The Random Thoughts About Anything, except VAR, Thread [R]

I'm European (Irish..... duh.... so I'm with you ...
anyway, I messed that up ....
was saying this:
" I was just pointing out that an oligarchical-patrician society isn't really what we take to be democratic ... I mean, if you want to take that view, the feudalism was a democratic thing too, in that those select few with the rights to power made the decisions. The fact that the made them in a debate forum or on a horse's back whilst burning a castle is of secondary relevance to that particular truth. "


that said : we had heard about it growing up as Ireland had its own attempt at a similar lark.....

And now for something completely different...!!!

Let's see you guys put all the names on these players. I mean other than Brucie back there.
There will be a test.



The guy, Front Centre, is an old buddy, who lived in the next street to my brother and me. Joe Fagin.

From the early 60's. Joey Fagin. "Joey and the Strangers" were among the 4 Groups who first went to the Star Club, Hamburg.
Along with Joe were Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. The Undertakers and some group calls the Beatles. Complete with Pete Best and Stew Sutcliff, with Paul, John and George.

Joe always was a big Liverpool FC man and a good friend of Gerry Marsden.

Did you know...There will be a test..! That Gerry had 2 number 1 hits in England. Both with the same song about. 25 years apart and both called YNWA.
In '85 he called all the Liverpool Sound folk together to make a record for the Bradford football disaster. Named them "The Crowd". To raise money to help.
Joe is featured about 1:37

Can't sneeze at an all expenses trip to Trump Tower Dubai. (Except for air fare and food.) We provide the journalist visa.

Dunno. Think you’d have go back to 1953 and Truman’s and Churchill’s spooks engineering Mosaddegh’s overthrow and the installation of the lovable and oh-so-western Shah Reza Pahlavi to get closer to the start of this sh*tstorm. It’s been downhill ever since. Pity as Iran is a great country with a long history and beautiful culture.

 

This bit was heading uphill....

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA; Persian: برنامه جامع اقدام مشترک‎, romanized: barnāmeye jāme'e eqdāme moshtarak (برجام, BARJAM)),[5][6] known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal or Iran deal, is an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program reached in Vienna on July 14, 2015, between Iran and the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States—plus Germany)[a] together with the European Union.

Formal negotiations toward JCPOA began with the adoption of the Joint Plan of Action, an interim agreement signed between Iran and the P5+1 countries in November 2013. Iran and the P5+1 countries engaged in negotiations for the next 20 months and in April 2015 agreed on a framework for the final agreement. In July 2015 Iran and the P5+1 confirmed agreement on the plan along with the "Roadmap Agreement" between Iran and the IAEA.[9]

Wow, a young and female Picasso.

 

Worried? No.

480 sessions of psychotherapy at 150 a pop should square her away. Wait till she's 13, though. Gives you a chance to save $72K. Plus there will be a whole lot more material to plow through.

 

Seriously! What is that?
