Georgia Harrison 'regrets' tribute in the wake of Jake McLean's death and insists they were in a 'serious relationship'

Shirtless David Beckham showcases his ripped physique while chic Victoria dons black crop top as they enjoy yacht trip 'Mustafa, my brother, who is this terrifying vision before us? See how she defies mighty China! That voice, so angular, so piercing: aieeee! Let us flee, my friend.' And with that, the devils of Isis run for the horizon, leaving their goat curry bubbling on the camp fire. But yesterday, I fancy, their wheezes and cackles will have died on their lips as they examined this new Shadow Defence Secretary, this Eagle, this one-woman argument for the burkha. When they see Mr Fallon on parade, how they must chuckle at his unrealistic boasts about British military heft. In the caves of Tora Bora or the souks of Syria or wherever it is (West Bromwich? Castle Combe?) that Britain's enemies these days suck their betel nut-stained teeth and plot revenge on the infidel, they presumably watch the BBC Parliament Channel as closely as the rest of us. With the Chinese president about to arrive on a state visit, this was deliciously undiplomatic – and rather effective. She scored runs yesterday by taking a tilt at the Chinese as a cyber-warfare threat. She is arguably the less glamorous of these pin-ups, her wardrobe owing more to old British Rail upholsterings than to Fenwick's Ladies' Fashions.

Mr Cameron has never become over-fond of Mr Grayling. If he did any of these things, I missed them.Īs any good stockman knows, there comes a time when you have to despatch the older, less productive beasts to the slaughter-house and it is easier to do that if you have not given them a human name and come to like them. He may well have cuddled him and pinched his cheeks and said 'loving your work, Chris'. Mr Cameron may well have beamed a smile at this doomed Dobbin. The Grayling brow was corrugated by frowns which looked like isobars on a stormy weather map.

įollowing his death, political infighting and a lack of good leadership in the Roman Empire led to the "Limes Sarmatiae" being overrun and destroyed. However, during an audience with an embassy from the Quadi at Brigetio on the River Danube (now Szőny in Hungary), the attitude of the envoys so enraged Valentinian that he suffered a stroke while angrily yelling at them, which led to his death 17 November. After a short campaign that quickly defeated the Quadi, the fortifications of the "Limes Sarmatiae" were repaired. In 375, emperor Valentinian I retook Pannonia with several legions. Indeed, in 374 AD, the Quadi, a Germanic tribe in what is now Moravia and Slovakia, resenting the erection of Roman forts of the "Limes Sarmatiae" to the north and east of the Danube in what they considered to be their territory, and further exasperated by the treacherous murder of their king, Gabinius, crossed the river and laid waste to the province of Pannonia. It was, however, destroyed after a few years, at the end of the 4th century. The "Limes Sarmatiae" was intended to expand the Roman Limes, and was built at the same time as the Constantine Wall in Wallachia (connected to the Limes Moesiae). Some elements of the fortifications, however, date from the 2nd century AD, and probably constituted an earlier defensive line constructed under emperor Marcus Aurelius (ruled 161–180) at the time of the Marcomannic Wars, the previous occasion that the Tisza plain was occupied by the Romans. They were probably designed to protect the Iazyges, a Sarmatian tribe that inhabited the Tisza plain and had been reduced to tributary status by Constantine, from incursions by the surrounding Goths and Gepids. They stretched from Aquincum (within modern Budapest) eastwards along the line of the northern Carpathian mountains to the vicinity of Debrecen, and then southwards to Viminacium (near modern Stari Kostolac).

The fortifications consisted of a series of defensive earthen ramparts-and-ditches surrounding the plain of the Tisia ( Tisza) river.
