Am I missing summat with this fireworks business? People were bleating like mad on Facebook yesterday about the ticketing system, but it's a ****ing fireworks display. Won't you be able to see the ****ers as long as you get somewhere near?

Well I got tickets because I wanted to be there and be part of the atmosphere as we celebrate the start of our year in the spotlight. The fireworks themselves really aren't the point.

A bit like going to watch City away when it's on telly really.

Is there other stuff on then, apart from the fireworks?

The Albion Street car park is indeed too short for a 50m swimming pool, but if the plan were to ever get the go ahead it was intended to extend the available space by doing away with one side of the dual carriage way, and moving the footpath, on Bond Street.
Of course another explanation is that Geraghty bought his tape measure from the same shop that you bought your calendar from. You know the one, you used it for most of July, and all of August and kept telling all and sundry that the club would be sold in September, in fairness you neglected to mention which September!

I don't know the one at all. Can you explain what you are on about ?
 
Pop round the town at 9.00 on a Sunday morning and you'll realise we have a long way to go.

I like to pop to a beautiful market in York now and again and don't get hassled by scumbags asking for money,spitting in the streets or swearing at each other.

You sound a bit like Hyacinth Bucket there.

At 9 on a Sunday?
Most big Cities don't start anything till 10 or even 11 on a Sunday...because they're designed for partying and hangovers

Someone I know used to work in .Hamburg for a while From Friday until Monday morning there are no licensing hours and bars can open as long as they feel like it. The place in the photo doesn't open until 5.30 am on a Sunday and is open until 9.30am. People go there from their night out to buy fish to take home for the traditionalSunday lunch. There are bands on, beer is sold, food sold. Then they have a thick chocolate drink and go home. It is rammed every Sunday morning, from young kids with their parents to OAPs. Despite all night drinkers going there and carrying on drinking he never saw one little bit of trouble.
Similar things happen in cities all over Europe. Unfortunately it wouldn't be possible here, even if the police and licensing authorities allowed it and didn't consider anywhere open after 11pm was a late night venue as it would be carnage because of a lot of people's approach to drinking.
