    Well chaps I am in the unfortunate position of having to visit your fine city on monday to get my passport renewed..

    This will mean i have for hours to kill... The place is on old hall st L3 post code area... Any recommendations as to what i can do for four hours whilst in the city of culture??

    Was thinking perhaps a ferry ride along the mersey, and getting my photo taken outside the cavern club though clearly i have no idea where that is.. also can members of the liverpool community be trusted with my phone enabling them to take a ohoto of me.. ??

    Any other exciting things i could do will be considered.... Other than visiting Anfield before anyone makes that suggestion..

    Thoughts??

    Its pissing down sweats,so go on a pub crawl.

    Or jump a cab up to Anfield and visit the CL trophy Utd won in 99.

    Or go on a Ferry cruise.

    :grin:

    Just walk round Church St wearing your tablecloth shouting "**** you, Scousers" at the top of your voice.
    I recommend this course of action for all visiting Mancs.

    Yes but it's in ****ing Wales FFS!!!!

    Who in their right mind would willingly go there?

    The only time I have to is when I can't get a flight from Bristol and have to travel right though Cardiff (the only city in the UK without street signs)

    Been to newport before as this has happened to me before in 2002.. day before i was due to fly to Crete with the Mrs my dad rings me at work and tells me my passport has expired.. I thought he was winding me up.. He wasn't.. I worked in Birmingham at the time and used the train to get to work... I found out at 11am... Had to borrow a car off one of the women i worked with as had to have my application in with the passport office before 2pm.. the journey from brum is 2 hrs.. Borrowed a bmw 328i tanked it there averaging 110mph made it to the passort office at 1:45 only to find there photo booth was broke so had to go out the building to get photos done in a pharmacy.. thinking ahead I bought a Vicks nasal inhaler.. Got back upto the pasport office at 2:10.. having put vicks in my eyes so i appeared to be in floods of tears... pleaded with the woman on the counter that i was in fact getting married on holiday and begged that they tried to do it the same day even though i was 15 mins late submitting it for the same day service...

    I then spent a nervous 3 hours sat in O'neils waiting for the call to see if they did process itt the same day.... They did.. all the drunks in boozer cheered when i got the call it had been done..

    True story <ok>

    This, on the other hand, is not a true story as the M4 sails right past Cardiff without going close and the airport is miles away from the city.
