Cas says..“ I know this is not the right thing to say but the Strangeways riot was brilliant fun! Me and my mates used to go every day and watch and it was all over the tv so it seemed like we were at the centre of the universe. We used to ride over on our scooters (the type that were out in 1990!) and watch the drama unfold and then get told off when we got home. Great fun.”

johnthebrief says..“ Panacea review - why?

Can't you just give it a headline along the lines of "Convicted thug who should be behind bars mysteriously allowed to open a bar, but from a sense of moral decency we're steering well clear of it"

Or don't you do right and wrong?”

Gordo says..“ JTB, bottom, bottom, bottom. I lost the bloody sweep on the how long it would take your old testiment attitude to anything Panacea on the page. I at least won the bet about wether or not you would include the phrase " or don't you do right and wrong'. Love ya. ;-)”
