    Default Texan saves Liverpool

    Ok, maybe not all of Liverpool. But he did save a shop.

    US webcam watcher foils burglary

    A man viewing a webcam in Liverpool from his home in Texas foiled a burglary after spotting thieves trying to break into a shop.

    The man went online in Dallas in the United States, to view images of the city's famous Beatles quarter.

    But he saw a group of men scaling a ladder on Mathew Street - home to the Cavern Club.

    He telephoned Merseyside Police and officers rushed to the scene and arrested three men.

    The break-in took place at Blacks outdoor activity shop on Tuesday.

    Window broken

    Three men, all aged in their mid-30s, were arrested on suspicion of burglary and bailed pending further inquiries.

    A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: "We received a call from a man in Dallas, Texas, who was watching a webcam and said he could see men removing property from a store.

    "There was a ladder against a wall and a first-floor window had been broken, and the men were taking property out.

    "Three men were arrested on suspicion of burglary and bailed.

    "The investigation is ongoing."

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    err, wait. If I read the story right, its basically, "man watches webcam in Liverpool, sees three scallies shoplifting"?

    You'd have to be at least as far away as Texas to find THAT surprising...

    sshhhh....Scousers are an ethnic minority.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Not in the Republic of Liverpool we're not

    Just spent much of three days at the Mathew St. Festival (that shop is at one end of the street) watching groups from all over the world playing mainly '60s British music. Best bands seen were an awesome Swedish Rolling Stones tribute group and a Russian ensemble with a stunning little blonde lead-singer, sort of like Christina Aguilera but better looking and the most amazing voice. It's a really cool experience to go to somewhere like the Cavern and talk to people from Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina, US, Canada, Russia, Spain, Italy, Japan, Norway, etc, etc, etc, all in the space of about three hours before moving on to the next venue.
