 Mancs
& Scousers
Old rivals
- but after Manchester's backing for Liverpool's Culture bid, we ask:
is there a grudging respect between Mancs & Scousers?

 Is
the Hummer a bummer?
It's the
daddy of all 4x4 vehicles. At 拢55K and weighing 4 tonnes, the
Hummer is overpriced, overweight, and over here. Versatile, safe,
family-friendly and fun? Or is the Hummer a gas-guzzling eco-bummer?

 Anouska:
Was she right to go?
Stockport lass Anouska was the first person to be evicted

jealous?

 Getting

We want you to share your Chinatown experiences. Tell
us the best places to eat - the type of food you can get. Have you
spotted something in one of the supermarkets that you need identifying
or have you got some family recipes you could pass on? (02/03)
Lunchtime
is off
We want to know what you eat and where you eat at
lunchtime in and around Manchester - and how much are you prepared
to pay for a sandwich? (22/01/03)
 Robbie

City lose out on Leeds United striker, Robbie Fowler. Is it a big

 Manchester's
big bang - a bangin' idea?
Britain's biggest sculpture is set to explode onto
the Manchester skyline. Called B of the Bang, it's a tilting starburst
of 200 steel spikes. What do you think of it? (08/01/03)
 Drink
drivers - getting away with murder?

shopper - or a 'mall-content'? (31/12/02)
 New
Order or Oasis - Who's the best?
Oasis are out on tour, as big and bad as ever (if Liam's ruck is
anything to go by, anyway) and New Order have just released Retro,
a four disc box set of their best material, so we were wondering,
who's the best? (11/12/02)
 Widening
the M6 - will it work?
A huge section of the M6 motorway near Manchester
is to be widened to four lanes in each direction. It's a desperate
bid to ease traffic congestion. But will it work? (10/12/02)
 Top-up
fees - pricing out students?
Students from Manchester are joining a national demo
in London against top-up fees. They say any levy on tuition fees
will price out poorer students. Are they right? (04/12/02)
 Liam
Gallagher - God or Goon?
Whatever you think of Liam, Oasis wouldn't be Oasis without him.

from rock stars? (03/12/02)
