Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Tramp storiesWe used to - and still do have a tramp called 'the doug' (pronounced: dooog) here in the Wirral. He was banned from our local church because he used to run down the isle and infront of the altar do a mime of bowling a ball – mid mass.
He also tried to sell me a copy of Diana life story… obvisouly pilfered from somewhere…
What with his free bus rides, odd shoes, a hunchback, unique swearing language, obscure stories coupled with his constant state of pissed-off'ness. The guy was a hero and many of my friends and family believe a monument should be dedicated to him such is the general consensus towards a genuine tramp.
He is quite famous around these parts....So much so that when word spread that he had died – it made the regional paper…. Only to find out a few weeks later he wasn’t dead but just being drunk and disorderly somewhere else… he has subsequently died and re appeared several times. Perhaps he is a modern day Messiah?
Do you have any local heroes (tramps)
