TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE-BRITS.COM

Southport Weekender accomodation is poor, looks like they were built in the 50s....LOL!


I went back in the early 90s and enjoyed it, despite the crap accomodation, but visited again in mid 2000s and found the public had changed!





Too many tarty girls with fake suntans and slapper clothing, plus the urban music room had replaced the modern soul room (not a step forward for my personal tastes).


It has become far too much of a commercial money making event I'd say, compared to how it started.





The one to attend in the future will be 'Vintage' from what mates who attended told me. One friend said 'Vintage' was the best thing he'd attended in 10 years, much better than Southport.


Like any such gathering you need to attend in the early years, before the big business ethos takes over and it eventually becomes too big for its own good!!!





How to survive a weekender by Skel was well funny, and right on point....hahaha

I was at Vintage, good live acts (LeRoy Hutson, Ann Sexton) but the DJ lineup was great. Properly good soul venue, done out like an old nightclub, DJ after Dj playing great tunes, nice. There was a warehouse built to house the 80's era DJ's - once again an amazing line-up, looked great. I was with the kids so couldn't properly indulge, but deffo back next year to enjoy the music.

Not quite. It opened in 1968, but the basic design for all those holiday camps/villages was established just after the end of WWII.

Apparently Brits like to Fuck In Public

You'd wonder if the middle-aged/class mafia on here have contemplated a lay-by visitation with the other half in an attempt to bring back the spark.

I also liked interview in which Rooney contradicts what SAF has been selling us and says he has no injury problem. I alway knew dude was full of it.

 

[magpaul]

I'm gonna finally upgrade my shitty pan'n'scan TV to a chav-styled 40"+ widescreen just for FIFA11. Anyone got it? It's great.

 

[Okem]

My Xbox died again at on Monday. I already fixed it after it's RROD 3 light meltdown, now it's got some to form of fail. THE SUCKING THING SUCKS!

First thing this morning, there were rumours that Hicks had withdrawn the injunction and sold his stake to Mill Financial, a hedge fund, with the intention of getting them to settle the ??237m debt with RBS which was due today if LFC weren't to go into administration and face a catastrophic docking of nine points. If Hicks had succeeded, this would have ended the involvement of RBS and with it the authority of the independent directors appointed by them, who wanted to sell to NESV. Hicks could then have fired the board and sold the club to one of these higher bidders he referred to in his TRO, even though the board had already adjudged that the NESV deal was in the best interests of the club.





As it turned out, this story was untrue, and it looks as if Judge Jim Jordan in the 160th district saw through Hicks' tissue of bullshit, and deferred to the decision of the High Court over here (a verdict that Hicks apparently neglected to mention when seeking the initial TRO). Hick had nowhere else to go, and threw in the towel, but only after declaring he'd be seeking $1bn in damages. The announcement that NESV were the new owners of LFC came at about 4:00pm GMT.





The minute-by-minute coverage on The Guardian website has been extraordinary.

A couple of big sorting offices in London being put to the sword - Nine Elms Lane and another one, I forget whereabouts. I'd imagine that's just the start.





Everything is being cut - the caring, sharing Conservatives we were promised turn out to be the kind of free-market ideologues whose every waking moment is apparently occupied with thoughts of how far and how quickly they can roll back the welfare state. Who knew? Thatcher would be proud.

 

[PATX]

Yeah, it's all going to be great.





In related news, some assclown Fox pundit/judge with a very low forehead, was going on about privatizing the roads here in order to achieve better service through competition. I swear he was doing it to get attention.

Fingers crossed the new owners aren't also complete idiots.
