      41 Reasons Liverpool Is The Absolute Worst
      Apr 11, 2015 03:29:22 pm
      1. Just look at the totally unromantic skyline.


      2. And here’s some boring architecture that you don’t want to stare at for hours on end.


      3. Nope. No stunning buildings anywhere.


      4. And there’s no cool modern architecture either.


      5. What about the fact it doesn’t just have one cathedral…


      6. … which is equally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on the inside…


      7. … but also another one. Now that’s just showing off.


      8. And as for the Albert Dock?


      9. I mean, what an extraordinarily ugly place.


      10. You call this a library?


      11. And why is Liverpool so proud of these guys?


      12. Like really proud. It just means the city is full of awful graffiti like this.


      13. And historic venues like this. Yawn.


      14. The Liverpool Tate is an absolute snoozefest.


      15. And the street art is totally normal.


      16. Absolutely nothing to see here.


      17. Seriously. Nothing.


      18. There are no theatres.


      19. And no music venues.


      20. Capital of Culture? ;D.


      21. A park? Yeah. I guess it’s got one.


      22. And a beach with incredible statues. But aren’t these everywhere?


      23. The train station is utterly underwhelming.


      24. And it looks terrible as the sun is setting.


      25. Apparently two big football teams are from there. And?


      26. The city also hosts a race of some kind. Never heard of it, tbh.


      27. The birthday parties it throws are pretty low-key.


      28. The traditional dish of the city is just a rubbish bowl of hearty goodness.


      29. And if you don’t like Scouse, I guess you could force yourself to go to Chinatown.


      30. Or a restaurant with a really boring view.


      31. But I guess the biggest problem is the people.
      http://ak-hdl.buzzfed.com/static/2015-04/8/6/enhanced/webdr14/enhanced-buzz-wide-30073-1428487394-8.jpg

      32. The warm, funny, strong, proud, welcoming people who genuinely don’t care what you think of them and are nice regardless.


      33. Don’t you just hate cities with loads of hidden gems?


      34. Or iconic, independent shops like 69A.


      35. And I hate a city that looks as good in the sun…


      36. …as it does in the snow.


      37. There’s nothing fun about a bus that rides on water.


      38. You’d have to be a lunatic to like bars with indoor palm trees.


      39. The pubs are almost too pretty.


      40. As are the fountains.


      41. Let’s be honest, that’s Liverpool’s main problem: It knows how gorgeous it really is.

      Well done RP, can you alter the heading on one of the pictures." Apparently 2 big football teams," we all know there is only 1 big football team in the magnificent city of Liverpool.

      Wasnt expecting the City to be as wonderful as it was when I got there.

      Absolutely loved the City and I must admit there was some amazing looking women when I got there, could have stayed in town all day and all night....very easy on the eyes.

      Its' my 3rd favourite City after Amsterdam and Melbourne.

      Yeah that's deffo the Phil (pub not hall, which surprisingly hasn't got a mention) not sure on the palm tree one though, clearly not one of my regular watering holes.

      We're also home to some of the worst statues;













      Not forgetting the horrible image of Queen Dicktoria

      Never had the pleasure of Melbourne but I have heard it is absolutely one of the finest cities in the world. Liverpool has the extremes for me, at it's best it is truly one of the finest places to be but it also has some of the worst. Would be nice if the government actually did something to drag the worse areas up, but of course there's no advantages for them to do that, it'd only help the most disadvantaged, the demographic least likely to vote.

      Mate, give me a hoy when you get hear and we will paint the City Red mate.

      I think all cities are a bit the way you described bud. You have your good areas and your dodgy areas, the dodgy ones are dodgy because there are scumbags in every city running the place down.

      I loved every  minute of Liverpool having spent a weekend there in 2013.

      The city has an alluring buzz about it the Albert Dock and the many restaurants and bars were a fantastic experience. Took the missus for dinner to the Steakhouse place in the dock after the match on a Saturday night and the bars and clubs after it was sensational.
      I left the city with a heavy heart and vowed to return again.

      Same everywhere Luke. Take it from me, I've been to every major city in this country and I wouldn't put any above ours. I love some parts of London but there is no togetherness anywhere there. Birmingham is probably my second favourite but nowhere I have seen beats Liverpool and there is nowhere I have seen that would make me up sticks and leave the Wirral.

      "ours"? You're a F***ing wool lad. Over the water. This city ain't yours. F**k off back to Birkenhead :laugh:

      Back? Am already there you soft tw*t with all of me wool money. Well Saughall Massie actually. Never in my life pretended to be scouse but there's nothing wrong with calling a city less that's than five miles away and that I work in everyday and love my own.

      Classic scouser with a chip on the shoulder talk that Bill.

      Anyway, your wallets safe with me folks ;)

      Love Shoreditch and Camden to go out and about in.

       Lots of other places I like to see but not hang around for too long in.

      Camden is quirky, the Loch and the summertime pubs along the canal are nice.

      Know what I haven't seen half of Camden I don't think. There is a Spoons right by the water there that I like to sit outside for the erm, views.

      Will be heading back there over the Summer so I'll have to do my research so I can explore it a bit more.

      Well it ain't your own lad, it's ours. You know proper Scousers, those born and bred in the city. Not those F***ing johnny come lately's from over the water. We've got enough non-scousers over here without you wools adding to the foreign legion.

      Leave Liverpool Scouse.

      And their wallets are safe with any Scouser, it's when they've got their own wallet and a Scouser is about that it's dangerous :laugh:

      Love the banter with you lad, can't believe the first (or one of the first) times our paths crossed we were having a full on war of words with each other. Ah well, we've moved on from that and it's all a good laugh now.
