  Yea, no. This is only considered ‘work’ if you’re a physics teacher.

  Same for composer Ralph Vaughan-Williams. Since the last name starts with a ‘f’ sound, people think it’s ‘Ray Fiennes’ or ‘Ray Vaughan-Williams’. Granted Vaughan-Williams is a very niche example that most people would not have heard of.

  I hope I’m not wrong in hyphenating his surname.

  Maybe nothing. It was dormant for years. When they wired it up they ruined its ability to ever rotate ever again. St John’s Precinct had gone to shit and they have no money, so unless they can funnel their ridiculous cash cow of a car park into fixing it up and putting a restaurant back in there, I can’t see anything happening in it.

  There was a rumour about it being turned into a Weatherspoon’s. I hope not.

  I did the gallery tour last time I was there. That was nice. Maybe the owner can continue to operate tours, it could remain quite lucrative in the tourism season. Liverpool has no shortage of visitors. Just keep maintaining the lifts and it will take care of itself.

  Depends. It was dogshit when it launched, but now I get over 100mbps down. I did have to relocate the wireless modem box they gave me, though. And of course, YMMV, as did mine at launch.
