This week, Visa announced something for the USA that really is a non-issue in Europe – it shouldn’t be news, but it was – for Americans at least! Plus – there were Zombies, (Swedish House) Mafia and a 78 year old bank robber along with big news about our favourite (non) sponsor Elon Musk and a whole lot more chaos as the team returned after their 2 week Easter break.
