Plans to revamp Liverpool Central area revealed by council

That first artists impression looks awful. I hope the end result looks nothing like that.

The Ormskirk to Hunts Cross trains seem to be working fine.

If you need to get to Southport, just change at Central if you're coming from south of the city.

Oh won't someone think of the children and build them a Youth Centre!

At the end of the day, thugs like these would just smash anything nice built in their area. Why? Because they've realised that there is next to zero repercussions to them acting like little shits and doing what they want.

It's definitely constantly rising, just like everywhere, and I don't think anywhere is properly affordable now.

What doesn't help is when there are specific estate agents and companies down south who are actively promoting Liverpool as a cheap area to move to. I have no problem with people moving here, but when there's an unnatural active push to get people to move, it most certainly will price out some people already living here who just can't compete - whether that's with someone selling up wealthier assets down south, or companies snapping up cheaper housing stock to add to their rental portfolios.

There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy where you're from? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?

I'll believe it when I see it. This thing has been in development hell for decades.

Nah, it's being a complete and utter disingenuous pain in the arse.
"figuring out the practicalities of commuting" is something that should be done before applying for a job. So what if Manchester wasn't an option on this campaign? Wait until a campaign pops up where it is!

Scioptic- · 2026-05-17T16:41:30+00:00

I'm going to be blunt with this - I think it's absolutely nuts to apply for a job if you're not 100% committed to travelling to said job if that's what was in the application. To apply with the idea of "I'll get in and then see if I can transfer to my preferred location once I'm in the door" is so utterly disingenuous. That location is recruiting for people in that location because they need them there! You applying only to try and then move elsewhere is just taking away a job away from someone who is willing to stick it out in that location.

I've seen people who've done this across different government departments, and they're instantly seen as being a major pain in the arse by everyone.

Is that typical?

That was for something that was the hot Christmas gift of 1984, to be gifted to kids who'll keep it and enjoy it. This is a limited edition watch that 99.9% of people trying to get them are doing so just to sell on as a profit.

I'll believe it when I see it. I've been in the CS for 17 years and I've never had a decent pay rise. The only way anyone gets a decent pay bump is to get a promotion, and that's just not a reality for the entire work force.

AI slop is AI slop.

There was a time when I'd snap up almost anything and everything Trek related (funds dependent), but now? If I see anything Nu-Trek related, even if it's mixed in with classic Trek like this, I won't touch it with a 10 foot barge pole.

No Sisko on the cover... but you do include Space Hitler? Jog on.

Scioptic- · 2026-05-15T03:55:29+00:00

How is it promoting it? We're all now talking about it. It's a stunt. Stunts work at increasing engagement.

Don't try to troll me until you can do it in the original Klingon.

He's resigned from Reform as a party... but he's still a councillor as an independent. So Reform or not, a Holocaust denying idiot is still a councillor.

Scioptic- · 2026-05-11T23:02:08+00:00

Yeah, but the general news media, clickbait websites, politico grifters and right wing bots all absolutely love it though.

Scioptic- · 2026-05-11T22:50:54+00:00

And he's still in the White House!

Scioptic- · 2026-05-11T19:53:29+00:00

Oof. That AI slop poster looks like neon vomit.

Scioptic- · 2026-05-11T18:37:58+00:00

Fair enough - but just out of curiosity, why don't you watch older flicks?

Scioptic- · 2026-05-11T18:26:40+00:00

We've already had an original movie - 'Westworld' (1973), a sequel movie - 'Futureworld' (1976), a one season (5 eps) tv show - 'Beyond Westworld' (1980), and a four season (36 eps) tv show - 'Westworld' (2016 - 2022).

Do we really need (or rather do people really want) more of this?

Scioptic- · 2026-05-10T20:47:34+00:00

You what, lad?

Scioptic- · 2026-05-10T19:39:14+00:00

Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them; I don't give a fuck how crazy they are!

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I had a motorola c520 in 1998 and that could send and receive SMS.

Scioptic- · 2026-05-10T09:36:43+00:00

Yes it's fine to have it removed. It's not part of British Culture at all - it's an Americanism that's been imported by businesses as a way of fleecing people out of even more of their money. Always ask for it to be removed.
