Can't see th picture but I'm guessing it's burst it's banks?

 

Seems to me it's a dry bed.

 

LOL, here I was waiting for the server, then started checking my connection and only then reading the rest of the thread. I could have waited for a long time!:-D

 

Typical Scouse. Someone's nicked it.

So instead, here's a little creek in my backyard.:-D:-D

See that image you have left Ned thats what the Scousers have nicked, like JOTS said ! :-D

 

You do have to watch them poodlians lol
Notice in my pic all the boats are missing from the harbour, you'd think it's cos it's winter..... but I don't know so much :-D

Man we're mean :-D

 

I'd second that lol

Just to see Tony's response when he see's it :-D

 

See that image you have left Ned thats what the Scousers have nicked, like JOTS said !

Rusty, I haven't a clue as to what this means? I thought this was an English speaking forum.:-D:-D

Scousers have nicked????

Another thread about nothing, just like the Seinfield show:-D

 

He is speaking English :-D just English that never made it across the pond lol
You have no idea how many times I've had to explain what I say in North America lol

lol Scousers = Liverpudlians (people from Liverpool)

Nicked = Stolen

 

So the people from Liverpool stole his picture of a river?

And what's wrong with being from Liverpool? Is it full of thieves?:confused

No wonder we broke away from you people.:-D:-D

 

Yep. In fact I was cycling through Liverpool once, stuck my hand out to turn left and someone nicked my watch :-D

 

And if it is nailed down they take the nails as well, and whatever it was nailed to!

No, the scousers have half-inched the river, not the picture!

 

No, the scousers have half-inched the river, not the picture!

When are you people going to learn to speak English??:-D

 

I'm sure Tony's sig should read 'Never put off till tomorrow what you CAN'T put off forever'

As it reads it means do everything you don't want to do which is a kinda crappy philosophy :-D The revised version obviously means if you put it off you'll never do it.

That's all I have to add , Oh yeah Tony has been here for a year and had two attempts at posting a picture on a geek forum and failed both times:-D have at him... :wave

Don't worry Tony I've heard of days like this :-D

Thank you everybody for your observations on the beautiful city of Liverpool and its beautiful (including me) people :wave

 

Sunset on the Mersey?.... Or is that sunrise?

Very Nice, Tony, well worth the wait lol

 

It is beautiful, too bad it got "nicked" earlier.

Why do they call you Scousers? What is the meaning/origin of that? Complimentary/derogatory?:wave

 

If memory serves me correctly, it comes from a dialect found in Liverpool like hundreds of years ago, like Cockney Ryming Slang almost, a language within a language.
I don't know about way back then but Scouser is more derogatory than complimentary. Although much of the time it's meant in a light hearted manner.

We English have 100 countries under 1 roof lol and pretty much anywhere you come from has a different accent/way of life and name. I'm a Norflk Bumpkin lol We have a farmer accent, well I don't but I should by rights lol, go down south and it changes again, midlands different again and the further North you go the closer the accent and habbits get towards Scottish. But I can drive 10 miles and hear an accent change, drive 400 miles and you almost have a different language, but most of us Brits can at least understand them all :-D
We're a funny people lol

 

Here, this is a reasonable representation of the changes in British Dialect.

He's a little off in some but close enough for you to get the jist.

AaarRoit ma Boo.ee, it's very difficult to type a missing T lmao

 

Yeah, I agree. A great, friendly, funny city. Been to Merseyside a few times to watch Newcastle and had a great laugh in the pubs before the game.
Humour and friendlinesss in Liverpool is the best I've come across.
If I offended you in any way, Tony........I couldn't care less :-D
BTW, Scouse is an old word for a stew served to sailors (lobscouse to give it's full name.) Liverpudlians, living in a large port, were given the tag Lobscousers which was eventually abbreviated to Scouser.
Which begs the question: Why is abbreviation such a long word?

 

Thanks J.O.T.S. your disingenuous apology is accepted with my, and the good people of Liverpool’s deep felt appreciation. :kissmy :-D:-D:-D

 

Nice shot there Tony, though lots of fog.

 

mist

 

Nice pic, Tony, but it looks more like a lake, and where are all the buildings? :confused

 

Guess what? Someone's nicked them as well. :-D

 

Okay Tony, the joke's over. You give us back the Mersey, now. People are falling of the jetty and getting concussion. Some 'tea leaf' as just robbed the river bank. LOL

 

I am sorry Tony but i remember Liverpool as a run down seedy sea port, My how things have changed.
On the other hand Hale village was always a beautiful place where the rich and famous lived (which are you?)
I however originate from a run down seedy river crossing Stopford (Stockport) where they have one of the finest football teams in Europe Ha Ha (did i really say that)

I know you live in a beautifull part of the word but that JOTS has a real cheek comparing the north east with the north west other wise known as Ekky thump land.

I came in late on this post because i have been away for a few days but it has the makings of a good inter county rivalry.

 

The picture was taken from Hale shore looking across the river towards the Welsh mountains, it was the sunset and its reflections in the river I was after.
Hows the hubby doing these days?

 

Hi Bill! hows things, have you had your op yet, as for me being rich or famous!! I have riches beyond compare and I am famous for loving people from the north east, apart from one

 

Yep had the op, thats where i have been for the last week,
Been home a couple of days now but to much pain to sit at the PC but it's getting better.

 

Wishing you a full and very quick recovery, Bill. Relax now, easy now.

And I don't compare the NW with the NE......There is no comparison. We are well better

 

I can appreciate the changes that regeneration has made and applaud the city council for stepping up to make the once great city again a wonderful place.

The last time i was in Liverpool was about 20 years ago when i came to get the Dublin ferry, so after that amount of time it is not surprising there have been many changes.

 

The pictures are in tonyhale's profile photo albums... I cannot remember the settings to post from Profile Photo Albums to a post in VB....

The UK is one of the few places in the world where if you walk 10 miles in either direction you can no longer communicate with the people even though they still speak Engrish.

I think that's we had so many civil wars and internal strife,we can't tell what each other is saying. :-D

 

lol Very true.
But you know what, it's what makes us unique.

It's funny, if you think about it the varying dialects simply point to the nations they lead to.

The further north you go the more people start to sound Scottish, the further West the more they sound Welsh....... the further East the more they sound like.....fish? :-D

It's also handy when in conference with other nations who will insist on speaking their own language so as to converse secretly.......we Brits can do that too while still speaking English :-D
