UPDATED! EURO S⇧FTUP 2009 now with confirmed location! (British Talk Post)

This.

Once you get to Liverpool St, just get a cab. As there's a few of you, it will probably be cheaper than individual tickets on the Underground and a lot easier than hauling luggage around. It won't cost you a fortune either.

Cantaloupe is a cool bar, Old St is an ok area with some funky little bars around there.

I /should/ be able to make this but no promises as weekends are always a bit hectic. I'll be travelling straight in on the train as it's only a 30min journey to Liverpool St station and then a 5 min walk to Old Street.

There's plenty of places to go around there for very late drinks, especially if you like the *femme kind of things...

It sounds like a lot, but they are 28,80 pounds if you buy them at the station...

Train takes 45 mins to Liverpool Street. There are buses too, but they take ages I think.

The Beatles - I'll follow the sun

kymbos says...

Note to self: never trust Wikipedia.

From the Beatles Bible:

One of Lennon and McCartney's earliest songs, I'll Follow The Sun was written in 1959 at McCartney's family home in Allerton, Liverpool.

"I wrote that in my front parlour in Forthlin Road. I was about 16. I'll Follow The Sun was one of those very early ones. I seem to remember writing it just after I'd had the flu and I had that cigarette - I smoked when I was 16 - the cigarette that's the 'cotton wool' one. You don't smoke while you're ill but after you get better you have a cigarette and it's terrible, it tastes like cotton wool, horrible. I remember standing in the parlour, with my guitar, looking out through the lace curtains of the window, and writing that one."

The greatest goal ever scored?

Deano says...

Now that this has gone top 15(!) let me say why this is a brilliant goal. They build from the back and are under extreme pressure from a very good Liverpool side, one that goes on to win the championship that year.

The goal features two superb headers from Keegan, two one-twos, an overhead kick and sweet control and finish from Channon. It has to be up there with some of the best goals ever scored.

Constantine-lucifer confronts gabriel (spoiler)

budzos says...

Sorry there were no car chases in it for you Ponceleon.

It's not useless to compare them. Pardon me but what an asinine comment. This is far enough from what Hellblazer really is that I don't think it deserves to be called a Constantine movie. There are choices made in the process of adaptation that affect the quality of the outcome.

What is the essential difference between cinematic and comic book storytelling that requires changing the main character from a wise-cracking englishman to a dour american? It certainly doesn't bring anything to the table, from what I can see, apart from allowing Keanu Reeves to play the part, which looking back didn't seem to help the movie, aside from securing a decent budget, which probably worked against it in the end. If any "comic book movie" did not need to be all that visually spectacular, this is the one. Hellblazer should be understated with occasional horrific moments, not big action set pieces like happen every 20 minutes in this fucking movie.

In the comics he chose to mess with magic and it cost him bigtime. That's the essence of his character. Even if he saves the day it will be in a rotten and nasty way because he uses black magic. Having him be chosen as some kind of secret weapon, caught up in a conspiracy against the devil, is typical hollywood horseshit.

Also, come to think of it, I think John would have a Liverpool accent as I think that he only ended up in London as a young man.

Sift and Tell (Talks Talk Post)

rasch187 says...

This http://www.videosift.com/video/Reconstructing-a-famous-photograph-40-years-later is possibly my favourite. I've always loved the photo of Dylan and the kids in Liverpool (1966) and one day I was searching for it on google as I couldn't find it on my hard drive. One of the things that came up was this vid that I had never seen or heard of. Enjoy!

My PQ is rather small, but here's a gem: http://www.videosift.com/video/Travelling-Wilburys-Inside-Out . It's from the second Travelling Wilburys album (jokingly titled "Volume 3"). Super groups often fail, but when you've got George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne (Roy Orbison unfortunatly died right after the first album was released) it's gonna turn out great.

Great idea, AC
