Reply to comment by TheNightIsLost in TIL: Zhu Youcheng is the only emperor in Chinese history, to be married to one wife and remain faithful to her, having no concubines. He was a hardworking emperor, lowering taxes, reducing spending, and demonstrating tolerance for Muslims. His son, however, had a haram so large, some starved. by Flares117
That's just a normal occupational hazard for dynastic children.

Reply to comment by AnimusFlux in TIL about Saturnalia - a Roman Holiday held between 17 - 23 December. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere. by TurboBennett
And it was fought by Christians attacking Christmas. Never forget.

If these are the depths you are going to for QB, I bet there is still a little Fitzmagic left in the tank for a game or two.

That's the real kicker. Selling of alcohol at stadiums is a FIFA requirement. Countries bids aren't even allowed to move forward unless they agree to it ( and many, many other requirements). Qatar did and are now altering the agreement at the last minute.
If FIFA had any balls, they would suspend the tournament until Qatar is back in line with their agreement.
