Scousers will always be diamonds. Which ever part of the. World we live mate

Have to agree to certain extent, but I still love my home City and I’m lucky I get to work there a couple of times a week..

I miss myself home town. It was full of fun and life. I didn't even recognise parts because they have ripped it down 😥😥😥

Thanks lad

I cry and dream of the 70’s all the time. I wish I could be transformed back to this era, if only for a day. Where did the good times go? Oh dear!!

Nostalgia myopia. I was there, it was tatty and in decline. Only LFC guaranteed some joy.

Cherry Blossom' that made me laugh, to young to remember the actual guy but knew what you meant ;)

I used to be at Canning place fire station and regularly used to see ol "cherry" around Paradise St, Hanover st. In the summer it used to run down his face, like something from a horror movie, Wished I'd had a camera, you wouldn't have believed it !!! Still he never harmed anyone or caused any problems I was aware of.

100% Then Politicians realized there's copious amounts of money to be made with the by products of drugs.............. Then your City spirals into Decline Any Questions ?..............................................

Not in our house.

Mobile phones and Internet cause problems only when used for the wrong reasons, Bobby Williams, just like some adult television programmes and indecent magazines caused problems before the invention of the Internet. If not for the Internet, you would not be watching this on your computer ot mobile phone. Asvod the assertion that there was a lot less crime then, people who lived in that area during that time always said that crime statistics had risen from the decade before. Every generation says that the times that they are living in are the most dangerous and, as the times progress, say that the times that they criticised before were the safest.

Drugs,

Ah, found a clip...the old power station was pulled down in the early to mid 90's. The drydock basin is still there though.

Clarence dock Power station. I watched the chimneys being demolished in the 1990s from across the water at Seacombe.

Well spotted. :-)

My old mate used to practice sword fencing at the YMCA on Brownlow Hill. "Purple Aki" took a shine to him and used to follow him round town, and once asked to "feel his muscles" at a bus stop. He was almost like an "urban myth" amongst young people back then, kind of like Freddie Kruger.... only I saw him myself a number of times stalking church street. Deeply weird... wonder where he is now? After chasing that young lad to his death at New Brighton train station. As for Slingertit... he completely passed me by, never heard of him.

There was purple aki.....weasel and happy talk....

@@justmeand62 I remember "Cherry Blossom" walking around town. A feller with "issues" who I'd guess had thinning hair on top.. so to cover it up he used to slather boot polish over his head. Bad enough to start with but when he walked around town in the heat of summer, good GOD !!! He looked like the worst "horror clown" you could imagine.

@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 hilarious

ILL Buy that for a Dollar ;)

ace crusader stop the madness. Be nice!!

@@padmasalam5267 Tell that to the people of Muslim countries in the Middle East , when the Islamic State was trying to Establish there Caliphate !! Yer thought NOT................................ A caliphate (Arabic: خِلَافَة khilāfah) is an Islamic state under the leadership of an Islamic steward with the title of caliph (/ˈkælɪf, ˈkeɪ-/; Arabic: خَلِيْفَة khalīfah, About this soundpronunciation (help·info)), a person considered a political-religious successor to the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a leader of the entire ummah (community).[1] Historically, the caliphates were polities based in Islam which developed into multi-ethnic trans-national empires.[2] During the medieval period, three major caliphates succeeded each other: the Rashidun Caliphate (632-661), the Umayyad Caliphate (661-750) and the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258). In the fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, the rulers of the Ottoman Empire claimed caliphal authority from 1517. During the history of Islam, a few other Muslim states, almost all hereditary monarchies, have claimed to be caliphates.[1] Prior to the rise of Muhammad and the unification of the tribes of Arabia under Islam, Arabs followed a pre-Islamic Arab polytheism, lived as self-governing sedentary and nomadic communities, and often raided their neighbouring tribes.[3][4] Following the early Muslim conquests of the Arabian Peninsula, the region became unified and most of the tribes adopted Islam.[4] The first caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, was established immediately after Muhammad's death in 632.[5] The four Rashidun caliphs, who directly succeeded Muhammad as leaders of the Muslim community, were chosen through shura, a process of community consultation that some consider to be an early form of Islamic democracy.[6] The fourth caliph, Ali, who, unlike the prior three, was from the same clan as Muhammad (Banu Hashim), is considered by Shia Muslims to be the first rightful caliph and Imam after Muhammad.[7] Ali reigned during the First Fitna (656-661), a civil war between supporters of Ali and supporters of the assassinated previous caliph, Uthman, from Banu Umayya, as well as rebels in Egypt; the war led to the establishment of the Umayyad Caliphate under Muawiyah I in 661. The second caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, was ruled by Banu Umayya, a Meccan clan descended from Umayya ibn Abd Shams. The caliphate continued the Arab conquests, incorporating the Caucasus, Transoxiana, Sindh, the Maghreb and the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) into the Muslim world. The caliphate had considerable acceptance of the Christians within its territory, necessitated by their large numbers, especially in the region of Syria.[8][9][10] Following the Abbasid Revolution from 746-750, which primarily arose from non-Arab Muslim disenfranchisement, the Abbasid Caliphate was established in 750. The third caliphate, the Abbasid Caliphate was ruled by the Abbasids, a dynasty of Meccan origin which descended from Hashim, a great-grandfather of Muhammad, making them part of Banu Hashim, via Abbas, an uncle of Muhammad, hence the name. Caliph al-Mansur founded its second capital of Baghdad in 762 which became a major scientific, cultural and art centre, as did the territory as a whole during a period known as the Islamic Golden Age. From the 10th century, Abbasid rule became confined to an area around Baghdad. From 945 to 1157, the Abbasid Caliphate came under Buyid and then Seljuq military control. In 1250, a non-Arab army created by the Abbasids called the Mamluks came to power in Egypt. In 1258, the Mongol Empire sacked Baghdad, ending the Abbasid Caliphate, and in 1261 the Mamluks in Egypt re-established the Abbasid Caliphate in Cairo. Though lacking in political power, the Abbasid dynasty continued to claim authority in religious matters until the Ottoman conquest of Mamluk Egypt in 1517.[11] The fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, was established after their conquest of Mamluk Egypt in 1517. The conquest gave the Ottomans control over the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, previously controlled by the Mamluks. The Ottomans gradually came to be viewed as the de facto leaders and representatives of the Muslim world.[12] In the Indian subcontinent, dominant powers such as the Delhi Sultanate's Alauddin Khilji, Mughal Empire's sixth ruler Aurangzeb, and Mysore's kings Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan have been generally heralded as few of the Indian caliphs ever existed, due to their establishments of Islamic laws throughout South Asia.[13][14][15][16] Following their defeat in World War I, their empire was partitioned by the United Kingdom and French Third Republic. The first President of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, led the Turkish National Movement, which resisted the mainland Turkey's partition among the victorious Allied powers. Establishing a provisional government in the present-day Turkish capital Ankara, he defeated the forces sent by the Allies, thus emerging victorious from what was later referred to as the Turkish War of Independence. After the proclamation of the republic on 29 October 1923, as part of his reforms, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey constitutionally abolished the institution of the caliphate on 3 March 1924.[17] A few other states that existed through history have called themselves caliphates, including the Isma'ili Fatimid Caliphate in Northeast Africa (909-1171), the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba in Iberia (929-1031), the Berber Almohad Caliphate in Morocco (1121-1269) and the Fula Sokoto Caliphate in present-day northern Nigeria (1804-1903). The Sunni branch of Islam stipulates that, as a head of state, a caliph may come to power in one of four ways: either through an election, through nomination, through a selection by a committee, or by force.[18] A number of followers of Shia Islam, however, believe a caliph should be an Imam chosen by God from the Ahl al-Bayt (the "People of the House", referring to Muhammad's family).[citation needed] In the early 21st century, following the failure of the Arab Spring and defeat of the self-proclaimed "Islamic State", there has seen "a broad mainstream embrace of a collective Muslim identity" by young Muslims and the appeal of a caliphate as a "idealized future Muslim state" has grown ever stronger.

On the contrary, interesting and appealing music. An intelligent choice, rather than crap popular stuff
