Explore Liverpool's rich maritime history at this excellent museum where you can lose yourself in the splendour of ocean going liners, ponder the naval and merchant bravery and hardships in war time and positively embarrass yourself at Britain's involvement in the world slave-trade.

IDAHO : International Day Against Homophobia
It's difficult to envisage in the relatively open society in which we live in the UK, Europe and Australia, that there are an astonishing 77 countries who punish women, men and children because of their sexuality. But then, it was only in 1990 that the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from their list of mental disorders. IDAHO - International Day Against Homophobia - exists to provoke action to end Homophobia. A number of events are planned for 17th May 2007, International Day Against Homophobia, around the world. We've listed a few here, so please do attend and show your support.
