Ferries are using the cruise terminal at the moment
As a 14yr old office boy with the Waterloo Dock Masters Office I climbed out on the window ledge atop the dome of the MDHB Building & on another occasion as I gayly wended my way along the side of the Princes Dock singing 'Mersey Docks & Harbour Board & all the lazy dockers ',one guy did not appreciate it & grabbed me & held me over the dock , saying as he did 'Say it now you little b*****d'Quote:

Love this description: The wolves echo an eternal, universal city yet describe something feral and disruptive of everyday experience.

Interesting... and a bit of irony there too. Of course the symbol of Rome, known as the eternal city, is the wolf suckling the twins Romulus and Remus. But I am not sure the Liverpool wolf is meant to be related to the wolf of Rome is it? :DQuote:

I hate hearing them called snow globes though. Maybe wrongly but I was brought up calling them snowstorms. Snow globes sounds o american to me. No offence meant to our american cousins

Canadian geese on the iced over Stanley locks.
On a walk along the canal yesterday saw plenty of coots and ducks but not many geese, they`d all emigrated to the locks
Yeah, I think it might be an Americanism.Quote:

I called this one a snow globe though because everyone is calling it that :) :)

I shall happily swap my chosen loch for this frozen lock on this St Andrew's Day. :)
Yes great photograph, Joe! But Brrrrrrrrrr. Oudeis, many thanks for reminding me that this is St. Andrew's Day. I shall be attending the St. Andrew's Day dinner of the St. Andrew's Society of Baltimore on Thursday at a local hotel. I wrote their bicentennial history several years ago.Quote:
