We are devastated - our lovely cat who we have had for almost nine years died on Saturday - very suddenly and very unexpectedly. Had to take her to the emergency vet but she died on the way. It started me thinking that, given how much we become attached to our furry companions who do become...

****RANT ALERT**** On Saturday I placed a bet in person at the William Hill kiosk in the Main Stand at Goodison. I won £95!! Utterly amazing and thank you Kevin Mirallas. Point 1: my bet was accepted without question. It says on the back of the coupon that winnings can be collected from 10am the...

Nicked from the official facebook page but thought it might be good for here. In advance of Burns night, who are your three favourite Everton players from north of the border. Mine are Graeme Sharp, Andy Gray and for sentimental reasons (my heart belongs to the mid-late 1970s teams who were the...

I thought Synchronicity was their best album.

I've always had a fascination with the story of the Titanic. I was thinking of having a weekend in Belfast to visit the exhibition. Has anybody been? Would you recommend it? And, if I do go, what else could I see in Belfast while I'm there. Cheers.

For many years I've been driving to and from Liverpool to visit the family. Always took the A66 M6 route. Then we moved (Bear with me I'll get to the point soon) so I now go A1 M62. Every time. each I drive across Saddleworth Moor it creeps me out. I think about the poor little boy who is still...

I've clearly cracked. The effect of living in rural County Durham for 25 years and a work history that included such places as Warrington, Port Sunlight and Birkenhead has finally taken its toll. I've gone the full wool. How do I know? because in a few weeks time these two, brother and sister...

It’s been a tough week in the Ferrett household. Last weekend’s trip to Liverpool to visit the parents left the cat home alone for one night, with plenty of food, water and access all areas, inside and outside. We returned to three dead mice, the contents of a bin bag strewn all over the kitchen...

Having tried to halt the spread of middle age today with ever tighter and cunningly hidden layers of Lycra that are supposed to "contour" but instead cut off the blood supply to the extremities I came up with this. You all seem a bit sad not to have a travel guide to Burnley with a bit of footie...

OK, stop laughing. A woman asking for advice on driving. However I know how good you are with advice and love to share your knowledge so here goes: Next month we are going on holiday to the USA and by the time I've looked at cost of hotel transfers to and from the airport and any other public...

Possibly one for the older generation. Resulting from a conversation in a different thread, I feel that one of Liverpool's iconic night clubs deserves its own thread. It was a dump, you stuck to the floor, entry was 50p in my day, or you could get life membership for £5. Cabin cards were prized...

I've just watched Jurassic World....for about the 7th time. Every time I watch it I think "this is really stupid" but I love the film, completely watchable rubbish. I also have a huge soft spot for Megashark v Giant Octopus which is firmly in the so bad it's good category. Anybody else have any...

Taking a cue from the "best live band" thread let's go to the other extreme. Were they were just plain awful or a crushing disappointment? Here's mine: Sinitta at a Butlins 80's weekend. My expectation was zero and she surpassed that. She came on, said she had a cold and couldn't sing so mimed...

I was doing my weekly shop in Morrisons earlier today. The lady on the checkout kept apologising to me and I wasn't quite sure why. I asked her if she was OK. She told me that she had come into work early to start at 5.30 only to discover that her shift had changed and it was a 4.30 start...

I need to put it out there first: I hate the weekends that are scheduled as international breaks and I hate international friendly breaks even more. I also have no idea who is responsible for the scheduling of these snoozefests (I know, England beat Germany but do the Germans give a [Poor language removed] about...
