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 Football Club

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

...team place. Rafa Benitez, the then Tenerife boss, took him on loan and he had an impressive season, scoring 16 goals in 40 matches during their promotion campaign. After returning to Valladolid, Atletico Madrid swooped for him in 2002 and, after another impressive season, he returned to Barcelona just a year later. Just a year later, though, he was again on the move after struggling once more to hold down a regular place as he battled with the likes of Ronaldinho and Xavi. Rafa once more swooped, this time buying him for Liverpool. His first season at Liverpool must be seen as a roaring success. Despite a few poor performances and sometimes giving the ball up easily Luis finished the joint top scorer that season with 13 goals. The quantity of the goals was not as important as the timing of them. He scored some terrific goals during...

Review of Liverpool

Odeon - Liverpool's Number One

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

...on Paradise Street, on the upper level of the Liverpool ONE shopping complex, conveniently surrounded by no less than 5 eating establishments, should you feel peckish before or after your film. It's obviously very central - about a 15 minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street and about 5-10 minutes from Liverpool Central on foot. The entrance is large, which is perhaps for the best as it can get pretty busy - particularly at weekends and on Wednesdays. The Box Office is located to your right as you enter through automatic doors, and there are three or four tills, although when it's not too busy only one or two are manned. The counter runs along the right side, where the Box Office ends, the food counter begins, where you can buy popcorn, nachos, hotdogs, drinks and other film snacks. On the opposite side there's another food counter selling Ben...

Review of Odeon Liverpool (City Centre)

Nee naa , nee naa , its the police on a motorbike

Advantages: good for role play
Disadvantages: none

...I was playing with the Lego police motorcycle at work the other day. I pushed it fast through the streets and my policeman helped the Lego lady find the lost Lego boy. My police man got back on his motorbike and rushed through the Lego streets, there had been a Lego car accident. Then my Lego police motor bile had to go to a robbery he was met by the Lego police car the Lego policemen sucessfully caught the robber and took him to Lego jail. No I am not getting into my second childhood; I was at work playing with a group of children. I love my job it allows me to play with all the toys. This Lego police motorbike is a good addition to any Lego set. You can buy it at most toy or toy departments or look on line where you can buy it at http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=7235 . Where it only costs £2.99. I am sure it is available at many...

Review of Lego Police: Police Motorcycle

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...

Review of Liverpool

Keeping warm on a motorbike

Advantages: Absolutely windproof material
Disadvantages: Windproof material not used on the whole garment

...and definitely down the back of my neck. I think I'll buy another one and stitch a panel of Windstopper material into the back of the first one. Manufacturers seem to think we only get the wind blowing at us from the front. Maybe that's true for the driver, but it seems to whistle round in circles at the back of the bike. The neckwarmer has a neck piece that goes up over your chin, and it also covers the top of your chest, about the length of a baby's bib, and this bit goes over your shoulders and down the back too. A bit like the top part of a polo neck jumper without sleeves or sides. Determined to beat the cold I next bought a pair of leggings, to wear under my trousers. I don't wear the knee warmers at the same time, as the leggings have a Windstopper panel which covers the knees and fronts of the thighs. Unfortunately that is all...

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

Lively Liverpool

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

...Whether you were born here, visit or just come to study here, Liverpool will always hold a special place in your heart. Liverpool is one of those deceptively small cities that squeeze in so much - culture, entertainment, sports, religion? There is nothing that Liverpool does not have to offer. CULTURE: Liverpool has several theatres - The Empire (the largest and arguably the best), The Playhouse at Williamson Square, The Neptune on Hanover Street, The Unity Theatre, the Royal Court, Everyman and of course the Philharmonic Hall - so you're guaranteed to find something to suit your tastes, whether you want a concert, musical or play. There are also 3 museums - HM Customs & Excise National Museum which is inside the Merseyside Maritime Museum at Albert Dock (you can find out the history of Customs & Excise as well as the slave...

Review of Liverpool in general

Liverpool FC

Advantages: Strong Squad, successful
Disadvantages: none

...Liverpool are the team that everyone is talking about at the moment. With them winning a cup treble, why shouldn't people talk about them. They are a strong team, and will get better. They have got quite a strong midfield, with the likes of Gerrard (best midfielder), Redknapp (back from injury) he will be like a new signing for them, Berger (he can score some fantastic goals), Danny Murphy (young). Liverpool have got an excellent strike force, with Owen, Fowler and Heskey, all England internationals, and all deadly finishers. Also there is Litmanen, the playmaker. I think the main problem, in the squad, is not enough cover at the centre back position, i thought that Henchoz looked out of his place, in some games last season. Houllier needs to buy someone that equals the quality of Hyypia. Hyypia was great last season. I...

Review of Liverpool

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...
