In parts of the medieval Holy Roman Empire, husbands and wives could have a legal fight, called a marital duel, to solve their arguments.
Interestingly, the husband had to fight in a hole and with one arm tied. The wife could move around freely but had to carry weighted cloth. Her weapon was usually a bag filled with rocks, while the man got three clubs. If he touched the hole's edge during the fight, he lost one club.
Before the fight, couples were given a month or two to try and solve their problems. If they couldn't agree, then the duel would happen. If the husband lost, his head would be cut off. If the wife lost, she would be buried alive.
@countyscarf Really embarrassed as a Chester supporter. If the above is true @BrackleyTownFC, I’d like to pay for that 5 year olds ticket for the final and buy him a shirt from your shop. Can that be arranged?
Impromptu game of CO2: Second Chance by @vitallacerda over the weekend. Glad we played a co-op as not getting completely destroyed by the wife made a nice change…
Looking forward to @AlloaHalf on Sunday. I only ever ask for a donation for a sponsorship in exceptional circumstances so if you can, anything will be appreciated so much. But I know many people can’t at this time.

There are very few good father role models in society. However, Bluey's Dad has turned my life around. I am genuinely a better father and husband now I pause and think, what would Bluey's Dad do.
