Completely agree, and I think Slow Horses follows this model. In the books and the show the characters don’t really have an arc. They gently reset each season. It’s a workplace sitcom and spy drama.

I’d been a fan since discovering Whiskeytown in the 90s, but dropped him out of my rotation after the scandal broke. Saw he’d released a bunch of albums since and dipped into a couple but they seemed very poor and self-pitying.

Yeah, and Wirtz is everywhere. So much so that I would worry of Madrid’s third choice RB came on as I suspect he’d have a lot of space.

Pretty much every team does it in the Champions League. Real do as well. Red Star and Arsenal do. Tottenham and Copenhagen do. PSG and Bayern do. I can only assume it’s a requirement.

Exactly! Also scientific consensus is natural zoonotic transmission. What relevance is a YouGov poll?! People believe lots of idiotic things!
