  1. Ah gotcha, so a business model based in one city for three weeks per year. Instant fail. Tbh, the AirBnB thing during the fringe isn’t the same as everywhere else all year round. Edinburgh folk have been renting out their homes (the ones they live in for the other 48 weeks) for that month for decades, rent out house for 4 weeks, pays for them to go and be tourists in someone else’s town. The fringe literally wouldn’t exist without all that.
  2. Loads of luggage storage places in Liverpool on top of the one that’s in every city with a mainline station (though we tend to reserve that one for neo-nazis ) £5 a bag seems to be the going rate. It’s not all about Air BnB though. Particularly for the match tourists because they’ll often fly in for a Sunday match for example on a Saturday, stay Sat Night, check out of hotel (which may not be central) dump bags in luggage storage gaff, go drinking, go to the match head back to the city centre get bags and go to the airport. There’s also enough of these places that there must be some profit in it otherwise there wouldn’t be as many as there are. For most of them it’s just a sideline
  3. The Brutalist Library was a masterpiece of modern architecture
  4. Birmingham likes demolishing Brutalism
  5. Knees up Mother Love Me Do
  6. Yes, very good. You should try BC Camplight. Not totally the same but it might be up your street
  7. Quite happy to supply fuel / bottle / rag
  8. The missus has just bought us 2 tickets for Mick Head and the Red Elastic Band at the Philharmonic in Liverpool for December. Front row of the circle so great seats. But… December Ffs!
  9. Still absolutely nothing to do with Rangers and Hearts though, at the time we took on claret and blue neither of those two Scottish teams had won anything and again Ramsay had moved to Brum before either was formed. I have no idea about where it did originate from but it makes more sense that it was McGregor as the kits and other stuff were often stored in his shop (to stop it being seized by bailiffs over unpaid tax) and he was a draper so the material for the kits may well have come from him but that’s pure speculation on my behalf
  10. Wait until it’s £5 for 5 mins and £10 for 5 mins 1 sec
  11. I'm worried that bearded aliens from the shires have invaded my house
  12. On top of what @Seat68said, it’s a wacky poll where 3 % polled absolutely know they'll change their mind in ten months
  13. McGregor moved to Brum in 1870 and he was from Perthshire
  14. Surely it would only be AS if he was actually Jewish, it’s more likely to be an AC attack
  15. Not true, just a popular rumour. We’ve played in claret and blue longer than the Barton’s has been standing
  16. Then on the other side they ripped when they do pass it on and it turns out to be bollocks
  17. The huge majority they are going to get has worried me for some considerable time, we have absolutely no chance of changing the electoral system for the better whilst these huge majorities occur
  18. Well Cher did have a top ten album with It’s A Mans World and a top ten single with One by One Oh yeah and that tune Oasis literally stole from them (and credited it after a long fight - see below) But the Real People’s lack of commercial success is more down to the Griffith brothers being a pair of scalls who were always falling out with everyone including themselves, record companies, managers and of course drugs. They haven’t changed and never will, still going. What I’m talking about aren’t secrets it’s just two sets of muso scall brothers one explains to the other how they write songs
  19. 50Gb a month is 99p on icloud. lose your phone you've lost the lot
