I can't ever remember staying up for a first session of the Ashes in Aus and it being a good idea
We will have good sessions but this wasn't going to be one of them

I like Libero. The ones where they cover all the matches, but mainly Liverpool, ManU, City and Arsenal, not so much

He could always score. But you need to do a lot more off the ball and our of possession in the Premier League than he did. Good luck to him, want him to do well now. I like Lens

I notice when they talk about the well run small clubs it is Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford. Blank slate, good transfers, well run

That's not to defend the Royal Family on this. Rich men can abuse and raoe poor women and society will cover it up. The Royals have to answer to public pressure as they are concerned with their own legitimacy

True
But the Royal Family are also the only people who have punished a man for being part of this sex ring

Only Maxwell is in prison.

It seems unlikely to be that the other great faith of the Middle East hasn't been significant in the theology of monotheism even if it isn't a major faith now

I'll watch this later. I'd love to know how much Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism as it become monotheistic. One of my neighbours is a Parsi but the modern faith is probably very different
Also how much would it influence early Islam as they took over the Zorastrian world?

Northern Cyprus one of the last places that still uses GBP as its preferred hard currency
