    Thanks Mam, serious broadband issues in the area for the past couple of months, seems to have resolved itself for now, on the plus side it gave me a great excuse to tear into the pile of books that were waiting to be read, good to be back :D

    Maybe it goes back to my love of anything to do with Liverpool and someone once told me that at one stage 4 of the top 5 singles in the UK were once all from Liverpool, between The Beatles(twice), Cilla and another band who's name I've forgotten. I'm not sure if that's true but I love it. Liverpool is, and always has been a wonderful place.
    Anyway..............


    Gerry and the Pacemakers.Also managed by Brian Epstein along will Cilla and The Beatles. He knew a thing or two about talent, did Brian and we could do with someone of his calibre again.

    Time for my hose down. Might listen to Cilla while I wash my hair.

    Wow! I tip my hat to you. I've no idea who you are but what an answer!!!!
    Majorly impressed here :cool:
    Yeah plus admittedly sloppy of me to forget that coz G&PM are the ones who sing You'll Never Walk Alone. After all my Liverpool talk.

    Cracking answer. I think that's my favourite post on boards in a long while.
    If you didn't google that and just knew then that's majorly impressive.
    Fair fooks!

    I love them too but it's not often you'd get an answer like that on here. Have you ever gone to the Cavern in Liverpool?

    I just blasted off Lock Up with Stallone. Really enjoying these movies over the last few nights.:D I also found out tonight that a mickey mouse film I made 13 odd years ago was ripped off on a bigger budget 7 years ago. I'm laughing my head away about it.:D

    I'm off to bed soonish but wudda loved to have heard if Sardonicat has gone over to see The Cavern, hopefully he/she has.
    And for anyone else who ever finds themselves in Liverpool you should go see it.

    @ NerRed I've never been to Liverpool. It's on my ever increasing list. The current Cavern isn't the original is it? It was located across the road from where the one is now, AFAIK. Perhaps you could clarify that. I would love to see the house on Mendip Avenue where John Lenton grew up and see the porch where he and Paul would practice for the acoustics it provided. Wouldn't it have been something to come of age in the early 60s in Liverpool ? I've a story about my aunt who went to work there as a 14 year old at that time but I won't share it here. Let's just say I was very disappointed in her. Clearly the cool skipped over the generation before mine.

    Oh, Sardonicat is a she.

    Isn't he just fabulous? I was so happy for him, he seemed so genuine and down to earth.

    I had a lovely evening with our cat too. I didn't turn on the TV today, I was in a quiet mood. Was reading a book stretched off on the sofa and had my hand down the side rubbing and petting her. She had a new purr tonight that sounded like snoring so I think my belly rubs went down a treat with her. She goes into a shed to bed so I just put her out now with a feed of chicken scraps.

    Our little one stays out during the day doing her own thing in the morning etc but then come about 3 in the afternoon she comes in and goes to sleep at the bottom of our bed, gets up again after 2 or 3 hours and stays outside til 11 or 12, hence shes in here now sound asleep in front of the stove for the night :)

    Oh, Sardonicat is a she.

    Its lovely talking to someone with knowledge like you about these things. Well first off you HAVE to go see Liverpool. It's an amazing city, just steeped in culture and bundles of fun. They're working class funny people, no bull-crap about them. And a Beatles fan like you would LOVE it!! Ya gotta go. After covid passes just look up the football fixtures and select a weekend where Liverpool are playing AWAY from home coz when Liverpool are playing at home the flight prices sky-rocket so if you pick a weekend when Liverpool are away from home the prices of flights get cut in half.
    We went over for 60 quid each one weekend. I mean I got charged close to that to go to Claremorris on a train once for a bank holiday. I'd sorta prefer Liverpool.

    Well theres the cavern and cavern club. So they're 2 places but beside each other. The one yer after is the one with the spiral stair case down through a cave basically and when you hit the bottom they have a bar and live music from Beatle tribute bands and that's the very stage the Beatles started out on, Its the one where they played their gigs back in the day. Yes this one is definitely the original.
    The other is best avoided to put it politely.
    but theres Beatles stuff everywhere when you get to the nearby streets, all marked with plaques, statues and other things, theres even a Beatles tour where they'd bring ya round and show you this and that but ya can do it yerself.
    Not to mention a trip across the Mersey and go see Anfield while yer there. Plus The Docks are fab.
    For someone who's clearly knowledgeable about The Beatles and culture, music, Liverpool is a weekend you'd never forget.

    Just thinking now, surely if anyone from Liverpool is reading this I could get a job on yer tourism board?

    In the bed feeling happy and contented with a big life decision I've made.

    Don't feel that tired but a good sleep will be nice. May your sleep be sound and your dreams pleasant. Goodnight earthlings.
