‘Friendly’ acid attack (Rousse)
Our supposed friend was no friend of mine. He preened and pranced, kissing his favourites, including TPR. When he reached me, he poured acid all over my knees ‘just for a laugh’.
Drug dealing in Dublin (Rousse)
Seated in the back of the car to the left of me, JS asked why she would not be joining the book group trip to Dublin. I found it hard to believe that she had forgotten all about her forthcoming … Continue reading
Terrorist YouTube treat on campus (Rousse)

Primary school reunion mission thwarted (Rousse)
This was – apparently – a Hartburn Primary School reunion. We were given the run of the school itself. I enjoyed a quick peek in the kitchens, which hadn’t changed a jot in 40 years. My main quarry, however, was … Continue reading

If you have ever wondered how the typical academic spends a Sunday, the answer is straightforward: either at work, or thinking about work. This Sunday was no different from most others. TPR was entertaining himself elsewhere when I set off … Continue reading
