Is bommy night when anything made of wood, nailed down or not, gets robbed and lashed onto a pile about 10 feet away from someone's house before being set alight? Preferably with a guy on it made out of tights stuffed with newspaper? Traditionally, an aerosol got lashed in half way through the night for a bit of jeopardy. 

Or Friday as we used to call it growing up....

My Dad told me a story about him and his mates trying to make some money with penny for the guy outside the pub his dad run as a kid. They couldn't be arsed making a guy so just got one of them to put on some raggy clothes and he sat on the floor. All going well till some pissed up docker said he wanted something for his money and punted the 'guy' in the face.

We used to do that. Without the punted in the face bit - though I'm sure I heard that story as well.

Go through the ex-Tower Hill every week and it has been given its own railway station now.

My only memory of Mizzy Night is touching up the paint outside the house in West Derby and some little arsehole throwing an egg from the top deck of the 61 and walloping me on the back with it.

 

 Looking back it was a pretty good shot to be fair, but at the time I chased the bus nearly to the Melwood lights before I nearly passed out.

Probably sick of people walking up the track to Kirkby station.

 

Anyway, woah - ex Tower Hill? What's it called now?

[sir roger]

They try to pretend the new bits are Melling Mount now.

The station is called Headbolt Lane.

I fucking HATED this when I lived in Liverpool from 2001 to 2008. Was an absolute gauntlet getting home from uni or work. Especially as a "bad goth" 

 

I got egged so many times by the little fucking scrotums that lived near the bullring. 

 

Fucking scandalous it's tolerated. Police should be allowed free rein to maim.

Any pics of the bad goth look?

[Paulie Dangerously]

I can confirm that he was a bad goth.

Bandit country round there. London road's just one long shithole nowadays. Lots of moody looking Turkish men all wearing the same clothes just loitering around. I got off the train once and went over there to jump a bus and one was stood right behind me, I turned round and I'm certain he was trying to open my rucksack and would have had off with my work laptop. Better than getting egged though I suppose.

Quickest way out of there I guess.

[Liverpool lad]

I sometimes get the bus to remind myself how far I have come

Yeah, sorry about that, but I think we’ve both grown a lot since then.
