Not to be outdone by the gangsta rappers and popster blingers, our man with the hippest hoppest appeal, Lord Mayor Steve Rotheram, blinded all-comers with the biggest bling in the city – his priceless golden mayoral chain. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/10/14/mr-brocklebank-nothing-iconic-64375-22031379/ Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:12:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/10/14/mr-brocklebank-nothing-iconic-64375-22031379/ RENOWNED for his exquisite taste and aesthetic judgment, Loyd Grossman honoured his commitment to deliver Lord Alton’s Roscoe Citizenship lecture on heritage to a packed St George’s Hall, in spite of his shock resignation from chairing National Museums Liverpool’s board of trustees. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/10/07/mr-brocklebank-stop-splitting-heirs-64375-21978407/ Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/10/07/mr-brocklebank-stop-splitting-heirs-64375-21978407/ TALKING proper: it was noted by a leading phonetician that when HRH the Princess Royal opened the final phase of Grosvenor’s Liverpool One shopping centre last Wednesday, the Duke of Westminster pronounced Chavasse Park as “Shar-vaze” Park. Have we been saying it wrong all these years, or is it nature’s compensation for that Birkenhead mayor who introduced Viscount Leverhulme as “Vizz-count” Leverhulme? http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/09/30/mr-brocklebank-hanging-gardens-64375-21926494/ Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/09/30/mr-brocklebank-hanging-gardens-64375-21926494/ HAVING wisely given extra legal protection to save Dale Street’s historically important, but long-derelict Georgian shop row, surely “heritage champion” Cllr Berni Turner must take centre-stage to inaugurate a new autumnal Liverpool tradition, called “trimming the buddleia”? These showy purple-flowered plants now sprout abundantly from its prized period handmade brickwork. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/09/23/only-the-hotspots-64375-21877915/ Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/09/23/only-the-hotspots-64375-21877915/ WHILE visiting the Labour Party conference in Manchester, Mr Brocklebank was dazzled by the array of council trade stands. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/09/16/passengers-diverted-64375-21824114/ Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/09/16/passengers-diverted-64375-21824114/ RELAXING in his luxurious Virgin Trains carriage, Mr Brocklebank’s eyes strayed to the glossy in-train magazine, Hotline. Turning to Page 57, his attention was caught by the “Eat, shop and sleep” in Liverpool and London feature. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/09/09/fun-versus-safety-64375-21705995/ Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/09/09/fun-versus-safety-64375-21705995/ SAFETY hats off to the intrepid French operators of the Liverpool favourite giant spider, La Princess. Dismissing years of ever-more strangulating, po-faced, puritanical British health and safety regulations, these gutsy Gallic lever-pullers tackled their task of frightening delicate Scouse spectators protected with no more than T-shirts, jeans, trainers, lip-dangling Gaulois cigarettes and “comme si, comme ca” shrug. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/08/26/from-beyond-64375-21611048/ Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/08/26/from-beyond-64375-21611048/ IN THE flurry of network television programmes about Liverpool during its Capital of Culture year, many of the usual suspects have been already used as presenters. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/08/19/fit-for-a-hero-64375-21561384/ Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:47:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2008/08/19/fit-for-a-hero-64375-21561384/ WHEN His Grace, the Duke of Westminster, motors through Abercromby Square past Tom Murphy’s magnificent new Noel Chavasse sculpture to view his Liverpool One investment, will he reconsider Grosvenor’s arrogant dismissal of this work?
