Unreleased Bruce Dickinson (solo) songs. Will we ever hear them?

From his Keith Olson sessions there is "Original Sin", a song in which he faced his troubled relationship with his father. It's an important song for iron Maiden history because Bruce states that “it was those words that made me wonder what I was doing in Iron Maiden.”

The only thing we have is the fact Bruce wanted to feature it on his "Best of" album in 2001 and some excerpt of the lyrics:
“Tell me father where have you been
All these years, in original sin
I saw you each day, we had nothing to say
And now it’s too late to begin”

Then there is also "Nightmares" from "Accident of Birth". After hearing, wanting and getting "If Eternity Should Fail", a song Bruce wrote and demoed for a solo album, for the Iron Maiden album: "The Book of Souls", Steve wanted another song from Bruce's solo back catalogue.

Unfortunately "Nightmares" was a co-write by Roy Z, and Steve said, "Oh, we can't have that.", leaving the song unreleased.

PS. From the Keith Olson sessions there are rumored to be two more songs, but the sources are scares or non-existing so I don't think they exist. There is rumored to be a Keith Olson version of "Man of Sorrows" and another song called "Thank Heaven".

I was gifted a pc from my father's work as a present. It works good, has a lot of storage and stuff, but the graphics card is tye weakest part. Some games won't play.

I recently bought a GeForce RTX 5060 for it but I had problems installing it so now I am looking for an alternative that works better for a HP z620. I hope you guys can help!

Ps. I know the HP workstation isn't a gaming pc but yeah I don't want to trow away the gift.

What if the Germans captured Ypres in 1914?

On 31 October 1914, during the First Battle of Ypres, German forces launched a major assault and actually broke through the British line at Gheluvelt, a village just southeast of Ypres. For a few hours the road to Ypres lay essentially open.

If the Germans had pushed through, they likely could have taken the town and possibly rolled up the whole Allied position, with serious consequences for the Channel ports. Maybe Dunkirk or Calais could have fallen into German hands.

The line was saved by a famous counter-attack from the 2nd Worcestershire Regiment, who charged in and retook Gheluvelt, plugging the gap just in time. It's often cited as one of the true "hinge moments" of 1914.

But what if the Germa s had pushed through, or the atta k of the 2nd Worcestershire Regiment had failed? What would the consequences for WW1 be?
