Quality town planning that.
Sounds like a good day out all the same....especially if you pass out small arms to both sides :D Darwin in action.
aintree is before Kirkby, north of Liverpool. about 15 or so minutes from, city centre by car. the home of the Grand National Steeplechase, and a bloody good day out on the ale. but we always go on the Thurday before the National (never on the Saturday coz its too packed), and quite often see the Liverpool players there having a flutter. its full of bill and danny in their hats.
real Cavern is well gone. the fake Cavern seems to satisfy the Japanese tourists though.

That's a line from Running to Stand Still: "I see seven towers, but I only see one way out."
Is that what it's about?

“Seven Towers” – old Parish Church, St. Patrick’s Church of Ireland, First Ballymena Presbyterian Church, All Saints Roman Catholic Church, Old Town Hall, Braidwater Spinning Mill and Ballymena Castle. Unfortunately only three towers now remain; Old Parish Church, St Patrick’s Church of Ireland (the Church I belong to :)) and All Saints Roman Catholic Church.
No I don't think that U2's "Running to a Standstill" refers to Ballymena.

No, that's Ballymun in Dublin, which is notorious for the crime and heroin. The seven tours are the flats. Here's a pic:

No No.... I Mean.... I knew you hadn;t a fuckin leg to stand on, but I expected better of you than "no contest" on my little Belfast Brochure :D
hence bafflement...you sitting there going "defend Belfast.....hmmmmmmmm"
I like this photo 'cause I used to live in the apartment building that had the rooftop pool (you can see it in the lower-left), and on game days, the Goodyear blimp would buzz the roof of the building to check out the girls in their swimwear. Kind of like the climax of Close Encounters.
Just above that is my office building, where I'm writing this scintillating post.
Here are some pics of my adopted home city of Winterthur, 20 minutes north of Zürich...
A snowy Winterthur
The Stadtgarten
My place of business is located on the other side of the green building in the center, which is a grass seed warehouse.....and a prime magnet for hungry rodents of all size. With the railroad tracks on the left, and a homeless shelter somewhere on the right, it's no wonder we find empty liquor bottles and used drug paraphenalia all of the time (biggest joke is that the city police department is half a mile down the road to the right....
The Lutheran Church a few blocks from my house....
