Sad moment boy Googled his illness and found how long he is likely to live
A family’s world ‘fell apart’ after their ‘active’ and ‘adventurous’ son was diagnosed with a rare fatal disease.

Comedians in the city will often mine our idiosyncrasies for comedy purposes - and why not - we have thick skins and can laugh at something we recognise possesses a ring of truth.
However, there was a time - in particular the 1970s and 1980s - when there was a common feeling in Liverpool that the portrayal of the city and its people were being viewed in an undeserved, negative light.
And there was one TV show broadcast in 1975 that received such a backlash for its perceived negative take on the city that it was pulled before the last episode aired and never broadcast again.
