Default Liverpool As a City

Well i went to collect my Passport today in Liverpool and kinda had to hang about 4 hours to collect it. I only ever been for soccer before so had no idea where i was going really so just went for a walk round. I must say i was impressed with the City Centre, i know theres lots of building going on but still it looked good, clean, tidy, no kosovans loitering about like here...Liverpool1 will be cool when finished and the museum at Albert Dock was ok for nowt lol...so compliments to you scousers.

As a city its a really spectacular place , the city centre is on the up and up , just the outskirts and some of the areas are VERY VERY VERY bad , manchester seems to get the reputation of a violent gun culture , but thats only really because its blacks shooting black and racially motivated/protraid as such

Liverpool its white on white , teens shooting teens - and out of the city centre its rapidly gettin worse in the most part

As a night out tho , youll struggle to find a better night , the people are great, the bars and clubs are amazing and the Girls in liverpool , look after themselves , dress well and look stunning , plus i got a thing for a cute scouse accent on a girl

Thats true, it is a cool city, but as you said Gaz, the pople living in it are going down hill, shame.

Nice to see someone saying something good about the 'Pool though.

So very true,
Used to do office deliveries all over the place and Liverpool was the number 1 for Totty amongst the lads, all said the same thing that they are always well presented.
Given chance I would have ruined half of Liverpool's female population

We have the best decent folk in the world, and the worst scallies in the world. Sadly, at the moment the scallies out weigh the good.

You wanna watch how you talk to me lad. If you see a TDCDCIDDI 125PS Tranny' Van coming sideways out of a corner, jump in a hedge as it's me and the boys (Me, Gary and his dad) Coming to hunt you down.

The dingle isn't so good, I would avoid it like the plague. Mainly because Gary lives there, and he's the type of person who gives Liverpool a bad name. There was an M6 In Garston village with the keys in itm which never got stolen.
