Liverpool - 'City of Culture'.
Yeah right - and Chernobyl is the 'City of Health and Safety'.

Actually just to be a stick in the mud
There are some brilliant underground nights in and around liverpool. Lots of breaks, psytrance, drum and bass and almost always away from the eyes of scallies.

Liverpool has great buildings, great parks, mostly nice people and has a fairly decent alternative scene.

for 3 weeks running
different clubs i'd gone to in town had massive fights in them. i actually had my top torn off by some pissed-up bloke shouting "show us yer tits!" that was in cain's, opposite mathew street.
this is why i stick to the gay scene with my mates. i'm not gay myself, but the atmosphere is much better.

Liverpool has at least one redeeming feature:

Here's the thing; I was in the city for almost a day and didn't even see a single scally. Do they only come out at night?

I'm sure your dog must have seen some,
are you sure you didn't trip over any? I'm a Merseysider and I'm convinced scalls are even more ubiquitous than rats there, but with half the diseases.

totally disagree
Think of a better city outside of london with more history, more things to do and see, more beautiful, - you simply cant. Birminghma - what has it got apart from canals. Manchester has a football club and shops. Liverpool has all of these, plus a rich history - most of which England owes alot of its success to.


A friend of mine recently brought his french girlfriend to liverpool and couldnt get over how boring the other citys were compared to. (bar london)

Seriously, Liverpoool crime rate isnt something to bring up anymore, as there are worse citys to think of first.

Getting into fights in liverpool? Impretty sure they happen in every city.

Totally disagree
Liverpool is a filth infested, criminal shithole.

In the year I lived there we were burgled 5 times. I'm sure times have changed but I doubt the pond-life have.

I also met a girl there who wanted to be 'done' while being suspended by her ankles. (Irrelevant but amusing)

well
where about in Liverpool did you live?

I've lived here for years, and we once had a bike taken out of the shed when it was left unlocked.

And I live in an average (by liverpool standards) area.

history?
your having a laugh arent you...

and the shops...

and...well.. I wont go down the football route...

Newcastle is pretty cool. It just doesnt compare to Liverpool in my eyes... its alot smaller too. and i dont even live in liverpool. Fair enough it has its issues, and its bad areas .... but hasnt every city?

Its just got this horrible stereotype :(
