Optional. Not been since May last year sadly. We were planning to go for New Year but they are still confined to their towns and villages in Spain.
I thought you played it really well, adding to the original post and when I got it it really made me laugh. Fortunately I didn't say anything too embarrassing but I was up on my high horse like an idiot. Good stuff.
So i,m assuming that you think the flu vaccine should be mandatory too, i can guarantee that seasonal flu will kill more people in 2021 than the people you speak of, its completely irrelevant anyway because they will be mandatory by stealth, you won,t be able to travel, attend sporting events , music gigs etc unless you have proof of inoculation, even entering pubs/clubs too, they won,t be laws of course but they will tell the people that run these places that if they have a breakout they will be closed down, thus putting the onus on the owners rather than making it look like the government is enforcing it..
I finally got round to watching this. Fantastic, and I feel a right bast*rd for ever having eaten octopus.
Thanks for this Jay, will definitely give this a watch. The last time I was in Italy I was swimming and watched (along with the rest of the beach) a man forcibly drag an octopus out of the sea, struggle with it for a few seconds before beating it to death on the rocks. The most senseless, barbaric act I've ever seen, I'll never forget it. He 'proudly' carried it off down the beach in one hand, holding his young son's hand in the other. Everyone was dumb struck. They're fascinating creatures, but I know very little about them and this series looks great!
It was on news yesterday someone caught a 9 'legged' one. True story. Wonder if they charged a bit extra or threw it in for free?
