The Albert Dock-Wonderful Reincarnation

Advantages: A lot to do and see.
Disadvantages: Can get crowded

...The Albert Dock is the major visitor attraction in Liverpool and is an amazing reincarnation for it was a decaying dock area not so many years ago. Today its roaring success is because there is a lot to do and see at this attraction.As the whole world knows the most famous pop group ever were Liverpool born and bred and the Beatles Story Exhibition pulls in a lot of visitors. Liverpool.at one time,was the world's greatest port and the base for migrants from Europe to go to the New World. The fascinating story of this is well told in the Mersey Maritime Museum. For culture buffs there is the Tate Gallery North to visit and the Customs and Excise Museum attracts a large number of people. The place has an excellent range of cafes,bars,pubs and restaurants and if you fancy a shopping binge you have a lot of choice with the likes of book...

Review of The Albert Dock

Bose Sound Dock (2nd Generation)

Advantages: Incredible sound from such a small unit, good build quality
Disadvantages: Price

...I bought this unit in November this year. There are two models, the original sound dock which I think is about £199 and the second generation one (the one I bought) which was £279 from John Lewis. The second generation one is basically the same as the first except: a) it has a rechargeable battery b) it has a swing out dock c) it has an auxiliary (3.5mm) jack input If you just want a basic model, then go for the first gen one. I got the second gen one because I thought the battery was a useful addition as is the auxiliary 3.5mm input - I have mine connected to an apple airport express that streams itunes from my laptop to my bedroom although I have used it in a friends house with my ipod too. The sound quality is good for its size which is about the same as a hardback book and it weighs in at about 1 kilo. You can take...

Bose SoundDock Digital Music System Review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall...

Can't say enough good things about the Bose SoundDock

Advantages: size, ease of use, sound quality
Disadvantages: can't connect to a computer, price

...figure out what they do. It also charges your iPod while it's docked, so there's no worry about it running out of battery while using the SoundDock. I think the best thing I could say about this, is that two people, after having listened to my SoundDock have literally rushed out and bought their own. I've had this almost a year now and my overall conclusion is this...it's small, it's pretty and it sounds bloody brilliant....

A Great Day Out.

Advantages: Interesting shops and many attractions.
Disadvantages: None

...The first time we visited the Albert Dock at Liverpool was when I won a competition in one of our local newspapers for a family ticket to the Beatles Story Exhibition, plus free train travel to and from Liverpool. As we walked through Liverpool from the train station we already realised what a wonderful city Liverpool seemed to be, with a great shopping centre and very friendly local people. When we arrived at the Albert Dock we were very pleasantly surprised. We expected the Beatles Story to be the main attraction at the Dock, but in fact it is only one of many interesting and varied places to see and visit around the Dock. Of course the River Mersey dominates the whole area and I did not realise just how wide this river was and to sit on the banks of the river watching the boats go by is very relaxing on a sunny afternoon...

Collingwood21 Gets Sent to Room 101 (And Likes It)

Advantages: Renovated 19th building with character retained, Good room & breakfast, Helpful staff
Disadvantages: My mattress was a bit too firm

...I recently stayed at the Premier Inn Liverpool Albert Dock while I was on a training course for work being held in the nearby BT Convention Centre. I normally discuss what led me to make a certain choice of hotel when I come to review them, but in this instance the choice was made for me by my department's budget holder - in other words, this was the cheapest hotel in the vicinity! This also means that I cannot comment directly on what the Premier Inn booking experience is like; I can, however, say the customer service people at their website are prompt to respond to emails and are very helpful, as I contacted them to confirm check-in details and got a friendly reply in less than 24 hours (which is good in my experience of such things). This was my first experience of staying in a Premier Inn hotel, and my only knowledge of them prior to...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Liverpool - Albert Dock, Liverpool

Take a look through this Glass on the canal. (Glasson Dock)

Advantages: A lovely, quaint little village that has kept it's charm.
Disadvantages: None at all

... GLASSON DOCK Glasson Dock is famous - because I live there!! Seriously, my home village is a little gem. Glasson Dock is just south of the city of Lancaster, at the mouth of the River Lune. Up until about 200 years ago there was only fields and marshland where Glasson Dock now stands. If the river Lune had been more navigable Glasson Dock may never have been - in 1779 Lancaster port commission decided to build a dock at Glasson as it was difficult to navigate boats up the Lune to the docks in Lancaster. Before it became a dock, Glasson was the site of small farming and fishing community, known as Old Glasson and Brows-saltcote. The shipyards were largely concerned with ship repair rather than shipbuilding, and closed in 1968, with the dry dock filled in a year later. Now a limited amount of commercial ships...

Review of Glasson Dock, Lancashire

WWF Albert

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Albert Albert is a very big man - he weighs in at 350 pounds and most of that is pure muscle! and he is a big man too, 6'8 inches or somewhere along those lines! He has an array of moves he uses. The first is his finisher - the Baldo Bombb; aptly named considering his hair style... or lack thereof... In which he lifts them by the throat and drives them to the floor. Second is the big kick, a standing scissor kick type thing, it looks good and is very effective. He also uses coner splash and big splashes, gorrila press slams and basically any and all power moves... He started as Prince Albert and feuded on Metal with D'Lo Brown; he then went up the rankings and teamed with the Big Bossman. He then formed the T&A with Test (Test and Albert equals T&A, Get it?) and they came close to the tag titles but never got them. they then...

Review of Albert

Cheap Informative Fun

Advantages: Cheap informative, fun
Disadvantages: none

...The Albert Dock in Liverpool is the main tourist area of the once thriving Liverpool dock lands. Located within a 5-minute walk from the city centre it is easy to get to. The Albert Dock is home to the old Granada studios where good morning was filmed as well as the world famous Fred's weather map located in the dock. You will find the Tate art galley, which is free to enter and is full of historic and modern art and is a pleasure to visit. The beetle's story is a museum dedicated to the lives of Liverpool's most famous band. Finally the other museum is Liverpool Maritime museum which is an informative history of the Liverpool Docks including Liverpool's involvement in the slave trade. Shopping is good for arts and crafts, as well as memorabilia. There are countless small shops situated around the dock, which you can pick up...
