None taken. With due respect to Warrington, it's not really on the tourist trail unless you like brewery guided tours.

I could only imagine that she's beautiful on the inside also.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Except you don't know any 'Evertonians'...
'Everton under-21 boss Alan Stubbs hails stand-out performance from Shane Duffy': http://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/3942/...ails-stand-out
The Toffees youth coach has praised the Republic of Ireland under-21 captain's performance against Fulham and noted Tony Hibbert's influence
Everton under-21 coach Alan Stubbs has praised defender Shane Duffy after his side's 1-1 draw with Fulham under-21s.
The Republic of Ireland under-21 captain scored for the young Toffees side and crashed a shot off the cross-bar during the draw and Stubbs hailed the 21-year-old as one of the "stand-out peformers".
Tony Hibbert made a return to action after a four-month injury layover and Stubbs believes that the right-back's presence helped the youthful defence.
"The game was all about [Tony Hibbert] and getting him 60 minutes. That was the most important thing," Stubbs told evertontv.
"Just by him being there is a big help to the lads playing around him. His presence allowed Tyias [Browning] and Shane [Duffy] to play and know the right places where they should be.
"I thought that was evident in their displays because I thought they were our stand-out performers."
Duffy, who has made three appearances for David Moyes' side this season, is the current captain of Everton's under-21 side.

Turns out he turned down an invite to Darron Gibson's stag party in Marbella to captain our under-21s against Denmark recently.
That's some very impressive dedication. Especially considering the fella's age and the fact a stag party was on the table.
Ha, OK, it was the only item of info in the piece of which I'd been previously unaware. And he's proven himself more dedicated than Gibson. But then, as your sarcastic wit implies, that wouldn't be difficult.
Is it time for duffy to leave everton to further his career?
Played 90 minutes in Everton's first pre-season game against Austria Vienna, which they lost 2-1. Didn't have the best of games and his handball gave away a penalty, but interesting that Martinez paired him with both Distin and Jagielka. Gibson also played a part in the game and Martinez praised his influence as a senior player.
Next friendly is on Wednesday v Accrington Stanley, who are they?

I'm not sure but I believe Ian Rush said you can play for them if you drink lots of milk.
I drank a heap of milk and never got further than winning an U-12 mini world cup at Joey's Sallynoggin, so I can state that Rushy was blatantly lying.
no, he said if you don't drink lots of milk, you'll only be good enough to play for them
the kid from the ad was brought back to the stadium when they got promoted to League Two: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...re/4788038.stm
I am not sure if milk is actually very good for you, let's face it it is unnatural for adults to drink it for starters.
Also 75% of people can digest it properly ( the body never developed the ability to digest it beyond childhood for obvious reasons).
Also milk is bad for the bones (contrary to the advertising) those who drink the most milk have the weakest bones.
Obviously when farmers have slaughtered all the calves they ain't gonna pour the milk down the drain hence the heavy marketing.
Fair haired/skinned people tend to be able to digest it, blacks generally can't and don't drink it much.
It's "unnatural" for people to ingest lots of things. Like cooked food for example.
Milk is a great source of loads of nutrients, and if you're not lactose intolerant (and most northern Europeans aren't), it's a good thing to drink. Better than endless soft drinks anyway (I have friends who drink up to ten cans of coke a day. I have no idea how a human can do that!)
You're both being silly. It is "natural" for people to ingest anything the human digestive system is capable of processing, ie whatever they can find. Drinking cow's milk might be a bit parasitic but it's certainly not unnatural.
Can or can't? Most people from northern European and other agricultural stock can digest milk - it's quite a common and beneficial mutation.Also 75% of people can digest it properly ( the body never developed the ability to digest it beyond childhood for obvious reasons).
No, people who have the weakest bones drink the most milk. Because milk is very good for the bones.Also milk is bad for the bones (contrary to the advertising) those who drink the most milk have the weakest bones.
They slaughter the calves because all they want is the milk.Obviously when farmers have slaughtered all the calves they ain't gonna pour the milk down the drain hence the heavy marketing.
It depends on your definition of "natural". If you take it to its conclusion, everything humans do is natural, because we're animals, and as such are part of the natural world (and I do realise that's not the way the word is normally used). That's not the point I was trying to make, however. Humans have been drinking animal milk for probably somewhere of the same order of time as we've been cooking our food. If drinking milk is unnatural, cooking our food is as well (and I don't think either is, I know people who are part of the "raw food" movement, and they're a bunch of wild-eyed crusties on a par with the anti-fluoridation and 9/11 Truther crowd)
For what its worth, most dairy farmers don't slaughter calves..
Do calves produce milk?
Not the kind you'd want to drink.
