BBC News: Liverpool named Capital of Culture [04-Jun-03]
Liverpool has been named European Capital of Culture 2008 … The leader of Liverpool City Council, Councillor Mike Storey, said: "This is like Liverpool winning the Champions League, Everton winning the double and the Beatles reforming all on the same day - and Steve Spielberg coming to the city to make a Hollywood blockbuster about it."
He forgot to mention Manchester United being relegated from the third division. Might as well go the whole hog.
