About 50% of the occasional times I need to use the train between Liverpool and Manchester, the train I choose to travel on is either cancelled or hugely delayed.

They're a fucking shambles.

One train was bricked the other day going through St Helens Junction around 3pm, damage was such it had to terminate there, with others delayed & cancelled.

Add to tonight, an incident at Roby with all lines blocked.

Missus is on the way back from Liverpool to Manc tonight and hers was cancelled earlier so had to wait around Lime St for about 45mins.

Fucking figures.

Same with trains from Chester to Manchester. Often late and jam packed from Manchester - pre Covid, haven't used that train since lockdown.

Add to tonight, an incident at Roby with all lines blocked.

That was it. All over the local news sites - huge emergency services presence, blocked for a few hours.

Then nothing. No explanation what the incident was. No further reporting. Just a 'move along, nothing to see'.

As a nosy bastard, that hannoys me.

Does it keep the sandwiches in it's  pocket. That is the question?

A body was found on the tracks at Roby.

It's on the Echo website at the moment.

Losing all my Liverpool related content from the past few years on my Sky Q box. Its been a few weeks and I am still genuinely upset about it.

Think you can still get 'Bread' on DVD on ebay. Brooksides on youtube and Ken Dodd and the Diddymen on VHS or Betamax in any good second hand shop

[Statto Red]

Yep, the motoring laws are often barmy, you get hit big time for minor motoring offences[take getting caught doing 33 in a 30 zone for instance], then virtually let off when you seriously injure or kill someone

Rip off fucking Britain. PCR test my lad needed to fly cost £66, the one on landing in Cyprus? £16. Just fuck off you cunting Tory bastards

I had that last night. Endless banging. It went on for ages, its noise pollution. I actually added to the noise in the end by going out in the garden and shouting at the bastards.

It least it's not as bad as it once was, not too many years ago fireworks would be set off all times of the day & night, from mid September until 5th November.

My mate does an otter magazine and i went to Donna Nook near Grimsby to get some photos , I was eating my sarnie and put it down for literally a few seconds and this cheeky fucking otter crept in there and stole it . As I've got older then I've chilled out a bit as 10 years ago i would have probably had a fight with it and then probably be having curried otter for tea

Some pea-brains took the trouble to drive to Sefton Park at 11:30pm last night to set off industrial sized rockets that shook the windows as they exploded, before driving off home again.

It's just plain old antisocial moron behaviour.

This post might actually be funnier than the first one.

Everyone knows we need anotter magazine...

I love Otters and there are quite a few big time celebs that quite often pop down as well  Roland from Grange Hill , Dee Sadler who played Tracy Crabtree in No Place Like Home and that lass who played Gary Sparrows wife in Goodnight sweetheart ( Not sure which one as still to this day they look identical to the point when they did switch in the series it was a lot of years down the line that i first learnt about it

Cheers for reply, good story that. cheeky fuckers, but I guess if you’re hungry all bets are off.

Reason why it got my interest was that in lockdown when one of my mates who volunteers for the canal and river trust, asked if I wanted to go otter spotting. Given the cabin fever I had, the chance to get out of the house was too good to miss, so I said yes. Turned out we had to look for otter shit because it was unlikely that we’d see one.

We ended up having good chats with lots of people who were curious why 2 blokes were photographing random lumps of mud on a canal bank. At least you got to see one of the thieving fuckers

They should scrap the offence of 'causing death by dangerous driving' and just make it manslaughter. Because that's what it is.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Yeah,my friend's father got away with something very similar a long time ago.

His victim was a child.

Not commenting on the speeding, but it's not always the motorists fault. A few years back I was driving through Bootle and saw two kids (Teenagers) wrestling by the side of the road. Luckily I thought these are fucking wankers and had already massively stepped on the brake. I was stopped when the twat landed on my bonnet and I got out and raged at them and they ran off, but if I hadn't been switched on I'd have been done for killing a kid.

[Jwils21]

Happened near me a couple of years ago. Pensioner was killed pulling out of a family members drive, hit by a kid going well over the speed limit. Kid got nothing because it was all blamed on the pensioner who couldn't defend himself. Combination of shifting the blame and having a minted dad with connections meant the case didn't even make it into court.

I know what you mean,sometimes you see a group of them shoving one another around and you just know one of them's going to end up in the middle of the road.

Our daughter got hit by a car when she was fourteen,she wasn't seriously injured but it was totally her fault.She spotted one of her friends on the other side of the road and crossed without bothering to look both ways.

Did you not hear? Roland from Grange fucking Hill!!!
