[liverpool] capital of culture

On Thursday, August 23, 2007, Deogolwulf took it into his head, under the title Some Sense of Culture, to post:

Liverpool is to be European Capital of Culture in 2008. One must charitably suppose that it is culture in the anthropological sense.
One of the major joys of many blogs is the comments section and so it is here:

Not bad, dearieme.

Not unlike Glasgow, would you say?

I've only been to Glasgow once. A few friends and I decided to go out somewhere in the Gorbals, and to that end we took a taxi, the driver of which, hearing our English accents, declared with some pleasure that we were going to die. We didn't.

    Glasgow scrubbed up quite a bit when it was European City of Culture. Perhaps Liverpool has done the same thing. Easy to be cynical about these kinds of things.
