At the height of the Roman empire over half of their troops were auxillaries, non-Romans who fought alongside the Roman legionaries. Among the most famous of these were the Syrian archers. History repeating itself...

A study of the phenomenon that was Hedge Porn. Oh for simpler times... https://inews.co.uk/opinion/hedge-porn-first-data-set-collected-learn-people-experiences-1495384

This Nick Candy? Seems like a perfect match...

Who Are Ya? 9 2/8 After the first guess it couldn't really be anyone else.

No, we've been bending the knee to protest against racism, not to honour an American political organisation. This really has been covered a huge number of times and I'm surprised that you are still confused (but good to hear that you've been bending your knee.)

Whataboutery, a strawman argument and extreme hyperbole in such a short space. Well done! I take it you won't be posting about anything apart from Ukraine until that is sorted out?

Definitely only used to be. The principle of adverse posession which meant that you could claim land as long as you had occupied it for 12 years was done away with in 2003. It is now almost impossible to get land registered to someone else in this way. (I found this out when I tried to pinch a...

With that method, you might still have a choice of anagrams and fail. Hard mode just introduces a greater element of chance.

You have to use letters that have come up yellow or green and the green ones have to stay in the same place. So if your original guess was the Wordle favourite SOARE and you got 🟩⬛🟩🟩🟩 In hard mode you would have to pick from H, T, P or C for the second letter but you wouldn't be able to change...

I have got the last six (including today's) in three. Yes, you need a bit of luck but not a huge amount. The only day I didn't get it in four or fewer over the past three weeks was when my wife got it in two and so I tried to beat her by guessing early and ended up with a five. Having said...

You can decide to guess, in which case it is just luck, or you can decide to take a turn to eliminate a number of possibilities in which case there is an element of skill.

Are you all on hard mode? If not that was a gettable three and a solid four.

That he was colour-blind or that he had made a podcast that was anything but dull?

El Presidente is colour blind and did a really good interview on his Price of Football podcast on Sept 21st last year. Well worth a listen.

That surprised me so I checked... Old Trafford 105m x 68m Amex 105m x 69m Apparently they are all pretty much the same size in the Premier League these days.

He's been loaned twice - both times to Premier League teams. BDB has not always received rave reviews - until recently there was a significant section of the Brighton supporters who would have offered to drive him to Newcastle. The point is that £13m is not what you would pay for a "mid-range...

Really? How much would you pay for a current Premier League defender, 27 years old, capped by England, who can play wing back or centre back? Villa paid £2 million for Calum Chambers...

Just seen I'm top of the table...NY Times related doping I'm afraid :blush:. I got another three today so techcnically I'm still on three but, unlike Dazzer I didn't have a spreadsheet so not 100% sure but my my real average must now be about 3.82

And also emphasises that everyone from Leeds down is far from safe.
