What Can You See?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Liverpool has two cathedrals, so there :P

And if I had a telescope and a very clear day, I might just see them from my window :innocent:

Oh yes, some of the more 'mature' HLers will remember the theme tune to The Liver Birds " ...and if you want a cathedral, we've got one to spare ..." :wink:

However, getting close up to it at nighttime, especially around the parts that aren't as lit up, like around the Chapter House, whilst the sky's a deep blue and the sun has all but set, and THEN it's beautiful.

Yes, well. It did provide decades of work for the local roofing companies :innocent: :lol:

We can actually see the "proper" cathedral from our back bedroom window. It's just getting into the back bedroom and navigating your way to the window that makes it difficult :lol:

But I can't actually see it from where t'computer is. So it don't count.

I can now see lots of wet trees. Out of the front I can see lots of wet houses. Upton's such an interesting place :roll:

Aft, a damp garden and a railway embankment (lots of fun at six eh em with a hangover and a twenty car diesal train shoots past). To my right, a damp street of terraced houses. Sympathies, Motz, everything looks worse in the rain...

Snap :wink: Still, at least it stops the neighbours having one of their paraffin barbecue specials :roll:

Looking out across Roche Ferrez, I do believe there is slightly less water in the air than there was an hour ago. Might even have a trip to the Capital Of Culcha 8)

Seriously, what does Capital of Culture mean about from shutting down Quiggins for some arty boll*cks and putting up so many bloody banners that navigation through the city center is nigh on impossible because you can't see the shop names? :urff:

@Motz - but when Quiggins takes over Lewises, I won't have so far to walk from the station :lol:
