A/N: I know I said that its a whole one shot only but I don't think that I can do it. I have to cut it because there is a lot of history. I hope you all enjoy.

2005, Circuito de Jerez

The earliest memory that Y/N has of Sebastian Vettel was watching him test the Williams-BMW car.

It was her first time accompanying Mark and she was still grasping some of the key concepts of Formula 1 when Sebastian headed to the car. She watched how he drives and how the team were discussing about how he is a potential driver for the seasons to come.

"You know Seb is just a year older than you" Nico Rosberg, who has been keeping you company for the testing that afternoon, stated.

"Then that will make him the youngest driver if he enters Formula 1"Y/N mused.

Y/N didn't know but she was pretty excited to see him on track. She knew that this Sebastian will change a lot of things in F1 and will probably make history. At the same time, she can't help but be a bit worried since its a dangerous sports. One second you can be living the dream and then the next you find yourself recovering in a hospital room.

Sebastian Vettel gets out of the car and lifts his visor. There was a certain spark in his eyes that Y/N didn't miss out. Its the spark that showcase how much he loved to race.

Y/N didn't miss how her heart skipped a beat.

2006, Istanbul Park

The next time that Y/N sees Sebastian Vettel was during the free practice. He was a Friday driver for BMW-Sauber and he is as impressive as the day she first saw him in Spain.

"That kid just set out the fastest lap" her brother, Mark was shocked by the time set by Sebastian.

"That kid has a name" Y/N stated "and its Sebastian"

"Oh how come you are so informed about this missy?" he wondered

"He drove with you in testing season last year remember" Y/N replied.

The replay on the screen showcases the bold moves that were made by Sebastian. It was like he was driving like he is a man on a mission. If Y/N will bet, there is a lot of teams that will be shortlisting his name to their team.

"What do you think about him?"

"A little bit of reckless, I mean 6 seconds in your formula 1 career and you already have a penalty. There must be some kind of record for that" Mark was referring to the speeding penalty that Sebastian received as soon as he left the garage.

Y/N mumbles a small hmm as she continues to watch how Sebastian moves around the track. She was sure that sooner or later, she might see Sebastian more often.

2007, Albert Park

Fridays aren't too crowded as the Sunday races but still there was a bit of pressure in Sebastian Vettel's shoulder as he entered Albert Park.

He walked the paddocks and tried to visualize himself not just a Friday driver but an actual driver for the Sunday races. He pictures the screaming crowd chanting his name, the smell of burning rubber, radio messages from the team, and even being at the podium with the champagne.

In his daydreaming, he didn't realize that he bumped into someone. All he saw was that a girl was down on the ground with papers all over.

"I'm terribly sorry. I was not looking where I was going" he apologized.

"I'm equally at fault too"The woman assured "It was not wise to type and walk especially since this whole place is swarming with people"

Sebastian helped the girl compiling the papers and he noticed how the papers seem to be like contract for sponsorship. He looked at her and tried to identify which team did she belong to but her lack of team merchandise makes it difficult.

"You're new here?"he tries to decode.

"No, I'm not. I've been coming here since 5 years ago" there was an accent in her voice. Australian, if Sebastian was right.

"Huh, you must know your way around this whole place"

She takes a closer look at him, "You're that rookie Sebastian Vettel"

Now Sebastian doesn't have a huge following that he knows of and this is probably the first time that someone outside the family knew about him. Now, he felt even more curious about the girl.

"How did you know my name"

"Hard not to especially when you set a record to having the fastest penalty in their f1 career" she joked.

Normally Sebastian will be annoyed by the reminder of his mistake last year. He choose to forget that small mishap and avoid talking about it. But this time, he felt like the giggling is contagious that he can't help but smile when talking about his mistake.

"I assure you that I'm a much more better driver now" he states, holding up his hand as if saying that he swears he is a better a driver now.

"Hoping to see you deliver Vettel" she grins.

The girl started walking away from Sebastian when it occured to him that he didn't even know her name. He rushed to catch up with her.

"Wait, I didn't get your name"

She looked at him and there seems to be a slight hesitation

"If we meet again in a formula 1 race then I'll tell you my name" then the girl walked out of his sight.

2007, Indianopolis track.

It seems that luck has been on Y/N's side because she managed to avoid Sebastian during the past races. But it seems as if this luck is running out slowly since they are bound to meet up this weekend as Sebastian was bumped from reserve driver to formula 1 driver due to the injury that Kubica sustained in Canada.

She was hanging out at one of the coffee machines when she felt somebody tap her shoulder. She gave him a smile upon recognizing him.

"Sebastian Vettel, shouldn't you be preparing in your f1 car now?"

There was a loopy grin on his face, "Mystery woman, I was beginning to think if you are just a figment of my imagination.

Y/N pressed the hot cup to his hands, "I'm very much real and not just a figment of your mind"

"So will you tell me now your name?" Sebastian wondered. He has to admit that it has been bugging him for weeks on end about who this mystery woman is. He even went to ask around the paddock but his description was very vague and no one could help him.

"Its Y/N, nice to meet you" Purposely leaving out the last name.

In Y/N's mind it was just a safety pre-caution to leave out her last name. It was for her own good as well because people tend to act differently once they hear about your big brother or your connection to the sports. For once in her life, Y/N wants to be seen as just Y/N.

Maybe she just want to prolong this little charade for a little while longer.

"Y/N nice to finally meet you"

2007, Nürburgring

Maybe its the home turf advantage that boosted his confidence but Sebastian managed to ask Y/N if she would like a tour around the place. Thankfully, she agreed. Sebastian was already blabbering about the places that they have to get to and Y/N had to remind him that they're not staying for a vacation.

He will tell you that he is not freaking out but he prepared for the whole afternoon. He even asked his mother what outfit should he wear to make it seem like a casual hangout. In his defense, he never had a lot of friends growing up and he certainly didn't have beautiful australian girls around.

"You know you don't have to bring me flowers, were just touring around"

It was his idea to bring flowers because he often sees it in airports. When someone new is in town, they bring them flowers. He felt like the orange gerberas were a good pick as advised by the florist he knows.

"But the flowers made you smile" Sebastian grinned "I'm more than pleased to have a happy tourist to tour around"

Then two engaged in a conversation about their early life. Sebastian shared stories of the town he grew up in and his stories of motorsports.Y/N, on the other hand, listened and shared some bits of her life in Australia before she traveled around the world.

Eventually the duo ended up in an orange farm, where they picked out oranges and waited for the sunrise to set in the horizon. It was a core memory that they will share with one naother.

"We should do this again sometime"Y/N suggested

"Its a breather for you and I" Sebastian agreed "Away from all the lavishness of F1 and the pressure of the sports"

"Sounds like you wanted to run away with me"

"Who wouldn't want to run away with someone like you?"

2007, Fuji Speedway.

The past few weeks has been stressful for the Webber siblings. The articles published by some news sites seems to be getting on Mark's last nerve. Everyone seems to be taunting him about how he is over a hundred of race starts already but then he still haven't won anything. The pressure is high and Mark was determined to prove them wrong.

"Mark just don't do anything stupid okay?" Y/N begs.

She watches as Mark suit up for the next race. She was already used to her brother racing but she knew this race was a little different since her brother wanted to win.

"I'm not going to be stupid Y/N, I'll drive good today and I'll get that win that they want"Mark grumbled.

Y/N handed the helmet to her brother, "Just stay safe, I don't want to lose you"

"I'll come back safe"

The race went underway and as usual, Y/N watches it in the comforts of the driver's room. She did not want too many attention focused on her and she felt like her heart might actually come out of her rib cage if she watches it on the stands.

Japan's wet races gives Y/N a heavy feeling that something bad might happen. Her heart beats rapidly as she watches cars after cars spin out or crash. She prays that none of them was Mark. or Sebastian.

There was 20 laps to go when her ears started ringing that a Red Bull has been rear-ended by a Toro Rosso.

'Please don't let it be Mark and Seb. Please don't let it be Mark and Seb'

But the voices in the Red Bull pitlanes and the storming voices of Mark confirms her worst nightmare.

"That kid is so stupid, he shouldn't have been allowed to drive" Mark roared "I had that in the bag, I was going to win"

Y/N immediately hugged her brother, "Its alright, the win will be coming soon Mark. What matters is you are safe"

There were frustrated tears from Mark as he cried in the embrace of his sister. Privacy was given to the siblings as the race continues on. She was so focused on her brother that she didn't notice that there were several messages in her phone.

Seb: Where are you? Seb: I messed up my race and Webber. Seb: Call me when you get this. Please?

2007, Shanghai International Circuit

It felt like a heavy weight on Sebastian's shoulder after he messed up. He kept on blaming himself that he did not just mess up his own race but he also messed up Webber's race. It did not help that Y/N was not replying.

The media has also been eating him up with the way that Webber responded to him. He was called a kid that did not have enough experience. It stings a lot but now he has to put up a brave face and just race.

"SEB! SEB!"

Sebastian looked back and he saw Y/N. There was no hesitation in him but he immediately hugged her. It was the only time ever since Japan that people aren't mad at him or hounding him for questions. He felt at ease to be with Y/N.

"Where have you been, I have been messaging you over the weekend"

"I'm here now, aren't I?" Y/N says "And before I forget, I made you this as a token of my apology"

In her hand, she has a paper bag. Sebastian's curiosity is piqued upon looking at the contents inside the bag. There was a tupperware with food and a sticky note in a messy handwriting "for sebastian vettel, you can do it."

"You cook?"

"I don't but hey its the thought that counts. I figure that you might need-"

Y/N doesn't have to explain a lot because Sebastian already appreciated the gesture. He hugged her again and it seems like everything just got a little bit lighter for Sebastian that weekend.

It wasn't Sebastian's weekend at all but remembering the little note, that was tucked inside his helmet, he felt a lot better. He can bounce back next season.

2008,  Autodromo Nazionale di Monza

This was the internal dilemma of being Sebastian's friend and being Mark's sister. The two of them are in different side of the coins for this season. Two drivers shared the same family with Toro Rosso being the sister family of Red Bull but it seems like that's their only similarity.

Then there was the mixed emotion. Of course, Y/N was proud of Sebastian because he is slowly improving and shining with every grand prix. She was always elated when they see each other post-qualifying or post-race at the hotel rooftop (it has been their common knowledge that they will meet up there so that they can get fresh air together). On the other hand, Y/N knows about the pressure that it is being placed with her brother. Mark has been declining and losing hope for a maiden win. He has been in the sports for some time and he believes his time should have arrived by now but he lost opportunity after opportunity.

Y/N can't fault anyone for this one. Both of them just wanted to achieve their dreams. She wished everything does not have to escalate but here they are in the 2008 Monza Grand Prix.

Sebastian Vettel was starting on pole while Mark was starting third. Everyone is buzzing about the possibility that Toro Rosso might clinch a first win before Red Bull. It was something that Y/N knew bugged Mark's mind.

It didn't help that it was a rainy start and it sort of brought her back to Japan 2007. She was not an overly religious person but she prayed to any higher being to please don't let Mark and Sebastian crash with each other again.

The race went underway and the rain was not as heavy as Japan. Still there was some crashes and some spin. But Y/N felt the conflict of emotions start again upon seeing how Mark started to drop places while Sebastian pulled away from the rest.

Y/N went out of the driver room when it was nearing the end of the lap. She didn't know whether she should run and congratulate Sebastian or she should stay behind and comfort his brother.

Of course, blood is thicker than water.

Mark looks absolutely defeated as people started to ask him about how he is feeling when their sister group got its first win before them or how did he manage to mess up his 3rd position to eight.

"Just please give him some space, we will be answering the questions later" Y/N stepped up. Right now she was not Mark's sister but rather Mark's assistant.

Y/N helped Mark to go back to his driver's room so he can get a few minutes to himself before he gets questioned by the media again.

"It feels like shit. I feel like I can't do anything right" Mark threw his gloves across the room.

"It wasn't your time yet Mark" Y/N replied. Its like a broken record at this point which frustrates Mark.

"Then when will it be my time? Sebastian has been here for just a year or so and he already have a grand prix victory"

Y/N knew that this was the dam breaking. No words can comfort her brother right now so she just went to give him a hug. She could only wish in silence that Mark gets his win eventually.

On the other side of the paddock, there was cheering. Sebastian Vettel was in cloud 9 as he saw the Toro Rosso mechanics and engineers calls out his name. Everyone was in full party mode that they have even tossed Sebastian up in the air.

Everyone wanted to talk to him. They wanted to ask him about how he is feeling or how he created history today. He was the youngest driver to have a maiden win and the first one to bring victory to Toro Rosso.

But Sebastian eyes seem to search for someone in the crowd. He wouldn't voice it out but there was a certain woman he was hoping to see when he stepped into the podium. It had a slight twinge in his heart but the roaring crowd silenced that feeling.

'Maybe I'll see her later' Sebastian thought.

However, there was no Y/N in sight for the rest of the weekend.

2008, Marina Bay Street Circuit

Sebastian was still experiencing the highs of his Monza win and the Singapore GP has also been a good race for him. He might not have a podium finish but 5th was good enough. However if there was one thing that bothered Sebastian was the lack of Y/N sightings.

He tried messaging her after Monza but there was no reply. He thinks its probably weird that he didn't even get a congratulations because surely Y/N would know about it. There might be a couple of reasons why she didn't see it which is a) she was sick or b) she resigned.

Sebastian was gunning for the first choice because surely Y/N won't just resign without saying goodbye.

So imagine his surprise when he saw the woman that has been bugging his mind at the exit of the pitlane.

"You could have answered my texts you know" that was Sebastian's greeting to her

Y/N seems to be caught off-guard by Sebastian's presence. She was still in her work outfit Sebastian takes note as she was carrying a tote bag.

"I'm sorry. It just got a little busy for me"

Sebastian nods, he understands how having a job here is quite difficult. He could not fault her for that.

"Why not lets celebrate? I won in Monza and I finished fifth here"Sebastian offered "Consider it as your make up dinner for not congratulating me"

There was that hesitant smile gracing her face again and it reminded Sebastian of the first time she didn't tell her name. She seems extremely conflicted.

"Seb I would love to but I still have to do some work and-"

"Y/N, there you are"

Sebastian and Y/N whipped their head to the source of the voice. Mark Webber started walking towards them. It confused Sebastian as to why he knew Y/N but then he remembered that Mark was probably the one that Y/N has been working with.

"I told you to wait for me"Mark says as he picked up the bag of Y/N "I was just fixing some things with Christian"

"I can carry my stuffs myself Mark" Y/N replied

"But you have been walking in your heels the whole day, it's going to make you cranky sooner or later" Mark quipped back.

Now this confused Sebastian. It seems like their dynamics is not just work related but rather something personal. He also felt like he has missed a whole chapter and he feels very invisible at the moment.

"You two know each other?"Sebastian managed to ask.

There was a panic in Y/N eyes as if she wanted to explain but it was Mark that beat her to it.

"Of course, I know her" Mark admitted "Why wouldn't I know my sister?"

And it was that moment that Sebastian pieced out why she haven't been able to message him or why she was MIA as well in Japan. He felt stupid because he never inquired why she didn't give out her last name or why she was booked at the same hotel as the drivers.

Great just fucking great.

2008, Interlagos

It was eating her alive that Sebastian is not in speaking terms with her.

In hindsight, she understands that sooner or later, she has to tell him about who really is. She just didn't know that it will be as early and as unprepared as what happened in Singapore. She also got an earful from Mark who questioned how did she manage to meet Sebastian and why does it seem like the two are close with each other.

Honestly, she can't wait for the season to be over so that she can rest from all the drama but she knows that she has to make amends before winter break starts.

And so she slipped to the Toro Rosso garage, under the disguise that as Mark's assistant, she has to talk to Sebastian. So here she is in Sebastian's driver room, waiting for him to arrive.

"Can't I deal with this after-"Sebastian immediately stopped in his tracks upon seeing Y/N "Oh its you"

Silence enveloped the two of them. Y/N has a practiced script in her head but no words doesn't want to come out.

"I'm giving you five minutes or I'm kicking you out" Sebastian warned.

"I just came here to say that I am sorry. It wasn't really my intention to deceive you. I just wanted to be friends with you without my last name being too intimidating. I know that its terrible but I was going to tell you my name someday but Mark just got into the way and its all shit"

She was word-vomitting, she was sure of it. But hey its better than keeping everything as a burden on the shoulders.

"Say something please?" Y/N wondered with Sebastian's silence.

"You could have told me, don't you trust me?"

"I trust you Sebastian. Its just, its really complicated to be seen as Mark's sister or Mark's assistant. I just want to be just Y/N when I'm with you"Y/N sighs.

Y/N felt bummed as she thought she could fix this before winter break starts but she knows he might need some time.

"I know that its not easy to forgive me. Its selfish of me to do that so I won't force you to forgive me" she says "I'll give you some time to collect your thoughts"

Y/N reached out for the door when she felt a hand tugging her back. She saw Sebastian reaching out.

"Just give me some time"

"I will. Don't worry" she understands "I have to say I'm really proud of you this season. You did well Seb"

There was that silence when Sebastian held her. She knows things are far from okay and there is the upcoming season that has the possibility of Sebastian being upgraded to Red Bull but in this moment, none of that matters. Its just them. Just Y/N and Seb.

[lalatoearth]

I’m thinking of writing a fic in which gojo is forced to go on a mission outside of Japan to get him out of his post geto slump, an x reader kind of thing set in Spain 🫨

Here’s the opening :p

Word count: 1.5k

Tokyo, 2007

How long had it been? It was another weekend, one of many where Satoru found himself left with the same question: "How long has it been?" Inevitably followed by, “What's next?"

Since he left what has Satoru become? What has he done? Mission after mission after mission. He was earning good money now but money for what? Never thinking he needed a vision for the future he was now left wondering if he had a future. What is the future? Tomorrows present. The unimaginable. Change. He hated change.

He rolled over, pulling the comforter with him. He was face to face with 11:38. The red lights of the clock drove their way into his eyes angrily in the dark room. Behind the curtains light was threatening to spill in at the peak of the day. The day. Sunday. Maybe he deserved this rest. Why is it that every minute past 9am feels selfish to spend alone, especially for him. How was he selfish?

He rolled back over to face the wall. 5 minutes then he’d go and see Shoko. 5 minutes and Haibara’s and Suguru’s rooms are still empty. Suguru. 5 minutes and he’ll still have to travel halfway across the country tomorrow.

There were two sharp and firm knocks on his door. Yaga. Yaga and a new mission. The door opened despite him giving no permission. “What if I was sleeping naked?” He squinted his eyes at the brightness now flooding the room.

“Good thing you weren’t,” Yaga said leaning against the door frame. “I have a-”

“Mission?” Satoru laid his forearm over his eyes and flopped back onto his pillow.

“How’d you know? Meet me in my office in ten minutes to discuss,” He said before leaving.

With big plans to go back to bed, Gojo went to Yaga’s office in his pajamas— basketball shorts and a discolored white T shirt. Outside, the leaves had been long gone from trees, having slipped away with the summer long ago leaving bare, spiky abundances of branches dotted about the campus. January really was the most depressing month of the year.

"I want you to let me finish speaking before you say anything," Yaga began. "An opportunity has come up for a mission abroad. You would be sent to Spain, accompanied by me and two sorcerers from the US, to exorcize a curse that has been causing issues in Europe for a while. Ever heard of El Cuco?"

"El who?"

"It's a folktale in Spain that's been causing problems. Even after being defeated 400 years ago, it's been reborn because all the kids are shit scared of this story," Yaga turned his computer to display images of a creature that looked almost like a shadow, a looming dark entity. "This is how it's portrayed, but obviously we have no idea how it actually looks. The objective is to find out what it is and where it resides."

"How many casualties?" Satoru leaned forward, studying the image.

"A suspected seventy in the last two years. All kids."

"Holy sh— crap."

"Would you be up for it?"

He paused. "Maybe."

"Well, let me know by tomorrow so I can sort out the arrangements. Now get out, I have stuff to do," Yaga took back his laptop and suddenly pretended that Satoru was no longer in the room.

Spain, huh? He’d never been outside Japan. The exploration aspect enticed him but being stuck abroad with Yaga and two randoms repulsed him all the same. What if Yaga was a Speedo kind of guy? Ew.

Satoru sensed someone approaching from the opposite direction, even as he studied the grooves in the wooden floor. It was Nanami—the passing shoes confirmed it. Satoru cast an over-the-shoulder glance as the first-year strode through the hall. Normally, he'd be with Haibara, but Haibara was gone now. Dead.

Thoughts of Haibara inevitably led to Suguru. If Suguru were dead too, perhaps Satoru could move on. But the possibility that Suguru was out there somewhere, likely having forgotten about Satoru, left him frustrated and without closure.

The vending machine caught his eye, its rows filled with an array of candies and drinks. He noticed a few new additions among the familiar options. Satoru inserted his coins into the slot and pressed the flashing button. The machine's light whirring was the only sound. Just as his cola was about to drop, the machine stopped.

“You’re kidding me,” he groaned and kicked the machine “fuck!” He clutched his toe and took a deep breath. He was going to Spain.

~

Alaska, 2007

The air was chilly, the large gym being too selfish to retain any warmth given from the pathetic heater plugged into the wall next to you. The sound of squeaking shoes echoed through the hall as you watched your fellow juniors practice sparring.

You hated them all.

While most sorcerers techniques bloomed at age 4, you were now 17 still left bitterly hanging onto a thread of hope. You knew you could see curses, you had cursed energy and could use it but while everyone had near mastered their innate techniques you were almost certain you didn’t have one. Still being 4th grade while your peers— even the freshman— were majority 2nd was embarrassing. It was a barrier that kept you and them more and more separated as time carried on.

“Okay everyone, let’s cool down and regroup! I’ll see you in fifteen.” Said Theodora. She was a professional woman that stood tall with blazing red hair and rectangular glasses. She was your mentor, your friend and your guardian and you hated when she gave the others attention.

You didn’t wait for the others to cooldown and instead headed straight for the main building. It was small, far smaller than average high schools. The Alaskan academy of sorcery had only 13 students in total across the 4 grades.

“Y/n, you didn’t cool down,” Theodora tilted her head up from her desk to look at you above her glasses.

“No need to,” you said, taking a seat with a yawn.

“You didn’t join in,” she said.

“Uhm… no,” you tried looking in your desk for something you weren’t even sure was there. You knew your lousy attempt at diverting the conversation had failed when you were met with the stern gaze of Theodora Stuart.

“You can’t just slack off because of your own problems I’m afraid,” she said.

“Tell that to the others that hardly include me! Cmon. Tell me you haven’t noticed,” you said. As if on queue, the door swung open and your two classmates, Georgia and Kayson, walked in, oblivious to the conversation that you were having. Theodora gave you a final look. One that said “we’re going to be talking about this later.” And you prayed she’d forget.

“I’ve arranged for one of you accompanied by myself to go on a mission in Spain. It would be in June so it’s gonna be taken out of your summer break, bear in mind.” She clicked on her projector from the back of the class and images of a curse appeared. “This is El Cuco. A curse that was present around 400 years ago in continental Europe, known for killing children and has sprouted up again.”

“Why’s it back?” Kayson asked.

“After the curse was defeated, it became a folktale that parents would tell their kids. Its cursed energy must’ve never really been finished off because it’s regained majority strength through fear.” The three of you looked slightly horrified. It was one thing killing small curses that popped up around the country but a notorious, ancient curse? A whole new ballgame. You wanted in.

“No. No way.” Georgia said.

“Too chicken?” Kayson teased.

“More like too young to die! That thing looks terrifying. Let the grown ups deal with it.” She crossed her arms and leant back in her chair.

“I would go, Chicken” his eyes diverted to Theodora “What grade is it?”

“First. Bordering special.” Theodora replied.

“Literally me then,” he smirked.

“Anyway,” Theodora brushed him off, “you have until tomorrow to let me know.” As soon as she left the room, you were out of your seat, racing after her.

“Teddy!” You called out. She turned around abruptly, looking at you with one of her tight, awkward smiles.

“I want to go.”

“Not gonna sit this one out then?” Her eyebrows raised. You shook your head in return. She offered you a knowing nod.

It was the next time you checked your emails on the lone library computer that you knew you were going to Spain June 1st, 2007.

After Spain and Argentina triumph, Messi and Yamal will face off in the 2025 Finalissima

Spain and Argentina will compete in the 2025 Finalissima. On Sunday, Albiceleste won the Copa America title for the second time in a row. Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0, with Lautauro Martinez scoring the lone goal. Conversely, La Roja defeated England 2-1 in the 2024 European Championship final.

In 2022, the inaugural Finalissima, sometimes known as the "grand final," took place. In the first-ever Finalissima, Argentina and Italy faced off; the South Americans prevailed 3-0. Lionel Messi is anticipated to captain his nation once more the next year, this time against a developing Spain squad that includes 17-year-old wonder Lamine Yamal. Messi had previously only seen Yamal once, during a now-viral photo shoot in 2007. Read the full article

Pubs to get welcome boost from England Euro 2024 success

For free real time breaking news alerts sent straight to your inbox sign up to our breaking news emails Sign up to our free breaking news emails Preparations for the Euro 2024 final are reaching fever pitch with pubs preparing for another welcome economic boost as an extra 10 million pints will be poured on Sunday. Publicans have laboured under tough trading conditions in recent years as they’ve battled closures during the Covid-19 pandemic, inflation and the cost of living crisis. However, England’s progress through the tournament in Germany has provided a sales boost to ailing boozers after industry figures showed 500 closed their doors for the last time in 2023. Leading trade body UKHospitality estimates that when the Three Lions clash with Spain at the weekend it will deliver a 50 per cent increase in sales across the industry. It added that the entire hospitality sector is set to benefit from overall sales increases of £800m across the whole tournament. England fans mingle with Dutch supporters before the Euro 2024 semi-final in Dortmund (Nick Potts/PA) (PA Wire) Meanwhile, the British Beer And Pub Association estimates that landlords will pull an extra 10 million pints from the pre-match build-up to the final whistle amounting to an additional £48m in revenue. And revellers are able to either celebrate late into the night or drown their sorrows as licensing hours will be extended until 1am on Monday. Rob Star, who opened the Star of Bethnal Green in east London in 2007 and owns seven other establishments across London, said England’s progress through the tournament has led to a welcome boost in trade over the summer months. He said: “It’s [Euro2024] been great for getting people through the door. I think it was a little slow to start with but it really ramped up a lot for the quarter-final when England played Switzerland and then semi-final when the venues were really packed out.” Mr Star said due to the high demand they decided to ticket for places in one of his pubs and that only a handful of tickets remain, which he expects will go in the next few hours. England fans celebrate their side’s second goal of the game at BOXPark Wembley, London, during a screening of the UEFA Euro 2024, semi final match, between England and the Netherlands (Nigel French/PA) (PA Wire) He added: “People often assume it’s the busiest in the summer but in fact the winter with all the Christmas parties and people celebrating is when we do our best trade. “The summer, especially in London, can be challenging if you don’t have a large beer garden. If you don’t have that premium outside space and then you have people going off for festivals and holidays then June and July can be some of the tougher months. “But the Euros has given us a real boost. The semi-final on the Wednesday and final on the Sunday is the equivalent of two extra weekeend days, it’s double the trade.” Thousands of those pints, including gallons of alcohol-free beers, will flow during the late night licensing hours with pubs in England allowed to remain open until 1am for fans to celebrate – or drown their sorrows. Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality, said: “The Euros final this Sunday will be a momentous day for the country and our nation’s pubs and bars, which are set to see a sales boost of £120 million. “Pubs will be packed to the rafters with fans cheering on the Three Lions and creating an unrivalled atmosphere, outside of being at the game in Berlin. “With licensing hours already extended until 1am this Sunday, I hope fans will be able to take advantage to celebrate a historic victory for England.” Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer And Pub Association, said: “Fans have shown us resoundingly this tournament that there is no better place to watch our teams and soak up the atmosphere than the great British pub. “This Sunday the BBPA urges everyone to get down their local, support our pubs and get behind the boys. Come on England!” Source link via The Novum Times

June 14 ZODIAC

Companionship assumes a significant part in their life: they as a rule have devoted companions. His disposition is social and normal, joyful. Despite the fact that they frequently battle, they are not egotistical. They are blissful in cheerful organization. They make progress toward improvement and nuance, and their way of behaving is strangely touchy. Their incredible anxiety and their twofold mental nature make them inclined to intermittent misery, conditions of dread or trouble. These psychological characteristics make ladies wild, anxious, and even in danger of agitation. Men, in additional extreme cases, are in danger for neurasthenia. Individuals conceived today can effectively persuade others regarding the legitimacy of their viewpoint. Despite the fact that they appreciate instructing others, they don't show egotism or oppression at the same time. All things considered, they tend to limits and peculiarities. They should be cautious with the creative mind, which can be stressing areas of strength for and. By then, they stress pointlessly and torture themselves. They go under areas of strength for a from their companion. They appreciate betting and are frightened of games. Be that as it may, they track down frustration in affection, and the best aggravation and hopelessness looks for them according to the other gender. They should be individuals who harvest the product of their work and exertion. [caption id="attachment_19226" align="aligncenter" width="612"]Icon page schedule day - 14 June.
