Not from 5am in the morning, hollins, but I have tried to upload a couple of pics of the Britannia Restaurant onboard but as they are each over 3MB the system will not allow me to post them.  :rage:

A 3mb image is approximately 30 times larger in size than it needs to be to post adequately on here!

As it happens i had booked to go on a Mersey ferry  trip yesterday ! The views of the QM11 were stunning and better than you'd get being a passenger !!!

This was arriving at about 11.30am

and this was moored by the Liver Buildings which appeared relatively small when compared to the liner.

Dave, your pictures are brilliant. I had just logged on to put a link of a Daily Telegraph photo on here but yours are much better. here it is anyway.

Thanks for posting those photos, Dave, what an amazing ship! 

Did you get any photos of the Anthony Gormley statues?  It's a couple of years since I saw them and it would be interesting to see how they are getting on.

I believe Caffe Nero may be a touch delayed but still hope to open before Christmas.

Several years after I first mentioned it, the car park of the Swimming Pool/Venue Cymru still floods after a heavy shower of rain. You'd have thought the management would have noticed this themselves and sorted it out long ago but nooooo:

Seeing the tugs around the QM, is that why three tugs have been waiting off Colwyn Bay for around six or seven days and nights? Right through all the winds. There is only one left this evening

Bri, I too had this issue with pictures being too big for the Forum last year... then Trojan recommended clicking on Dr Pic,
From there, you simply upload YOUR picture, ask it to re-size it,  save it back to your own files.... and it is now the right size!
I am still indebted to Trojan for that ... I use it all the time,  the link is here..

Your original pic stays the same size on your desktop. Dr Pic will make a re-sized copy.  :)
