echo editor June 30 2008, Britten, Hardman St
I had a double dose of Culture on Saturday night.
First I went to the Anglican Cathedral where choirs from Liverpool and Cologne were accompanied by The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in a performance of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem.
Strirring stuff.
Afterward, accompanied by my brother and his wife, up specially from London for the concert, I wandered into nearby Hardman St.
There, the World Vomiting Championships were in full swing.
In the Projectile section a bloke in a doorway managed an impressive eight feet.
In the ethnic diversity category, Wok-fried noodles were clear winners with two impressive displays.
Sought refuge in the beautiful Philharmonic pub. Could be even better. Shabby, tacky blackboards with the menu on them hardly add to the ambience. And the legendary toilets?
Looked great. Smelled vile.
