… and make my fortune. Err, not really. Actually, I’m going to have my first actual holiday, with the going away and relaxing and drinks and sightseeing, in eight years. Then I’m off to Göttingen, Oxford, New York and Washington, a conference at the University of Notre Dame, and then to San Francisco. It’s going to take six weeks. While I will be in occasional contact, and may post sporadically, and Tweet (I’m still not sure why I’m doing that, but Henry Gee was live Tweeting a conference yesterday, which is a good idea; I may do it for the primatology conference in Göttingen), I may not post so much. Stay in the RSS, though, in case I get inspired. Which is the point of the trip.
So, off to Venice. I’m told it’s quite nice. You all talk amongst yourselves. Yes, play Mornington Crescent if you must, but only using the Tudor Court Rules as amended in 1966.
Not when you’re running the inner line, you can’t.
I knew it would be controversial, but 1966 amendments remember? The rule regarding running the inner line didn’t come into effect until 1967, after the debacle between Bishop Spong and Bishop Williams (later Archbishop of Canterbury) at the Ecclesiastical All Comers Mornington Crescent Bake Sale and Nude Mud Wrestling Championship. And we all know what happened there….
