A) Has anyone worked out how to watch this from the uk? B) is it any good? A) No. B) No. I went to their Cup Final a couple of years ago.

Re: Classic Rock Tracks for Old Farts
Saw Focus last month at The Band on the Wall in Manchester. On their 50th anniversary tour. Sat upstairs and looking at the audience downstairs was like being in a monastery!

Re: Magic Numbers 2019-20 ...
Sort of. It works as if every team takes 3 points from every game + 1 extra point for potential goal difference. That number will decrease for each team as the season goes on until, hopefully, 3 teams move to 0 or below which means that they cannot attain the number of points Burnley have gained at...

Re: Japan
Would love to stop at a random small town somewhere... I went to Matsue on the northwest coast of Honshu. I was not the only tourist there I'm sure. But I didn't see any others. I'm not recommending it specifically- that would defeat the object - but that was among my favourite couple of days so ye...

Re: Japan
I’m sure it’s an interesting culture and country. Are the Japanese people ashamed of how they treated POWs to barbaric torture or don’t they acknowledge this ?

Barcelona is a great city but there are a lot of pickpockets and distraction thieves operating.
