This week I find myself in Liverpool

[bellaozzydog]

I find myself in Liverpool on a course for a week

First time ever

Based near Baltic triangle and course in basically on the river (Brunswick)

City life is all a bit fast and furious for me.

Working 0900-1500 daily rest of the time just kicking my heels

Any recommendations for shit to do gratefully received

Leaving Saturday

Tate Liverpool? Or go and have a look at the cathedrals. You could also pop over to the Wirral and go and wander around Port Sunlight.

Also can highly recommend Liverpool museum and library. The museum has odd things like mummies and the library is an amazing building.

Liverpool, the city of my birth, has an absolute fuckton of things to do, museums, art galleries, concerts, plays, often lots of street theatre and art as well. It's traditional to use the ;ferry cross the mersey', one can stay on for a return trip. You're near the three graces down at the pier head, all worth a good mooch. Keep y'hand on y'wallet though, there are some willing to deprive you of it. There's the cavern area if Beatles work for you, your course is also near the yellow submarine on the dock. The smuggler's cove on the albert dock was very good for food when I was last there. I would avoid Liverpool One, the newish shopping/eating area in town, if you don't like too many people etc. What interests you ?

If you get a sunny day, go to the RC cathedral. The stained glass in the lantern is absolutely stunning.

I’ve always wanted to visit the Western Approaches museum (think that’s the name)

Liverpool is very compact, it's an easy city to wander around, plenty to do whatever you're into and lots of cafes if you just wanted to hang out. I'd also get on the train to Crosby and see Gormley's Another Place.

Probably amazing to be there at sunset I would think

 

[Callie]

Aigburth for food n drinks. The Little Taproom on Aigburth Road is a good place to plonk yourself down for a few pints

 

[Supine]

Get down the beach and see the statues in the sand. They look cool and not many people around.

 

[Riklet]

The Ship and Mitre is a cracking pub.

Chinatown good for food and exploring.

I really rate the Kazimier gardens for evening music and having a beer.

I enjoyed the Walker art gallery (lots of museums there and there's regularly interesting exhibitions on, including about slavery due to the history of the city.

Get a box of chicken and a can of coke in a southern accent

Take the lift up to the tower of the Anglican cathedral. Very nice views from up there!

I took partial retirement, went down to Mon - Thurs 09:00 - 14:00.

When I reviewed how many cases I had handled in the first month of partial retirement vs a full month, my cases per hour worked had risen by nearly 10%.

Baltic Fleet pub
Start easy

Great little pub that. My mates frequent it, one used to be the chef in there.

Have you been to the slavery museum yet?

If you are checking out scouse pub toilets, you have to go to the Philharmonic.

I can book in slavery on Thursday but I’ve got to get through Stan Boardman at the comedy club on Wednesday night

I'm amazed he's still alive. Let's hope his 'comedy' has moved into this century...

Dread to think how noisy they must be - like pissing into a tin bath.

I’m expecting it to be potentially challenging but it was the most fucking scouse thing I could find to do this week

After checking the heads out at “The Phil”

“The Phil ornate pissers”

Done it mate

 

[sojourner]

I'd rather punch myself in the tits repeatedly than watch Stan Boardman.
