To detest most scouse celebrities

[Afroturf]

Cilla Black, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Tarbuck et al - celebrities who take every opportunity to remind us about their days in Scottie Road and all who, coincidentally, moved away from the city years ago.

What fake accents....I have never heard anyone else speak with Cilla Black's particular accent.

And now bloody Les Dennis has reared his head. God, how I've loathed him on Celebrity Masterchef - another one harking back about 'me Mam and Dad in Liverpool'. Fuck off. He was on radio 2 this morning with Rhod Gilbert and, my word, what a fucking name dropping twat. It was embarrassing.

I am not a fan.

Now I must mention that I'm from Liverpool, a city I love and live in today. I can't, however, abide these 'professional scousers' who go on and on about where they're from. Perhaps it's to try and fool us plebs that they are one of us. Again, do fuck off.

I don't want this thread to descend into an anti-Liverpool rant as my city is a very special place but wonder if anyone agrees with me. I think it's probably the fact that they come from the same place as me that I have a particular distain for them. I dare say that slebs from other parts of the UK annoy folk from their neck of the woods too.

Roger McGough for the poet bloke on Going Live?

I loved Neil Buchanan when he did that Saturday morning programme.

My mum threw a fit when I came home with a Birkenhead accent after spending 2 weeks away there. But then we lived in Cheshire dontchaknow. where everyone else had stoke accents

Can someone clarify the women's hospital issue. Both my children were born there. As far as I know it is called "Liverpool women's hospital". But it's too big a mouthful so locals, including me, call it "the Women's" in every day conversation. Surely people aren't complaining about us shortening it to save breath?!

Oh I see, it's been rebranded. (Just had a look at their website). It's a bit daft, that!

Wouldn't call it mawkish though. Just a huge waste of money.

Oh I am getting really angry now. That name change is bloody stupid - just did google image search. Why change the flipping signage on the building. And it doesn't make sense. Liverpool Women's what?!?! Put the missing word back in, for Christ's sake.

But that's just me being a pedant.

I liked Snelly when he was on Radio City doing the breakfast show, I was hi-hoed off to school on a few occasions! I thought Radio Merseyside was for old people so never listened to him after he defected. Are Billy and Wally still going? (Just returned to live here after 10 years away!)

I used to go to Planet X and McMillans as a student early 90s. Class.

My Planet X days were up to about 1988

I think 12 pages' worth proves we are worth talking about

I must have been clubbing with you at the same time Ken. We were class.

I was on a plane to America with Billy Butler once. He was a sod and so was his wife!

I thought I was mint - purple velvet jacket purchased in a vintage shop on Renshaw St . Whenever I hear Been Caught Stealing it reminds me of Planet X .
I worked for Simon O'Brien for a bit, he's a lovely Scouse celebrity .

mrs butlers bloody eldest . He was awful and his producer was the nastiest old man ever. And a sex pest to boot :(
Snelly on the other hand? A genuinely good person. A real hard working family man who really looked after me when I was a newbie there.

Christ I hated that job! But my Grandad was so proud of me :) the landlady of The Dog and Gun used to turn the radio up so he could ear me reading the Asian news on a Sunday shift

And yes, My mum used to piss herself at Hold Your Plums too. I would whine for radio city on.
But Kev Seed? TWAT

I used to listen toJanice Long when she was on Radio Merseyside
(early 1980s?). I quite like Janice Long despite the Peter Powell years as she's a proper music fan so she can go on Acceptable List. Also, Tom Bell was from Liverpool -> AL

Oh yes, Kev Seed was a twat. He used to live in a granny flat in his parents' garden, and had it rigged up like something out of Austin Powers. Proper saddo.

who remembers kev seed?
used to do radio city and also used to do the saturday night djing in a local club[ie outside the city centre]

yes to macmillans-used to love smiths nights in there
and a penny to get in the state on a thursday night.

what about cafe society and flip on bold street??

ha!! cross posts!!

what was the name of the other place off bold street -on the left???

Ha BOF, says it all!

Oh God, yes, Kev 'Seedy by name, seedy by nature' Seed. Hated him but I used to listen to him on a Saturday night DJing from The Paradox. His career went down the toilet when he was done for drink driving.

Now, here's someone who isn't from Liverpool (the Wirral) but has 'broadcast' from the top of the tower for years. Yes, it's motor mouth thick tit wanking twat, Pete Price. Another sycophant that likes the sound of his own voice.

am i thinking of the mardi gras? opposite side of the street to macmillans and sort off the main road? next to a little alley?

Yeah, mardi gras was a big one in my mums era.

The paradox?! Not thought about that for ages, it shut down before I was old enough to get in, but by all accounts was a "meat market"!

Pete Price has a stupid column in the Liverpool Echo now. Idiot.
Where was Athena? Bold Street? I spent hours in there. Had no money though.

My mistake- it was DAVE Seed in the granny shag pad. He used to try and pick up girls on the basis of being Kev's brother. I remember a friend of mine going to a party in said pad after being out clubbing, and telling me how sleazy he was.

Plenty of dirt on Kev though- if you google Kev Seed Wanker, there are a few interesting anecdotes on forums.

So doing that! I know a few things on him too from his colleagues. Not a well liked guy (cos he's a prick)

Athena, yea. Great shop, I had no money either.
Loved Quiggins of course, used to buy all sorts of crap from there!!

Was the Paradox the place that was in the old Littlewoods Pools building?

I didn't go clubbing in Liverpool much as I led a sheltered life and then went off to Manchester to uni. I don't even remember much about clubs except for Eric's (a uni friend was a roadie for the early incarnations of OMD so we used to get in free)

I have been subjected to my mother telling me about "Hold your plums" and was even given a recording of the shaky leg song by Billy Butler Does anyone else remember that shite?
