Teen Awards, Poppies, Lexi Branson & Steve Prescott

It seems the windy affects of last week's 'hurricane' are still affecting the British Isles, or more particularly, the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards as Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall saw her skirt blow up in her face.

The popstar was walking the red carpet with bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock when a breeze caught the hemline of her grey skirt.

Luckily, Jade managed to get a perfectly manicured hand down in time to prevent her knickers being on show for too long. 

Seems like the wind just loves to catch Celebrities out?

Okay, so I was travelling to see a family member in hospital this week, and while I was on the bus, I was reading a debate about Poppies for Remembrance Sunday. The question was nice and simple. It was "Should people feel bad for not wearing a poppy?" - I actually enjoyed this debate because it was rather varied and brought out some really good points. I feel as though I have to get into the spirit of things when I change my column banner to accommodate the poppy ready for Remembrance Sunday. I guess, one of the main points of the debate was that the poppies don't really last so people feel as though they have to keep buying them, which someone stated that it was costing them more and more money, they also suggested that they should give safety pins with the poppies and then they should last longer - I don't really like to argue on this matter however, I am a strong supporter of our Armed Forces. Let me know what you think, and cast YOUR vote here. 

I was appalled to see this story in the press this week, and it is beginning to highlight that dogs shouldn't be let around the younger generation, and is bringing to light whether dogs are safe or not. It was brought to light on Wednesday 6th November, that the dog had been brought from a rescue centre a few months before hand where, the family checked to see if the dog would be okay with a young child. Police did confirm that the dog was not of the banned breeds and was in fact a bulldog. Police also confirmed that the dog has died after Lexi's Mother attempted the save her child by stabbing the dog. All I can say, is Rest In Peace to Lexi Branson. We will remember you.

Steve during his career.

This weeks column, seems to feature two deaths:(, meh. Life is so hard at times. Yesterday, I learned of the news that Steve Prescott had passed away and the first time, I read the news, it was devastating, having to know that I had the pleasure of meeting this man on a few occasions, and following his progress quite closely, it was devastating to see. He has got a wife called Linzi and two sons, but it's the fact, of the most inspiration that this man had caused to thousands of people. St Helens residents and many thousands of people will remember him. Steve Prescott MBE - 1973 - 2013.

I just want to confirm something, I will be doing an #ASKLIAM video every fortnight. It will be what you guys submit on my Tumblr page. As for my Advice Line is going to be made personal now, which means that any question sent to my via the email address on the page will be answered personally and honestly directly to YOU.

I also want to wish my very dear friend, Alicia Bevan, a massive GOOD LUCK for her Britain's Got Talent audition today. It's about time that her voice got heard, she has got massive potential and deserves everything that she gets. She is going through a tough time at the moment, but she still remains to be a supportive friend and is staying strong. I'm thinking of you and your family.

Hope to speak soon,

Liam xxxx
