John<br><br>Sue came across the four nations rugby league tournament on the internet so we decided to head across to the west for a weekend of sport. The match we picked was England v's Australia at Wigan. It was about a 3 hour drive and we just got to the game at kick off. <br><br>The game was a bit disappointing from an atmosphere perspective because the Kangaroos carved the Poms up and led 26 nil at half time which resulted in ...

... by the canal. Further up the canal we watched narrow baots coming through the Wharton lock and picked blackberries while we waited.<br>We visited Tattenhall market for some homemade goodies and stopped on the way home for creak tea at Tarporley! Great day.

... for dinner (mum passing on the mushy peas) and were amused to see people sitting outside in the freezing cold weather eating their fish and chips there so they could feed their dog fish and chips at the same time. Mum thought that was totally ridiculous.<br><br>Anyway, we went to bed shortly after that coz it was just too damn cold for anything else really, and thought it best to be rested for the journey the following morning to the Lake District!<br><br>

... Jeff and I were in charge of our 2 children in the middle of a very large crowd! This time there were large queues to get in due to security checks, women dressed up like nothing I have seen before and lots of drunken folk! <br><br>The weather and the racing, however, were great. The children absolutely loved the excitement as did we. Lucy really enjoyed choosing the winner from the colour of the ...

... acts that played there like the Beatles' drum set! There was a guitarist playing that night who played really well! He played Strawberry Fields Forever which made our night! We woke up the next morning for a walking tour of the city. Our guide Tim was great and he showed us the Liver birds on top of the Liver building...how appropriate...and told us about the history of the city. We saw the town hall, the ...

... practically leapt out of the room. Obviously not one for conversation then, I thought. We weren't really watching the T.V. so Carsten kindly got up and offered the remote to the bearded FODM. ...no answer... "Here's the remote if you want it", a little louder this time. ...still the FODM stared blankly at the colourful moving pictures that danced on the wondrous box in the corner. Carsten left the remote on the pool table, and the FODM had not moved when we left the room 10 ...

Leaving London we had no real problems, just a minor delay of the train. The ride went by so fast though, it's a 2 1/2 journey from London to Liverpool and we spent the entire time talking to the guy across from us. A black guy named Miles from London, he told us some of the funniest stories I have ever heard and will never forget , just the kind of person that's so good at telling a story they can paint the perfect pictuer ...

... The second cathedral which looks more modern is actually older when judged by the completion dates. The foundation stone of the Metropolitan Cathedral was laid on June 5th 1933, and the design was intended to contrast with the gothic gem at the other end of Hope Street, which is the road that links both cathedrals. The dream of a cathedral, second only in size to St Peters in Rome, was carried on until 1941 when the war years brought an end to the work. After the ...

... so perhaps I needn&#8217;t be so dismissive. Just because a bogan like me can identify with something doesn&#8217;t mean it can&#8217;t also be regarded as &#8216;culture&#8217; by the more refined set. So while Ali headed out to Albert Dock for the Beatles Story museum, I took off for Anfield Road. <br><br>Liverpool Football Club: A soccer club of monumental proportions, massively successful in English and European competitions, a now glamorous ...
