    Pouquoii? Rip off prices, lots of "pilgrims," poor transportation, Lazio fans? Funnily enough, some students that I am teaching are going to Rome.

    Exactly!! Day time temperatura are around 18-20, nights around 10 near the coast but cooler inland, certainly in Mallorca. But in Menorca the furthest you are from the sea is aound 6km For those interested in History the island is full of Talyots which are the remains of civilisations that came to and inhabited the island and left their mark over the millenia before Julius Caesar appeared on the scene.

    A book I read about the events leading up to that fateful day, and also the song Vehicle by the Ides of March. Head over to the music thread and I shall put a link there. It was out a the time of the Mexico World Cup, so obvioiusly brings back memories of the best international side ever to grace the planet with the best ever player.

    It was certainly dynamic in the Western World with students protests, the riots in US cities, growing awareness of Civil Rights both in the US and in Northern Ireland, the right of the individual started to come to the fore. The world became aware of the injustices of apartheid as well. We saw the end of the tripartitie system of education. Some will think this was bad, many of us may think otherwise. Harold Wilson made higher educaton accesible for all with the launch of the Open University. Throw in some great music. The other period that matches the late 60s are the late 80s and early 90s with all that happened in Eastern Europe and South Africa, the end of Thatcher, the poll tax riots and a new wave of music and comedy emerging after the relative conservatism of the Thatcher-Reagan era.

    I was leaning more towards 44bc, but I'm very open minded when it comes to learning about all ages of mankind.

    So remember the ref sian massey who made history as the first female PL ref during which time Andy Grey and Richard keys got sacked from sky sports for sexist comments? Well I work in a school and I found out the other day that she used to be a pe teacher at the school, even during the time she was reffing PL games. Cool coincidence eh?
