  1. #18thCenturyRadio Master SERVICE doth report this instant from Vauxhall Gardens as Dr HANDEL's Musick for the Royal Fireworks is perform'd
  2. #18thCenturyRadio The book open'd, with Mistress FROSTRUP
  3. #18thCenturyRadio I crave your pardon, Sir, for I have not a single intimation
  4. Another Monday, the last of this term. What fresh hell?
  5. New blog post: Two winter runs at http://www.roper.org.uk/marathon2005/2009/12/two-winter-runs.html
  6. A pity a programme about Nabokov, such a precise user of language, should misunderstand the phrase 'beg the question'
  7. @alison99 Reference to Thurber cartoon http://j.mp/6mjL2R
  8. Observer Review letters page has letters from not one but two profs at Sheffield library school. What are the chances of that?
  9. @TLockyer Not sure. Ask it if it's looking for a good time possibly
  10. @alison99 And did you hear a seal bark?
  11. Bottle of wine I have opened for dinner proclaims itself to be 'very approachable'. Reminds me of Thurber: 'naive domestic Burgundy...'
  12. @jogblog Guardian just as bad. I think it is time to start my own daily newspaper
  13. Back from muddy run, and seized by desire for game pie, but is there one to be had in the house? Of course not
  14. @antbliss Thanks. Odd, I thought I'd been nominated. Passed over once again....
  15. @antbliss Yes, I shall cretainly avoid it, particularly as, yet again, I am not on the shortlist
  16. @leehancock Too kind of you, Lee
  17. @alison99 Good idea. Patagonia is agreeable at this time of year, I understand
  18. @anna_seren I know. I must brace myself. A large gin, taken before opening the newspaper in the morning, might help me through this period
  19. If I have to read one more review of the year or decade in the arts I shall scream, scream and scream until I am sick
  20. New blog post: Cheltenham: Boylesports Gold Cup at http://www.roper.org.uk/tr/2009/12/cheltenham-boylesports-gold-cup.html
