I'm feeling all sad for Blackpool. No one, including me, has much nice to say about the place. Has anyone got any nice Blackpool stories to redress the karmic effect we've possibly created?

The Northbound / Southbound M6 sliproads.

Nope.
Went on a stag do there that had all the right ingredients. Fire hazard B&B, unconscious drunken lady weeing on a mates bed, one lad in hospital as a result of a glassing, pick pockets, packs of violent drunken arseholes and it was raining.
The next time I see Blackpool it will hopefully be through a bomb aimers sight.
I know an armed response policeman who is called there occasionally. He finds it incredible that drunken idiots will go out of their way to take on a copper armed with a taser and a baton.

There are regular departures from Blackpool Airport.

Apparently there's some good* dogging to be had at South Shore dunes.
*If you like the thought of some chlamydia-infested 50-year-old gap-toothed boarding house owner with a fanny like a bill-poster's bucket.

Saw Roy 'chubby' Brown there years ago - that was a good laugh, but the place is a tacky pit.

Look some one here views Roy chubby Brown as classy [WTF and FFS] and even they think Blackpool is a tacky pit. That will not be trumped as an answer.

This is supposed to a nice thread.
Nothing further to add.

{Shudder}
The thought of a stag weekend there a few years back almost brings me out in a cold sweat. Horrible place.
We were originally going to go to Hamburg but the father of the groom didn't have a passport as apparently there is nothing worth seeing outside the UK.
To add a nice point though. I had some cracking chips from one of the chippies.

It's in the North?

The beach looks nice, when you've got your back to the seafront and there's nobody on it.

"there is nothing worth seeing outside the UK"
Should fit in well up north then

Went down to the "Pleasure" beach about 9 years ago. Absolute shithole though that big roller coaster was quite fun.
However I've never seen so many skinhead, Hackett polo shirt wearing fannies in my entire life. Even during the day you felt on edge as though a scrap was about to kick off at any time. The only place I've been that's worse is Whitely Bay

It has a super-quick half marathon course which got me a big PB yesterday!
Posted 3 years ago # -
hmm...
Rollercoaster, Big Dipper, Grand National, Wild Mouse, Zipper Dipper, Steeplechase, Flying Machines, Revolution.
cant think of any other nice things - TVR went not so long ago, that was the only other good thing there.

The Russians had detailed plans to invade England via Blackpool. Seriously. I think that's a good news story for Blackpool. Stalin could easily have improved the place.

As per Uplinks answer, but Eastbound!

Its the only place that under 6's can have fond memories of?

The reason Hitler didn't do the decent thing and order his Luftwaffe to reduce Blackpool to smouldering rubble has now been revealed: The Fuhrer wanted the resort as his "personal playground", as the Daily Mail puts it.

Stalin could easily have improved the place.
Are you saying a naval bombardment followed up by an opposed landing complete with close air support would have improved Blackpool?
I think you may be onto something there, the IRA bomb in Manchester led to huge improvements to the city.

Pretty much yes sootyandjim. Actually, they'd never have taken Blackpool. The drunks and bouncers would never have let them off the beach head.
That would be an ace film now I think about it.

Right lads, let's get some beers in.

Theres some damn fine kitesurfing (about 1:20 in)to be had at blackpool! If you dont get back to your car and find it robbed of kit.

They had "Showzam" over the last week which was supposed to be rather good. Did anyone go & see it ? I believe it was mostly based around the Winter Gardens which is a fabulous place if you can see beyond the tat & fruit machines.
I feel a seaside renaissance happening.Posted 3 years ago # -
It's half way round a double century from my house along the transpennine trail. Not that the transpennine trail goes anywhere near Blackpool but like many good things, it peters out about 30 miles away from Blackpool.

Alternative captions for the above picture (I work for a German company and over servers/IT are in the Fatherland, so I don't want to download it for fear of an instant dismissal).
"Stick together fellas, that bloke in the Tartan skirt is looking at us in a funny way."
"If we split up into twos and threes we might get in."
"If you want to go skinny dipping i'll stay here and guard the boots and coats."

As I mentioned in the other post some of the finest wooden roller coasters left anywhere in the world. And if you take a pilgrimage to St. Leonards road in Marton you can see where I was born. And then it's just a short walk to Stanley Park which has a fabulous Art Deco café and you can go for a ride on the boating lake on the same motor boats which seemed clapped out when I first went on them 40 years ago and haven't improved with age.

Because when the High Command went to the Tower Circus Himmler left the camera in the half track.

I used to ride the Manchester to Blackpool run, for charadee.
