Global wheat production, whisky league tables, and Hawaiian trade statistics (Rousse)

Naked housework, phone swapping, and Doctor Who accessories (Rousse)

A disputed opinion of Brooke – and another lost suitcase (Rousse)

A missing slide deck (Rousse)
Although they said that it would never run again, I found that the conference was actually meeting in secret, and I was an invited speaker. In the break on the last day I went up to the podium to upload … Continue reading →
