Liverpool One
Thursday, May 29th, 2008I’ve been taking a few days off work and needed to go in to Liverpool for a few odds and ends today. I’d forgotten it was Liverpool One’s / The Paradise Projects opening today. Had a quick wander round and wished I’d been quicker because I’d worn my new shoes to break them in a […]
Omid Djalili – Live
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Went to see Omid Djalili at the Liverpool Philarmonic tonight with Kim of the Split Writing Personalities and DarkDwarf. I liked the TV show but it didn’t seem as funny as some of the appearances I’d seen on post water shed TV. The live gig was funnier than the TV show. The Boothby Graffoe, the […]
The Plot Vanishes
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008Prosaic plot twists, stilted dialogue, unbelievable characters, outmoded attitudes and sinister bad guys who are rotten foreigners to boot! No not the latest sequel from Sylvester Stallone but the 1938 Hitchcock classic The Lady Vanishes which I’ve just been to see at the Liverpool Philharmonic an action, comedy thriller from another time. I enjoyed it, […]
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
Friday, February 22nd, 2008Saw The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain at a packed Liverpool Philharmonic tonight. Like Weird Al Yankovich and Bill Bailey they manage to survive in a world in which music and a sense of humour are no longer combined often enough. They are more than competent musicians able to arrange a well known piece from […]
Kodo
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Saw Kodo at the Liverpool Philharmonic and I have to say I had a really good time. I’ve heard their music on CD but it just isn’t the same as feeling the vibration of the big drums run through you. It’s not just about big drums though there were subtler pieces played on shamisen, flute […]

Christmas Ambiance
Thursday, December 20th, 2007Went out with a few friends for a pre Christmas drink in Liverpool tonight. We met in a city centre pub for convenience. We might have stayed there if they hadn’t hired the kind of DJ who finds it hard to mix from one track to the next and tries to cover it up by […]

Why did the Pedestrian (Not) Cross the Road
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007I’ve noticed a lot of the new breed of pedestrian crossing and light controlled junctions appearing across Liverpool recently. They’ve got sensors to see if there is traffic, that the traffic hasn’t blocked the crossing and to check the pedestians are standing at the crossing. They encourage pedestrians to look in the right direction by […]
