What Superclubs you got in Liverpool now?

122

051 and Cream have gone but as I said its better to have had than not at all, Liverpool has arguably the best and most varied nightlife in the Country, the Cavern still is going and there are far too many bars to list, what do you like?

And? I can always go into Liverpool when I feel like it, you’re moving to large Basingstoke. Southampton and its the City I love strangely is shit, restaurants? Buildings? Concerts venues? Culture? Hotels? Its gash, its doesn’t stop me defending passionately to an outsider but lets face it its true, its fucking crap.

I just think you’ve forgotten to have a good time, me ol’ mucker.

When I move back down, do you honestly think I’m going to let location dictate the sort of fun I have? I won’t need to travel to a different city to have that fun.

Life is very much what you make it, particularly within the sphere of entertaining yourself. Why do you have such a hard time having a good time?

So where do you go, Bazza?

Where do you “throw shapes in the church of dance”, to quote Spaced?

125

I don’t, I am merely saying Southampton is shite for the City of its size culturally, its offers nothing.

126

So 0, 1 less than Southampton then.

127

When you looking to move back down Papster?

128

Ha Ha no Pap but its adds to the City in so many ways, jobs, tourists and money coming in.
A positive not a negative, it doesn’t matter whether its the Phil or Fly in the Loaf to Alma, Liverpool has it all where as shamefully and sadly our City doesn’t and restaurants? This City has amazing ones and Southampton was euphoric over a nandos.

I think they’re getting you at it Baz, I suspect they all kinda realise deep down that our city isn’t exactly a cultural hubbub.

They’ve a ghoulish facination that comes to the fore, when witnessing someone develop an aneurysm, live online.

Don’t feed the monster Barry

I know I am waiting for Cherts to tell me of a pacha hidden down six dials…

133

Oceana is classed a Superclub.

It fits the definition.

Definitions

noun

  1. a large or important club or society
  2. a very large or superior nightclub, often with several rooms with different themes

So come on Bazza, what’s your definition? With your stellar use of the English language this should be entertaining.

137

Yes, what’s your point? A superclub is just a very large club, which it is (the largest in the UK, or it certainly was).

138

Don’t need one after all Southampton and Dubai are now so close we are almost Sister/Twin Cities

(Yes we are, we’re looking after the QE2 for you so shut up!)

And as a result the Dubai Saints Krew have already made it very clear we are bigger than poorsmuff by turning the Burj Khalifa into Red & White

And Jeez didn’t Eric bloody whinge - obviously we had no budget so had to get him to hang out of one of his A380’s with a sparkler to light all the fuses

139

And when was the last time a superclub advertised come and celebrate your birthday with us adverts?

Cherts a superclub to help you here is something like the Hacienda, Cream, Ministry etc a record label involved not some plastic shite, a superclub? No just some shit.

Hmmm… this is a very strange one for me…

I actually think you’re all being a bit unfair on Barry. That’s a weird feeling.

I think he has a genuine (if poorly argued) point - Southampton is a big city, but has very little in terms of “bring 'em in” attractions. If you were a Johnny Foreigner thinking of taking a holiday in Blighty, you might go to the New Forest, but would anyone come to stay in Southampton City? What is there?

I think the shopping is OK, but there isn’t (at least last time I looked) much of a decent ‘independent shops’ scene - most big cities have something like that. There’s not much choice.

There aren’t any significant landmarks really, except the Bargate (which you can do in approximately 7 minutes), No great architecture, no proper ‘cultural hub’… So some of Barry’s points are valid I reckon.
