You just don't wander in the wrong places.
PHOENIX - A light rail train was taken out of service Tuesday morning after someone left a nasty surprise inside.
Around 8 a.m., a train was stopped for cleaning after a man smudged feces in the interior of the train. Police were told the man on the train was flicking and playing with feces.
The light rail operator was notified and quickly took the train out of service.
"It is a biohazard, and we have protocol for how we handle a situation like this," says Hillary Foose. Those protocols include disinfecting the train.
It was discovered near the 38th St and Washington station.
The man, who police say is homeless, was questioned at the station and released. Police plan to review surveillance video on the train.

Look, I done killed the thread. I shall do it again.
Rubbish. Wouldn't it have gone through his hand. Anything to get in the papers these days. Has to be convincing though doesn't it. I think I might arrange for the TARDIS to drop on my head. That'll get my fifteen minutes of fame.
EDIT: In other news, I have just read that Blackpool did really well over Easter and they expect to double last years visitor numbers this year. Ha ha, not bloody likely. However, how hard is it to double 1.

That is MENTAL. But why no photo of his hand?

Why not? Because it's got that northern stigma?
Indeed.
The magic rubs off when you live near-ish to it.

It's just hard to picture him pumping iron.
Didn't really realise that he had 6 stone to lose.

Ah. Well I'm considering going this year!
What is it that has attracted you to it? The Pleasure Beach? The Tower? Or the sewage filled sea? 
I actually went to the Pleasure Beach this afternoon. Had a couple of tickets to go on either the Grand National or the Big One. I got there and damn... "The Pepsi Max Big One is closed today due to high winds". Fancy building a coaster that can't stand high winds. 
That I've never been there (ok, once ... more driving through than actually visiting ... and I was about 3 at the time so don't remember it anyway), that it's in England (<3), that it's a nice long train journey away, and that it's cheap.
Good reasons! Enjoy yourself if you go.

Nice long train journeys are awesome.
