Art Blob May 16th, 2005, 02:38 PM Hello forum people
I am a newbie and rather rudely, I am after some information... Does anyone have any contact details or web address details for Frensons the Landlords/developers in Liverpool.
Regards
The Blob

liverpolitan May 16th, 2005, 11:56 PM Sorry Blob, no idea. But, you should stick around anyway - I have a dream that one day people who are interested in art will outnumber people who are interested in football here, and in the world at large, and one day Anfield will be sold to a giant art conglomerate and become an installation.
What do you think about the loss of Tracey Emin's "Dead Footballer or Dead Horse - They Are All The Same In My Shagging Tent" (1997) in that dreadful fire?
liverpolitan May 17th, 2005, 12:00 AM Okay, well being practical, maybe this is them? If you type in "Frenson" and "Frensons" and "Liverpool" into google you will probably find them. I assume the "Grambier" Terrace they refer to is actually "Gambier".

My art interests lie in sprayed murals on walls not tents... soz... LOL
liverpolitan May 18th, 2005, 12:25 AM Blob, you are a lurking artist in residence! I love it. In my town, murals are considered a serious crime committed by anti-social youngsters, but personally I love 'em.

Can we get this artistic thread sorted. Art is short for Arthur, isn't it?

Are you interested in Frensons due to the Banksy type stencil artwork that is subtlty located around derelict buildings. Some of them are really good. Or are you going to do some artwork yourself on some of frensons derelict sites, to brighten them up a bit until they are regenerated.
This is an idea of what Banksy does Banksy (http://www.banksy.co.uk/menu.html) (hint click on the page number for more pictures)

Bingo!!! I am writing a report on Cultural Policy in Liverpool on Graffiti and according to everyone I speak to on the Council, there is no such thing!!! EXCUSE ME... what about the HUB fest. and Banksy et al being given free reign to add pieces on certain buildings... so I am trying to make contact with Frensons as they are the landlords of most of these buildings!!!!

Art Blob May 18th, 2005, 01:50 AM Thanks guys... this forum is so full of nice people, may hang around for a while to discuss other great things such as football and fishing!

In that case Art, welcome to the Liverpool Forum.

If you want to talk fish, we do have a HARRY RAMSDONS along the dock road.
The fish are enormous but sadly not caught in the Mersey :)

Ah Harry Ramsdons, but surely thats not the best Chippy in Liverpool!?!
:cheers:
JUXTAPOL May 20th, 2005, 08:13 PM Ah Harry Ramsdons, but surely thats not the best Chippy in Liverpool!?!
:cheers:
Possibly not the best chippy, one on Rose lane near the bridge has been in the past, don't know current holder, but i do like a Harry Ramsdon's now and then, Parsley cake and chips, nyummm nyumm. :)
liverpolitan May 25th, 2005, 10:53 PM Art Blob, where have you gone to? Are you lurking there? Maybe you are creating a mural somewhere?
We need an active arts thread that can keep the Forum alive during Football events. To me, football is as important and exciting as netball or sumo wrestling - ie not at all. It leaves me cold the way a boring meeting at work does (an early afternoon one where I have to stick pins in my hand to stay awake). Liverpool can be a great and important city without football, in my humble opinion, and I think that part of its recovery as a city will be less dependence upon football as a form of communality.
I know it matters to some people, and I respect that.
But, I think an "arts and culture" thread would be good to keep going during times when people who think they like football, or think that they should like it, or really like it, are busy with those things.
Are you fond of the music of Arvo Part?

liverpolitan May 26th, 2005, 02:00 AM :weirdo:
Well bunnyboy, your post throws light on the problem. It's not weird, it's different. You have much to learn. Post as much shite as you like, but the city will become more diverse - that means full of different ideas - and not everyone will like the same thing.
Scarecrow May 26th, 2005, 02:03 AM I was referring to your last comment. :)
Scarecrow May 26th, 2005, 02:08 AM Football is an art as much as painting, creative writing or poncing about on a stage in spandex ta. Either start a Creative arts (but not including physical excersion)' Thread or stop dicking around on the biggest night this (city [I am blue BTW) has seen for 20 years, or since the last time you set foot here...] has seen in living memory.

But what a great lift and world wide media attention will be brought onto the city of Liverpool now. All absolutely positive. I'm not a football supporter who goes to matches, or talks about football at work, but i'm absolutely delighted at the behaviour and entertainment of Liverpool people in Turkey. This win will just add to the regeneration of the city :cheers:

Yeah, shut up Liverpolitan. ;)
Art Blob May 26th, 2005, 05:08 PM Sorry been busy, whats all the aggro on the above threads, though this site was above all that!

Er, what aggro? :?

To Juxtapol:
Couldn't agree more, in the paper it said some figure like £45m this evening. It's better to have a great football team or two than a crap one or two. Who could argue against that? Lots of very successful and economically and culturally powerful cities have also had great football teams - Munich, Barcelona, Milan....and Liverpool is up there with the best of them. I'd be just as pleased if Everton or Tranmere won something. And I agree - but it's hardly a surprise - that Liverpool people were great ambassadors for their city and their sportmanship and good humour in Istambul and in Liverpool has been shown all the world. A great advert for the city and its people. I wasn't trying to downplay the importance of the event, or piss on it, it's great.
But in this free country of ours there is no crime in seeking to discuss an Estonian conductor because you find football boring. I also know some people who dont really find football interesting at all, but just join in for a laugh or because they think its a way of fitting in. Some women do that, in a ladette kind of way, they dont really care about the game at all. I dont feel any need to pretend to like something I think of as extremely tedious. I used to work with two tennis-obsessed lesbians, and during Wimbledon work actually stopped in the office as a TV was plugged in, and the entire office was expected to somehow join in their fancying of Martina and joy if she won. But I hate tennis more than I hate football, so I was called a misery guts because I just wanted to carry on with my work.
To Art Blob:
There is no aggro I am aware of, but bunny has denounced me and my ideas before, using the "shite" word, so I was just joshing in kind.
To Gareth:
No! There is free speech in this world, and nothing is sacred. Nothing. Not even god, and not football either. I've not ventured onto a football thread, or been anything other than respectful of others interests, so I don't think you have any case at all for telling me to shut it. You could always do what I do when I think someone has posted a load of annoying nonsense on the Liverpool forum (which does happen now and then), I ignore it.
Blabbernsmoke May 26th, 2005, 10:16 PM :rofl:
Scarecrow May 27th, 2005, 09:41 AM denounced me and my ideas before, using the "shite" word
Where was that then? If it was your idea to build a conference shed over St Johns Gardens, then yes., I have denounced your idea, once. If not, then please explain because I'm intrigued now...
liverpolitan May 27th, 2005, 12:42 PM It wasn't a "shed", it was a Greco-Roman temple thing, much more classy than a shed.
Scarecrow May 27th, 2005, 01:01 PM Its all part of life's rich pageant...

What are you going on about?
liverpolitan May 27th, 2005, 04:15 PM I can't remember now Gareth, but it made a lot of sense at the time. I think it was probably a reaction to your "shut it" post, but the change in the weather makes it seem like a lifetime ago. I don't know what it's like up there today, but here it's hot and sunny. You need to be logging on more often, Gareth, this 'replying the next day' thing is no good at all as people won't always remember what they meant, especially we older posters who have suffered more brain-cell loss than the younger ones (don't brain cell deaths outnumber new cells when you get to 24?).
Incidentally, in The Guardian today there is a great photo of St Georges Hall with a big crowd of people around it, I think it must have been taken from the Beacon.
Gareth May 27th, 2005, 04:17 PM I was messing about with you, hence the winky smiley.

I log on daily as I can't keep up if I spend more than that amount of time away. It wasn't always like this of course. When I first joined we had good days and many slow days. I can't remember the last slow day.
liverpolitan May 27th, 2005, 04:22 PM Oh okay well maybe I will put my glasses on a bit more often - everything on this site is very small and those winky things are just tiny. Also, they are blue on a blue background, I might have noticed a yellow one.
There seem to be at least a dozen regular posters at the moment, but not Art Blob, who has gone quiet again on his own thread! Where are you Art Blob? Have you tracked down your mural company yet?

Cheers Poli
Art Blob June 21st, 2005, 10:03 PM Ooops sorry slipped of the radar there... got all the info I needed... report handed in... so whats happening with you crazy cats?
Scarecrow June 21st, 2005, 10:30 PM Not much. Had a bit of a war with the Mancs, but apart from that it's the same old, same old...
liverpolitan June 21st, 2005, 10:53 PM Welcome back Art Blob. There has been no art or culture here, it's been a nightmare. All football, and low-iq deranged and bored kids from "another town" posting "statistics" here. Apparantly we are the smallest town in the universe, and "another town" is the biggest and most important one in the the universe. That would all be good fun, except they believe it.
Anyway, what was your conclusion, by the way, and did the people who read your report decide grafitti is now cool?
There has been some tut tutting here recently because that ridiculous and ugly statue of Queen Victoria outside the crown court has a bit of foolish scribbling on it, but quite frankly it's a foolish statue of a foolish fat old bag and I don't care. In fact they should blow that statue up, or......in another decade or two when the Chinese are a bit richer, just sell it to some provincial city in China that doesn't know any better, the way London Bridge was sold to the Americans. I bet some place we've never heard of will pay a million quid for that in 20 years. That would pay for a free pint of beer or voucher of equivalent value for everyone resident in the city, or more.
Blobby, since you've been looking around at things, can I ask you this? If you had to choose a single place in the centre of Liverpool you regard as special in some way, what would it be, and why?
