    Lovely place - Liverpool!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...de/7300133.stm

    Cycling down the road, minding your own business. Someone jumps out of a car and stabs you to death. I'm sure there's a bit of background to this story, but probably not too much in this day and age...

    Older and ...well, just older!!

    Liverpool - City of culture!!!

    Scum roaming the street is not culture!

      Culture - the filth and slime that grows on decaying matter.

        Watching that film Wilde the other day (quite a tearjerker at the end), I couldn't help wishing we still had judges like the one at his trial and prisons to match. Can't see it happening though while our hands are tied by all this human rights carp.

          Its no surprise to me. Pretty much every event that has shocked the nation in the past few decades has come from that city. Toxteth Riots, Jamie Bulger, Hillsborough, Antony Walker, Rhys Jones etc etc etc. For a small city it never ceases to amaze me.

            Agreed, doesn't take much really, in the last few weeks I've read of two cyclists killed and one in a coma that happened on the roads I use for my regular commute. All supposedly 'accidents', although the stories wandering about the cycling fraternity has: one where the cyclist flipped the bird at a bad driver who then chased them down, another where the car driver, (on drink and drugs,) thought the cyclist was laughing at them, so chased them down, and another that was racially motivated, cyclist was a well-to-do older white guy in an area the car driver thought he shouldn't be (there was also an OAP just walking home who got attacked with a baseball bat for just that as well).
            Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
            threadeds website, and here's my blog.

                Seemed a way over-sensitive edit, but ours not to reason why

                  Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.
