Once upon a time, in Liverpool...

Advantages: An excellent museum dedicated to the Fab Four, suitable for all age groups
Disadvantages: Some of the headsets are a bit dodgy (it was just mine) and some displays not working

...This time during the month of Beatlemania, instead of just writing about the bands albums, films and death theories, I wanted to write about some of the ways in which Liverpool still celebrate the lives of their favourite sons (beside the football players!). Although Ringo made a few disparaging comments towards his hometown a year or two ago, the phrase ?everyone has to start somewhere? springs to mind and ? although I may be a little bias ? I would have to say that Liverpool is very much the land of opportunity compared to where I live! Right at the heart of the city is Albert Dock, a place now surrounded by various shops, museums and even a hotel with the Echo Arena mere feet away. When I was very little, perhaps six, I remember Mummy and Daddy, as they were affectionately called back then, taking my Brother and I right near...

Review of The Beatles Story, Liverpool

Liverpool John Moores University - GREAT PLACE

Advantages: Great social life, friendly and very helpful
Disadvantages: University Campus can be quite far apart.

...I graduated from Liverpool John Moores University in 2005 where I did my degree, I loved it that much I went back to do a professional post-graduate course and will finish this in June of this year. Although I will be extremly pleased to be finishing my education I will sadly miss the university. they have great opportunites for students. They advertise all there events etc within the campus' and libraries, they also advertise in the students union and send out regular emails letting everyone now what events are happening and where and when they will take place. The university itself has alot of campus centres which is not so great as they are scattered around the town in various locations with some not being so easy to get to. Yes they do provide transport to and from the centres on a regular day to day basis. The students union...

Review of John Moores University, Liverpool

Liverpool Football Club

Advantages: Great squad, great fans, great manager, great history
Disadvantages: No league title for 16 years

...the bad spotlight. He quickly regained his form and produced a man of the match performance against Manchester United to help Liverpool win the Worthington Cup. More recently he has produced heroics that surely nobody could forget in the Champions League final. After seeming dead and buried at 3-0 down at half time Liverpool somehow levelled it with a magnificent second half performance. Extra time saw Jerzy make one of the best double saves ever from Andriy Shevchenko with just seconds on the clock. He then went on to produce heroics in the penalty shoot out and the rest, as they say, is history. 2. Jan Kromkamp Born on 17th August 1980 in Makkinga, Holland, Jan is a recent addition to the squad. He started out with Go Ahead Eagles in 1998 and, after making 61 appearances, was snapped up by AZ Alkmaar. He rose to prominence thanks to...

Odeon - Liverpool's Number One

Advantages: Good sized screens, great auditoriums, caters for everyone,
Disadvantages: Popcorn sometimes cardboardy, expensive chocolate treats,

...one. Admission prices vary from Odeon to Odeon. Even within this one branch, there's a long list of prices which vary depending on a lot of factors. I don't wish to list them all, should you wish to consult them they're listed in the Box Office and on the Odeon website, under Liverpool ONE's page. However, a few things you should know: * Adult = 15 years or over * Concessions are granted to under 15s, seniors and students (with a valid NUS card - although a University ID should do the trick). * Family tickets are available * Children under 2 get in for free, providing they sit in your arms. If they take up a seat, you have to pay. * Group bookings are available Seats can also be divided into three sections:- * Standard * Premier * Gallery I'll talk about the Gallery in more detail later. Premier seats are located in...

Review of Odeon Liverpool (City Centre)

Liverpool in trouble

Advantages: One of the biggest clubs in Europe...
Disadvantages: ...going through their worst run in 50 years.

...Picture the scene; it's early November and after a 2-0 win against West Ham, Liverpool went seven points clear at the top of the Premiership and were striding towards a place in the next round of the Champions League, it appeared that it would have to take something very special to knock them out of their stride. Three months on and defeats to the likes of Middlesborough and Sunderland have seen Liverpool slump down the Premiership with no wins in eleven games and an early exit from the Champion League at the hands of little known Swiss club Basle. So where has it all gone wrong for the mighty reds? Every pundit, fan and his dog has had their two pence worth. Excuses and reasons range from poor management and lack of commitment from the players, to wrong formation and wrong players. I think the problem is much simpler...

Lively Liverpool

Advantages: I live here
Disadvantages: Some shops aren't here, the weather

...(locally known as Paddy's Wigwam) on Mount Pleasant, near to Liverpool University Student's Union, and at the other end of Hope Street, The Anglican Cathedral, the largest Anglican Cathedral in Europe. Admission is free to both but donations are welcome. SCENERY: The city itself is quite attractive. If you take a walk down to the Pierhead you can gaze at the Liver Birds on top of the Liver Buildings. There are lots of old buildings in the city that give you a real sense of the city's history. If you want to go a little further afield whilst you're in Liverpool, a good tip (for the summer) is to head North to Formby and the surrounding area. Here you will find the Red Squirrel nature reserve and a nice beach and sand dunes. You can get a train to Formby from Liverpool Central station, or alternatively drive there. It is about 12-15 miles...

Review of Liverpool in general

UPDATED Liverpool FC Treble winners 2001

Advantages: On their Day can Beat absolutely ANYONE
Disadvantages: Cant we just win something the easy way for once

...Oh well, I think its about time I re-wrote my opinion on Liverpool, I wrote the original opinion earlier in the season, when we where showing terrible inconsistency, but it seems this got sorted out, as we went on to win a “HISTORIC TREBLE”, by winning the Worthington Cup, The FA Cup and the U.E.F.A Cup, a fete that has never been done by any English team, and hopefully we can round off a great season on Saturday, by gaining the third Champions League place, by beating Charlton Athletic. The Worthington cup was won in Cardiff on the 25th of February, by beating a very brave and committed Birmingham City, who took us all the way to penalties, after the match ended 1-1 after extra-time, maybe this was the warning to us Liverpool fans, that if we won this Treble, it would be at the cost of our Health and Sanity, as this was...

Review of Liverpool

Liverpool University is A great Place

Advantages: City centre campus..Good all round reputation. Friendly
Disadvantages: Some modern buildings are ugly

...I chose to read poltical science at Liverpool mainly on account of advice I received at my college in Malaysia and from my father,who was formerly an academic.Both the College staff and my father told me that the University had an excellent academic reputation and was renowned as a friendly place.The city also is very well known outside of Britain and is I guess best known after London. They were both reliable sources of information. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the U and found that academic standards were very high, The vast majority of the lecturers were helpful,knowlegeable, and interacted well with students.The student accommodation=I stayed in Mulberry Court and Tudor Court-was very good,the bedroom was comfortable and the communal kitchen well equipped. The campus is just off the city centre and so convenient for shops...

Review of Liverpool University

Liverpool...good,bad,ugly

Advantages: entertainment
Disadvantages: emotional rollercoaster

...Ah,now where do i start? The love of my life and also the bain of it too. Liverpool fc,the colourful,famous,entertaining,boring,frustrating and all be it said,somewhat disappointing of late.A team of super talented blokes that give me an emotional rollercoaster ride year after year. I dont expect everyone to understand the passion of football and personally over the last 30 years i have been lucky enough to follow liverpool all over europe,some would say 'waste of money' others would say 'is it that important',well in a word yes it is. Many sports offer the same sort of passion but when all said and done i think you cant beat football for its sheer entertainment value. This is where i believe Liverpool hold the key to giving the fans what they want most of the time. Anfield,the home of liverpool is a stadium where no other set...

Review of Liverpool

Come on Liverpool

Advantages: New stadium
Disadvantages: Leaving Anfield

...I have been a Liverpool supporter for the last twenty years, since I was seven years old. Memories from the Eighties of Liverpool winning everything , championships, fa cups, league cups and european cups. Memories of the nineties of Liverpool winning nothing except the fa cup. This forthcoming season I think will be the turning point for us Liverpool fans, the squad now has depth and a manager who seems right for the job, so come on Liverpool lets shut these glory supporters of other teams up. COME ON LIVERPOOL. COME ON LIVERPOOL. YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE....
