The old theme felt comforting to me. The new one sounds like itās from a kids news show on Nick Jr.
That being said, a lot of the hue and cry over this just seems to be people who are set in their ways. The old theme getting phased out is no big deal. I just wish they replaced it with something that didnāt suck.

There are much worse things that you could do while drunk.

Coin expert Julian Bowsher, of MOLA Headland Infrastructure, said: āRoman emperors were very keen to mint coins - Laelianus reigned for just two months which is barely enough time to do so. The fact that one of these coins ever reached the shores of Britain demonstrates remarkable efficiency and thereās every chance that Laelianus had been killed by the time this coin arrived in Cambridgeshire.ā
Another unusual coin discovered during the dig was a Gallic War Uniface coin, minted in 57BC by the Ambiani tribe in the Somme area of modern-day France. Experts believe it was exported to help fund the British Celtic resistance to Julius Caesar.
The A14 roadworks have also uncovered the remains of an Ice Age woolly mammoth and evidence of beer brewing dating to about 400BC.
It has also unearthed prehistoric henges, Iron Age settlements, Roman kilns, three Anglo-Saxon villages and a medieval hamlet.

My professor of Roman History is one of the top coin collectors of Roman coins. He frequently brought in slides of his collection and showed how the artwork on the coins reflected the images the emperors were trying to project to the public.
To hear his EXCELLENT and amazing lectures, he is one of the top sellers on The Great Courses site - anything by Kenneth Harl.

p.s., Anything with Pagans in it is going to be the better pick. He is very pro-Pagan.

Limited edition this time, so it wonāt nearly destroy the company this timeā¦ though it might test the limits of nostalgia! But at the same time, its limited edition, so people might rush right out and try to find the special vending machinesā¦ I guess, given my proximity, if I were so inclined, I could get tickets for the world of coke to get someā¦
Iām actually a little more excited by the glass bottles for coke and coke zero.

In the summer of 1985, not only did I lose original Coke, but my right to drink beer was rescinded too (phasing in the new drinking laws).
Not only my problems, but so much crap about that year.
At least now Iām drinking liters of Mexican Coke at only 75 cents a pop.
