Ed Sheeran – Shape of You
The club isn’t the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots

Spanish Constitution of 1812: Cortes of Cádiz and Liberal Triennium
The Cortes of Cádiz
The Supreme Central Junta, unable to effectively direct the war, dissolved itself but initiated the process of convening the Cortes. This was because the nation’s representatives were to decide on its organization and destiny. While the Parliament convened, a regency of five members was maintained.
