If you have a blue tick you're paying for a free service. If you pay for a free service, and it isn't a charity then you're not some badass bro you're a bum.

Very cool to see a building that does a mostly-glass exterior so nicely.

Oriel Chambers, Water Street, Liverpool was completed in 1864 and is often overlooked but its significance is immense. Designed by local architect Peter Ellis, it was a radical departure from the heavy, load-bearing masonry of its time. With its pioneering use of an iron frame and huge projecting bay windows (the "oriels"), it maximised natural light and space – a true precursor to modern curtain-wall construction and the skyscrapers we see today.

@ADixonMusic to sum up the matter and answer your questions (and satisfy my own curiosity), apparently there are (have been) a few Royal Irises... The Beatles' one,which is in London,seems to be n. 3 🤯 Like you,I had heard about the one retiring now and was a bit puzzled

@LiverpoolVista The 'original' was built in 1906 and won the name Royal Iris in 1918. This boat in the video is the third Royal Iris. Probably the most popular but not the 'original' by any stretch.

@alexanderrX_ Ah, but if you only waited till the moon was in the fourth quadrant and sacrified a chicken with a silver sickle under a Rowan tree whilst reciting the lyrics to 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogy' then you'd be sure to shave at least a fiver off.

so apparently it’s my fault the trains are expensive. I should have: > booked 6 months in advanced > chose a cheaper train that gets me in at 1am > get multiple journey tickets instead of direct ok thanks. definitely not a problem here…

As we say goodbye to the Royal Iris of the Mersey, our thoughts turn to the original 'Grand Lady' still sitting on the Thames. It’s heartbreaking to see her derelict, but her spirit lives on in the thousands of memories she gave to the people of Liverpool and Wirral. From the famous 'Fish and Chip' cruises to the Merseybeat parties, she was the heart of the river. Did you ever sail on the original Royal Iris? Share your favourite memories or photos below! 👇

@mackin_john Rescued is a bit of an odd word considering that Walker built the pub and displayed his own paintings in it.

@Virlylestarina As much as i love the look of real slate, the weight and repairs from cracked slate after hail is something i would hate to deal with. I would rather get a metal roof that looks like slate instread.

What do you think of this person's roof? Is it aesthetically pleasing?

@Virlylestarina I like how the guide tool sticks in the roof simple yet really useful

@Virlylestarina I think copper in the valleys would be a cool contrast as it patinas into green. What actually wears out in this style roof?

I see shopfronts are 'doing numbers' (do they still say that?) Here are some REAL ones i've worked on over the last few years. It's a lot of work with private owners and working with individual buildings rather than just a generic copy/paste approach helps maintain character.

One of the few things that makes the utter penury of archaeology worthwhile is the privileged access to private areas of buildings. I was recently allowed into the 1430s arch-braced roof space which was once visible from the hall of the George Inn at Norton St Philip (Somerset).

A few weeks ago an ad for Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High popped up on my personal Facebook page. So I went. So you wouldn’t have to. I have no problem with spendy restaurants. It just has to be worth it. ft.com/content/40a07c…

So... the council listing Colette Goulding as an alternate for the committee was an error, and sitting with the public and not contributing counts towards her attendance record. TLDR: Goulding keeps her seat for another six months. That's £7,000 of councillor allowance...

@TourGuideLiverp @fesshole Yeah. It is a council thing in Aus. Whether on your property or the verge (nature strip) there’s usually rules of times and placement. Arseh0le agents always push the limits knowing enforcement is usually slack, all so their ugly mugs get free billboard time for longer.

Had our drive done. The guy who did it left an ad board at the front to show it off. After 9 months I moved it. Three months later, the guy's just been round asking if his team had picked it up. "Well it's not here" I said. And it's not. I took it went to the tip two weeks ago.

@c0n_AU @fesshole This seems to be a private matter between you and the estate agent. Not the Councils responsibility.
