I think there was something about this on the radio the other - either an advert or a conversation about how women don't realise how often men think about the Roman Empire... weird.... and not helped by the fact I can't remember if it was an ad, that I'll likely hear again, or just a weird radio presenter conversation.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Roman empire = typical male behaviour = incest = murder of siblings. Oh the joys. I do hope thinking about the roman empire was not supposed to be a good thing. Well apart from the one played by Derek Jacobi anyway.

Just had one of my best bonuses for a longitudinal study - c. £27. I've just passed £1,000
