I would guess they are expecting a protest at the rising levels of employment in Liverpool

Maybe I should try the five0 site, as all Police leave has been cancelled, apparently.

I heard unconfirmed reports that theres a car being driven through the town centre of Liverpool over the weekend that has nice alloy wheels, a fully functioning stereo/radio/cd player ,AND an almost full years tax.


maybe thats the reason?

La Machine Liverpool 5/6/7 September 2008.

By the same outfit that did the giant elephant parading through London a couple of years ago. I've a feeling it could be the highlight of the 'Capital of Culture' year, so am driving up for it.

Not sure, Yoza. Read about it a couple of weeks ago, but they're keeping very quiet. It'll be some sort of procession through the city centre, but by what, I don't know.

But just look at the size of the elephant they had in London!

The site says they'll start drip feeding info from tomorrow, so it'll all unfold by Friday. A bit 'viral marketing'-ish, but I'm really looking forward to it. I'll look out for a bloke in the crowd with a huge watch!

It is a spider. Yes, a spider that weighs a few tons tied to the side of a building
Honestly, it is so embarrasing to live anywhere near that place
National news that our nearest city has a spider on the side of a building made out metal by a mental french person
Oh joy, oh rapture quick! Flock in your millions!

I'll be rather surprised if it lasts 'til Sunday without being robbed and weighed in for scrap
