OK that was me telling the story by memory. I have now checked the actual story and here it is.

There are a few ways to stop pitch invasions: electric fences, a heavy police presence, or making your team so bad that no fans turn up to run on the field in the first place. But the Romanian fourth division is a rough and ready place. Back in 2003, Steaua Nicolae Balcescu had been threatened with expulsion from the league after a series of pitch invasions and clashes.

Steaua’s chairman, Alexandra Cringus, perhaps showing why the team he was running were in the fourth division rather than the first, decided the best way to stop the hooligans was by building a crocodile-infested moat around the pitch. Because if you can’t build a crocodile-infested moat around the pitch, what’s the point in being in charge of a football club, eh? “This is not a joke,” insisted Cringus. “We can get crocodiles easy enough and feed them on meat from the local abattoir. The ditch is planned to be wide enough that no one could manage to jump over it. Anyone who attempted to do so would have to deal with the crocs. I think that the problem of fans running on to the pitch will be solved once and for all.”

This wasn’t some slapdash plan, though. Cringus had had a good long think about health and safety too: he planned to build the moat far enough from the pitch that players wouldn’t accidentally tumble to their doom. He even thought of the crocs too: Romanian winters can be harsh so the water would be heated by electric pipes. You may not be surprised to discover that local authorities rejected the scheme.

There was once a man in I believe turkey? who bought a football club and wanted to deal with pitch invaders which were quite an issue then.

One day he passes an exotic pet shop and sees alligators in there. Sooo he has a trench dug out around the pitch which he fills with alligators.

A football story I absolutely love.

Ok but his writing style did make philosophy very accessible.

Well I lobe Pakistan the land. It truly feels like home. Wherever I go I feel like this is MINE.

Also just an incredible place geographically, from the worlds highest peaks and plains (deosai and k2) to the worlds largest salt mines (above land) called Kheora, discovered by Alexander the great. Deserts and snow and snowing deserts. Bays and harbours, the sea and one of the biggest rivers.

And incredible wildlife with very special flora and fauna. Literally every kind of geography you could imagine we got.

The indus also was home to the oldest civilisation known, the indus valley. The mughal history I love too, then came the British (sigh).

The government here is certain, its not like the state is weak. But they dont have as far reaching control as a lot of developed countries do. So villages and smaller cities are free from the government in many ways.

Agriculturally incredible, very fertile soil with the Indus bringing nutrient dense soil from the Himalayas.

So many incredible and old languages still exist too. Languages not spoken outside a single village for example.

For Qatar, its a place with a lot of good people. Some of the best people I've met in my life, very multicultural as well. I've lived in a building where every apartment had a family with a different nationality.

Ignoring the few locals who generally target the working class. The public here is very kindly organised. I like the respectful conservative way people exist in public here.

I like the fact that you can come here and just settle in with so many different nationalities or find a subgroup of your own people.

I do love some incredible architecture here too. Some great museums etc have been built. There is a sense of luxury to it all. I like how small the country is (although its grown I'm recent years) you can get to either end in like 40 mins.

In both nations I love the food, in Qatar you can discover a lot of non Arab food too with how multicultural it is.

Also Qatar has without a shadow of a doubt the best KFC/ fried chicken in the world and I'm not even exaggerating.

Last I remember she was imprisoned
