150 Issues of LeftLion
It’s fantastic. We all had a lot more hair when you first started this. What is it – nearly twenty years ago now? Very well done to you all. We are very proud to have featured in over 100 of those issues. Are you having a party to celebrate? If so, we’ll come. You should host it at the Bath Inn. That’s near your office and they have the most fantastic hanging baskets.

Jesse Lingard
We don’t follow football that closely, but we heard about this. We had a woman in the shop who was telling us about it. Isn’t he being paid an awful lot of money? She thought that it might breed discontentment among the other players. It's great news that they’ve been promoted to the first division, but it’s a shame they’ve not been able to keep the team together that got them there.

Last Ever Episode of Neighbours
Who cares about that? They’ve only ever had two famous people in it, right? We’re glad to see it go, to be honest. We’d also be very happy to see them take Emmerdale, Eastenders and Coronation Street away with it. They should just show repeats of The Likely Lads and M*A*S*H instead of all of them. We’d be delighted to see that.

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
