Go Penguins II
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010I had hoped to post a gallery of Go Penguin photographs I took after work tonight in St George’s Hall Liverpool as sixty of them are displayed before being put up for auction later in the week. Photoshop doesn’t seem to want to do the image processing automatically so I’ll have to go through them […]
Snowfall 2 – The Return of the White Stuff
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010I’ve been living in Liverpool since the early ’90s and I can’t remember snow this deep. Certainly beats the light dusting of snow in December. See also: Winter Wonderland – Snow Day and Snow day 🙂.
Go Penguin Hunting
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009While doing a few bits odd an ends of Christmas shopping in Liverpool I did a bit of Go Penguin hunting. They’re sneaky and elusive creatures that like hiding in crowds of children. Here are the ones I managed to get shots of.
Il Forno and The Informant
Monday, November 23rd, 2009Oh dear looks like I need to get my grumpy hat out for both Il Forno and The Informant… Went to Il Forno on Duke Street in Liverpool for dinner before going to see the early evening showing of The Informant at FACT. Things started well with quick service and an excellent swordfish tart starter […]
Fantastic Mr Fox
Friday, November 20th, 2009Fanstastic Mr Fox is probably my favourite Roald Dahl children’s story. So today I decided I’d go and see it at the Odeon in Liverpool 1 and crossed my fingers they’d not treated the source material as a slum clearance job it like Disney did with Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Given the source materials brevity it’s […]
The Customer is Always Wrong…
Thursday, March 19th, 2009at least if their a tennant. The picture is of a leaflet sent out by Arena Housing and they have now apologised (see the BBC for more details). Last year another Liverpool landlord put notices on the house of tennants who they say hadn’t paid their rent. A growing number of tennants are being evicted […]
Transporter 3
Friday, December 12th, 2008Went to see Transporter 3 at the Liverpool One Odeon last night. It delivers exactly what it says on the packet – a straight forward action film. Of the three films I’d say its plot it probably the most coherent (well as coherent as any of them). I’d like to have seen more of François […]
The Good, The Bad and the Upside Down?
Saturday, December 6th, 2008No not a new Peter Jackson and Russell Crowe remake of the Sergio Leone classic just a little accident with the film at the Philharmonic tonight. Then I did some pretty awful things when I was a projectionist so I’ll not hold it against them.

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008I use the Liverpool to Norwich rail service several times a year to get to a variety of destinations. Central Trains were never perfect but East Midlands Trains seem to take pride in getting it wrong. Where Central Trains would provide vouchers as compensation when late with an explanation of the cause I’ve yet to […]
Odeon Liverpool 1
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008Last night’s trip to see The Quantum of Solace was also our first expedition to Liverpool 1’s new Odeon. In most respects its a big improvement over the old Odeous on London road. It helps that the seats are actually set so you’re looking at the screen and I was impressed with how easily they […]
