Was at the Lions game at the Optus in Perth. Great stadium but because it's an AFL oval, the pitch is an awful long way away especially at the sides, spend your time looking at the screens to see what's actually going on. Doesn't work for me

+1 on that, I honestly don't know anybody in my rugby circle ib Ireland who gives two shits about the Lions, all this pinnacle of career guff is so much nonsense. And I'm a 70+yo, but my nephews and son feel exactly the same way

Just off the coast of Venice lies an island so feared, locals refuse to set foot on it. Fishermen won’t sail near it. Tourists aren’t allowed. And for good reason. This is the terrifying story of Poveglia Island, one of Italy’s most haunted places: A Halloween themed
