Manchester or Liverpool?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Poll question: Manchester or Liverpool?

I've got to go with Manchester myself, despite the continued existence of Man United.

[fudge stripe cookays]

1. Shoegazing or the Beatles?

What else has Liverpool ever done, actually? Just curious.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, Liverpool FC,

The La's, various great poets and writers whose names escape me.

[fudge stripe cookays]

5. That's true. Forgot about

Echo and the Bunnyguys. Don't know if I'd ever heard where Teardrop came from, and the La's were dead boring.

I bought the CD, saw em live, and was really glad that I'd gotten free tix.

I love it, love it, LOVE IT!!!

6. The Gallagher Bros.

'Nuff said. :7

[Screaming Lord Byron]

7. So you're voting for Liverpool?

:shrug:

[dolo amber]

9. NO!

I mean, sure Ian may still someday come and take me away from all this, but I'll just have to make do with the delectably snotty and rude and arrogant and vile unibrow twins for now.

Grrrrrr, baby. ;)

11. I'd shag Gillian from New Order.

I'm just saying.

8. Manchester England, England...

Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me that's me

Claude Hooper Bukowski
Finds that it's groovy
To hide in a movie
Pretends he's Fellini
And Antonioni
And also his countryman Roman Polanski
All rolled into one
One Claud Hooper Bukowski

Now that I've dropped out
Why is life dreary dreary
Answer my weary query
Timothy Leary dearie

Oh Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me (that's he)
That's me (that's he)
That's me (that's he)
That's me

I hate you, Screaming Lord Byron.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. So long as it's a sexy hate, I'm down with that.

[eyesroll]

12. That's the best kind of hate!

17. I think that Mancunian (sp corrected) suits me better than...

Liverpudlian.

So I'm goin' with Madchester.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

18. It's Mancunian, though.

Does that affect your vote?

[XNASA]

My vote is not infected.....I mean affected.

I will correct that immediately.

Thanks.
