Three Queens Liverpool 2015: Red Arrows to mark celebrations with spectacular fly-past - Liverpool Echo (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/red-arrows-three-queens-liverpool-9309600)

I read:

"Between noon and 2pm the Three Queens are set to sail from the mouth of the Mersey towards the ECHO Arena and, depending on the weather conditions, perform a series of incredible manoeuvres".

Should be worth seeing ! (do Cunard's insurers know ?)

As an old Scouse, I would've thought that they'd at least mark the Liver Building on their map ! :confused:

ISTR some suggestion that Liverpool was making use of public money to compete less than fairly with the commercially funded Southampton cruise terminal.

[Hangarshuffle]

WTF the whole red arrows jamboree with its RAF officer paylist is an entire public sector beano, make a British Leyland shop steward blush....they do nothing except red arrow circus...least BL made er metros...(good seller).

[Wander00]

Not the Reds I was complaining about - hope to see them at Tours in a couple of weeks - but the apparent skewing of the financing of the two cruise terminals

[david parry]

Arrows overhead now 1225....Crewe railway station heading West;)

[david parry]

Also that the Pool is a better run ashore than Southhampton;)

I'd have thought the Cunard building :)

Glad to see Liverpool has supported industry and is growing the cruise business. Lots and lots of tourist spend has to be a good thing.

Maybe they could offer a cruise excursion to Anfield for a game. Maybe 100 quid for a box seat and champagne. Same thing at Goodison for a tenner :)

[Wander00]

The three cruise ships looked good in Southampton Water. I follow Queen Victoria closely, having been a guest at the naming celebrations. I had never been on a cruise ship before and I was staggered by the size of the ship and the internal layout and facilities. Narrowly avoided Prescott and Livingstone!

[Ormeside28]

Brilliant display here in Llandudno this afternoon by the Red Arrows. Much appreciated by many thousands of visitors and locals. Thank you chaps, made me feel very proud!

[teeteringhead]

Three Queens??

....thought it meant Auntie Betty, Camilla and Kate ..... :ugh:

or on second thoughts :E:E:E no, let's not go there!

[Wander00]

ad the same thought at the same time - maybe the "Gay Pride" Festival.............

I tried putting that through Google Translate, but it couldn't make any sense of it. It looks like English words, but arranged randomly to no apparent purpose. The closest I could get to any meaning suggested to me that it looked a bit like a Sharkey Ward anti-RAF rant, but even he would have had to stop taking his medication to post something like that.

Can you enlighten us?

[Wander00]

Courtney - how subtly put - I was thinking of something more succinct, that I use for the "Microsoft" spammers who ring 2 or 3 times a week!

[david parry]

Heads up for tomorrow....Also Pie and pint £2 .50 at the Adelphi;) Three Queens Liverpool 2015 live: Cunard birthday spectacular set to wow River Mersey - Liverpool Echo (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/three-queens-liverpool-2015-live-9307040)

[Fortissimo]

Courtney, an elementary mistake, most unlike you!

Try running Google Translate again, only this time go to 'settings' and select the 'Republican', 'Large Chip','Cynical Tw@t' and 'Self-anointed Iconoclast' filters. That should just leave you with an indefinite article which can be identified in any language. It even works in Sharkspeak.

[Wander00]

I just keep imagining Captain of the "lead" ship calling "Smoke on, smoke on, GO!"

[Courtney Mil]

Well, spotted, ff. with the filters on it now reads,

Hangarshuffle is an entire beano

[langleybaston]

it's stream of consciousness stuff, as exemplified by James Joyce in Ulysses.

That was bollocks too.

You'd have to pay more for anfield- lots more goals at Liverpool games. Oh...

Built in France, owned by Yanks and registered in Bermuda what are the Scousers getting excited about?

[david parry]

I was excited along with a million others;)..Three Queens in Liverpool 2015: Over a million people watch river spectacular celebrating Cunard's formation

[Roadster280]

Built in France, owned by Yanks and registered in Bermuda what are the Scousers getting excited about?

Cunard is owned by Carnival Corporation & plc.

It's a joint Anglo-American company, resulting from some large mergers. Principally the P&O and Cunard bits of it.

[storms1962]

3 Queens + 9 Queens = Bloody waste of money:E

[BossEyed]

To distract from the Reds bashing, a quick story:

Two Liverpudlian lasses, languishing around the Liver building. Get talking about their lives.

LL No.1 "My old man works for Cunard".
LL No.2 (offended): "Well, mine's no effin' slouch, either, la".


Calm down, Calm down.

[langleybaston]

that took me a tad too long, but I tried for Cunard and got there.

[Wander00]

May it is better in a scouse accent, but it took me quite a while
