    Trains to the match on Sunday

    It's just come to my attention that the Merseyrail Northern Line between Southport and Bootle Strand is not running on Sunday (all day) in both directions and there are rail replacement buses running.

    Wandered into my polling station before and the lady in their said the turnout was shocking. I was alone in there and of my housemates, 2 out of 5 of us are bothering. Lots of apathy by the looks of it. Cross in the box. Did GOT vote?

    So we've locked a guy up for years for walking around with his wang out. BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34140955 Should we be jailing people for wandering round in the nude?

    Greek Financial Crisis

    Could well truly arrive on July 1st. I still think they will find an agreement that will see them bailed out for now, but still think they will default eventually. Brilliant country, lovely people and not their fault!

    So the anti-austerity protests are coming thick and fast, one is apparently coming to Liverpool on 27th May. A thread to discuss it and then complain about all the troublemakers who go and get themselves arrested and make everyone else look bad.

    If a friend owes you money...

    Then what on Earth do you do if he is being a tit about repaying it? I lent a lad I live with a small sum of money last Tuesday. It was simply a matter of 'I'm going to the supermarket, do you want anything?', he did want a couple of items and I picked them up for him. I came home, gave him the...

    Who would you like to go down?

    Out of the clubs near to the relegation zone, who would you like to see relegated from the Premier League and why? You may choose three. I want Newcastle to go down because they are deluded and going backwards. QPR because I think they do it all wrong, spending loads of money on old players...

    Jeremy Kyle

    I'm sure that while some think that it's harmless entertainment, there will be others of the opinion that it's poor quality and harmful. I would usually consider myself the latter. However, I got a surprise last minute chance to go to a recording yesterday. My friend had ordered two tickets and...

    Weed, marijuana, hash, grass, skunk (the strong stuff that is often dealt in the UK). Class B drug in the UK - formerly Class C. Several smaller political parties - most notably the Greens - have stated that they would legislate to legalise and regulate the sale of personal quantities of...

    Very sad this. Last night at 8:30pm a lad was shot in the back just off Smithdown Road. The shooting is believed to have been targeted. The lad was apparently Scottish but lived locally. He was later pronounced dead in hospital. Amazing that this goes on...
