that now dominate the view - what an impact winning the European Capital of Culture for 2008 has had for Liverpool.
The number and breadth of building projects now under way is almost overwhelming.
The most eye-catching from the top of Paradise Street multi-storey car park is the £850m Grosvenor scheme which is truly massive.
This combined with the Met Quarter scheme will put Liverpool right back on the map in terms of offering a quality retail shopping and leisure experience.
It doesn't just stop at retail, there are a number of new office schemes currently in progress: work is now under way on a 300,000 sq ft St Paul's Square scheme and the 144,000 sq ft City Square development is now nearing completion.
Tie this in with the £60m Rumford Development, which offers a mix of 16 storey offices and a 27-storey residential tower, you can see that words such as "renaissance" and "regeneration" are not misplaced in the city centre.
Demand for residential development is still strong - the 26 storey Alexandra Tower and the City Lofts development down at Princes Dock are evidence enough. The latter projects are just two of a number of schemes at Princes Dock and Kings Dock. Also under construction is a new Malmaison Hotel and work has begun on an arena and conference centre which are due to be completed prior to 2008, with two hotels and a further 1,800 apartments, offices and shops to be constructed starting post-2008.
Much has been said about the state of the hotel market in Liverpool with endless comments about occupation rates. However, the industry has remained bullish throughout and this is borne out by the fact that for the annual Mathew Street Festival at the end of August, all the hotels in the city were fully booked.
It is an exciting time, not only for the property specialist in our department but also for our planning, construction and environmental teams who are all involved in the projects that are literally rising out of the ground before our very eyes.

Nowhere comes close.

Needs taller buildings.

Excellent Paul, where's Unity?Quote:

I love the new beetham. Are you going on the Unity tour next week?
BTW - WATERFRONT planners are ordering new buildings be raised above the river as they prepare for global warming.
Sea levels around Liverpool have risen by 6cm in the last 50 years and could swell by another 67cm by 2080.
And plans are already being laid to prepare for knock-on effects in the Mersey.
Liverpool's waterfront is going through a renaissance, with patches of land next to the Mersey the target for big-money building firms.
Work is already under way at Kings Dock, while Princes Dock and Mann Island are both earmarked for expensive projects.
But Environment Agency experts are telling developers to raise buildings above the water level to avoid risk of widespread flooding.
Hi-tech equipment has identified more areas at risk of flooding, and rules and regulations are more strict than ever before. continues...
No I wont be going Kev but I hope to go to a SSC meet up soon do you reckon you could make it?
Depends if its a weekend or evening. Will try and make it, deffo.Quote:
