Red Arrows flypast for Three Queens
 
Three Queens Liverpool 2015: Red Arrows to mark celebrations with spectacular fly-past - Liverpool Echo

Danny42C 22nd May 2015 21:16

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.

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).

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

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

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 :)

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!

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!

Wander00 24th May 2015 11:00

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?

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 24th May 2015 19:38

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

Fortissimo 25th May 2015 08:59

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.

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

Courtney Mil 25th May 2015 15:57

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


Hangarshuffle is an entire beano
