Absolutely true. He was a classic. Indeed, I am, funny enough I read an article about him a couple of weeks ago and I believe he has found God in recent years lucky fellow. Thinking about it. The word of the Lord was never far away from him in the form of Ezra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had something like 20 kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would record tge music from the test card and play it as he walked around. A cowboy obsessed with the test card, Ezra the crazed god botherer and a Polish Nazi living in a tent on the ring road. You can see why I left!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desensitized43 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Really interesting this. I know it’s a bit standard but Battle, 14th October 1066 for me. The day Anglo-Saxon England ended. The opportunity to see a pivotal moment in the history of the country take place and be a witness to a medieval battle. Although, I did once do a bit of reading on this and it turns out that if you go back much farther than the 15th century it would basically be impossible to understand anyone or have any kind of conversation since they wouldn’t be speaking English on anything like a level you would understand. Anyone who’s tried to read any Chaucer will get what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
