Liverpool - anybody live there?

[Tilda]

So basically, this is a begging thread.
I'm in Liverpool on friday for a conference, I have to arrive on thursday to make the registration. I had made accommodation plans, but they've fallen through in the last minute.
Does anybody have a sofa I can crash on from about 10 on thursday night, till 7:30 on friday morning?
Obviously offer a bottle of wine or something if anybody's able to help.

Scouse maybe?

[Fweddy]

Correct

Used to live on t' Wirral - never actually lived the correct side of the Mersey.

Had many a great night out in Liverpool tho.

And you call yourself "Scouse". Ha! Even I've actually lived in Liverpool (Aigburth).

I was still at Uni when I joined BW. Despite my protestations everyone called me Scouse. I was so used to it at the time I needed a name for t'internet. So I used it.

I've lost most of the scouse accent but it's still there a bit. Along with a bit of yorkshire from ten years in Bradford. I refuse to pick up the Nottingham accent tho. It's a bit crap me duck

I may end up over Liverpool way again in the next few years...

I got a spare bed here in Norway, if that helps!

Despite being the wrong side of the Mersey I could still get to Anfield in 14 minutes by car from where I used to live

I'm under police orders not to let anyone sleep at my place, sorry

I lived in Manchester for a lot longer. As you well know. I see your 14 minutes by car Scouse, and raise you 10 minutes to Old Trafford on foot.

Bit of a long walk to get to the toilet?

Only once the police had recovered it...

 

[Chilly]

Why would anyone live in Liverpool?

Free disability benefits for all

You met merseyside police? Chances are they'd be the ones that stole it.*

Why would anyone live in Liverpool?

Because it's much nicer than the next nearest big city. Had this independently confirmed too - a mate lived in Manchester and Liverpool - for 4 years and 3 years respectively.

Despite living in one of the worst bits of Liverpool he enjoyed it "a hundred times more" (direct quote) - because the city has a much better vibe to it.



*Actually quite serious there. Merseyside police are bent bent bent.

Cheap wheel sets I heard.

Bollocks. Manchester is much more fun than Liverpool, always has been. I'd certainly live in Manchester again, not a chance I'd live in Liverpool.

Quite a north south divide on this forum.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Build a wall I say

 

[old.user4556]

Where? North of Highgate?

 

[Moriath]

[old.user4556]

Yeah, from Jafaican to northern.

 

[Mabs]

A wall filled with water doesn't seem too safe in the long run.

They already did that, it's called the M25.
