  3. Organ donation: Two people saved by our decision, says teenager's father

    Scott Dalton

    Presenter, BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    As a country we don't really talk about organ donation, which often means that when we die our relatives don't really know our wishes if we haven't filled out a donor card.

    A new campaign called "donation conversation" is being launched by NHS Blood and Transplant to encourage you to do just that and let your family know if it's something you want to do. 

    I've been speaking to Nigel Burton from Grantham, who's from the Donor Family Network. His son died when he was just 16. Take a listen:

    The warning comes after six arrests were made last weekend when The Mariners faced Sheffield United.

    Four people were charged and police are reviewing CCTV with the hope of making more arrests.

    Quote Message: It would be wrong to describe these individuals as football fans. They are just people who attach themselves to the name of a club as a prerequisite to their mindless violent and criminal behaviour." from Nick Dale Grimsby Town Football Club

  10. Jellyfish on the rise

    Alex Rhodes

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    You might want to keep an eye out if you're planning on going to the coast this weekend, the Marine Conservation Society says jellyfish are on the rise in our waters.

    Some scientists think its because of climate change and overfishing, whereas others believe the numbers fluctuate every 20 years or so.

    The Lion's Mane Jellyfish is one to be especially wary of, it has the most powerful and painful sting of all the jellyfish found in UK waters.
