Re: Moz walks off stage
I have no illusions about Birkenhead town or Rock Ferry.My Aunt lives across the park and I have many relations live in the area.
"unlike you well-read educated types"
Well thank you kindly sir.
You've backed the wrong horse there.
"who STILL carry a deranged sense of "Tribal" pride around with you.....stereotypically mouthing off about a City that you have been Programmed to dislike by the media"
There is no stereotyping from me.
I know from personal experience.
I just feel sorry for the people left flat Saturday night.
I was at Swindon so I do understand.
As for slagging off Liverpool,why not?
The trouble is so many Liverpudlians seem to like it that way.
A lot of money has been spent in Liverpool trying to improve the area.
For some reason within a few years it's back to how it was.I know because I've seen it for myself.I worked on projects years ago for the garden festival.
What are them areas like now?
Do you know?
The stereotyping is not that far from the truth I'm sorry to say.
"mind your car mister"
Of course, No one has EVER had a car stolen anywhere else on the planet,... ONLY in Liverpool does this crime happen...
Of course, Morrissey has NEVER had a "Missile" aimed at him from anywhere else except liverpool ( I have an interesting DVD of Derby, 1984, that Blatantly disproves THAT theory....Just for One instance....amongst MANY others, that have occured....and EACH one is stupid....But, I suppose some people will blame a scouser for THAT and all the others as well....)
Nobody, despite the "Scouse" bashing that is going on the forums here, can actually PROVE (At the moment anyway.....) where the Guy ( Or Girl.....according to other posts...) who threw the Glass/Bottle whatever was actually from...
To "Quote" you yourself, just a few posts earlier...... "capital of Culture my Arse"..... STILL No stereotype eh???....
Yup, Liverpool has bad and good people, most cities/towns do...
A lot of money has indeed been spent in the area, and the City is Vibrant and alive again...( in fact MOST "Birkonians" do their drinking there at weekends, as Birkenhead is Incredibly Hostile at night.... Truly a dangerous place........but, I bet that not ALL the local residents are bad...( I know that actually....I live there....I Just don't like the city centre at weekends....).
Sorry to get this Topic "Off" the topic, with this debate, but making generalised " Capital Of Culture My Arse " statements without FACTS helps nobody or nothing .....without PROOF of the offenders home-town origins.....
Sorry to hear that you were Disappointed too at the Swindon Show.....That has got to have been much worse to witness...
In Finishing, as a fellow "Ex" Rock Ferry resident.....instead of finding a "Youtube" clip of Liverpools apparent Decay to post ( What??? NO empty houses anywhere else on the planet????....please try harder......)
try getting a "Video" from the "Crooked Billet" pub in the "Ferry" As the cavemen Call it....and Women...( If it's still open...) of ANY saturday night....
And, I cannot personally speak about working at the " International Garden Festival" site, as I was working in "Fords" at the time, but it was indeed appreciated at the time of its opening....I do not work for Liverpool Council, so cannot comment on why it was indeed left to "Rot" ( again, only in Liverpool does this happen.........Have you seen the STATE of the Lady Diana tribute in London????.....bloody scousers again, I Suppose....).......Maybe Morrissey could Re-arrange a gig at the IGF site, when it is Revived again......( as is currently happening....)....Allegedly, he likes flowers....
