Did you take any pics while you was england?
Yes, but with a crappy film camera. I didn't get a digital camera until last year, I was late to the party dammit! :bash: That and about 3 full videotapes.

That looks like my avatar :)
wow, that's a beautiful photo of the tower, love the fog and the tram wred in the foreground
I honestly do not understand why people ever got excited over these projects along the Mersey. Obviously I do not object to skyscrapers - I would not be here, but these U/C's are so very dire by design, such buildings belong to Manchester or Birmingham. The best the wonderful city of Liverpool can hope for is taller buildings that would stand in the view.
I would love to spend a couple of months travelling around Britain, there are so many places I've never visited, and never even thought of visiting before I found this thread. It's a shame we don't have great summers (apart from the odd one here and there, at least that is the case up this way), the dull weather sends you in to the nearest travel agent... pity considering we have such beauty on our doorstep.

Great thread, eddy. :)
What you on about....There are some top Buildings in there!

And anyhoo....why not...that greek guy did it!

In 2005 a panther-like animal jumped on a man in his garden in South London. The only way this was confirmed was that when he called the police they saw it too:

Keep in mind that there are no native animals with this footprint.


Taken in Battle Woods, Hastings

Over the years there have been cats killed :-
1989 - In Shropshire a Jungle Cat was fatally injured in a road crash
1988 - In Devon a Leopard Cat was shot
1988 - In Hampshire a Swamp Cat was killed crossing a road
1987 - On the Isle of Wight a Leopard Cat was shot

Other evidence:

No native animal is capable of this:
