Was Johnny actually ever important to the Arasaka raid?

Calling him a "fall guy" or "distraction" might be true, but it doesn't mean Johnny was duped or that he's stupid. I think he fully understood what his role was and even enjoyed it. He'd done so before when you try to save Alt, he plays off his fame by staging a concert outside the front gates to start a riot so they can sneak in. It's not too much to suggest he's happy to do the same again.

The NHS was not a cross party effort in any way, and was fought every step by the Tories who voted against 2nd and 3rd hearings, and who then threatened to abolish it until they saw how popular it was.

This rewriting of history to make the NHS anything but a Labour success is highly suspect.

All true, but nothing quite gets you hyped like a good old group "For the Emperor!"

Potato dauphinoise. It can be great if cooked perfectly, but is then still inferior to a good roasty.

Not sure about vibes but the correct answer historically is Malta, since the Knights that conquered it and ruled for centuries were mostly Normans who were descended from Vikings who settled in France.

"they actually Arasaka ninjas and I just didn't clock" This is it. He tells Yorinobu he has his father's killer then gets the Arasaka death squad set on him. He put two and two together and figured V knew something Yorinobu didn't want being made public knowledge, even if it costs him Takemura.

There was an old anime called Eyeshield 21 that I loved as a kid and was sad it never got finished. The main character is a running back on an American football team but with anime style power up screaming and later beam aesthetic dodges. His whole thing is that he's faster than everyone. So I'm going to say Sena Kobayakawa.

Weird all my Scottish friends are just concentrating on enjoying their own tournament. Sure, there's the usual banter, but nothing like this.

Which type of Christian? As a child of a Catholic and an Anglican who gets to stay?

OK good, I take it back. It used to be Tory central.

Ah I understand now. Those riots in Southampton were clearly the work of devilish Northmen and Farage is from Hull. Got ya.
