Disappointing to discover that academic honesty is a concern in your institution.

It struck me quite forcefully the other day that I’m now the same age my father was when he was my age.

It’s a tough call, because despite all that, there’s something to be said for the view that War Crimes send you to the bottom of the class.

‘Scholarship boy’ at Eton doesn’t tell you a great deal: see e.g the Earl of St. Andrews, who is plenty posh enough for anyone.

Does anyone ever call themselves a “Third Amendment absolutist” and why not?

Note for US readers: ‘Test match’ is the top tier of the international game played over 5 days.

The 1970s and 1980s were a period where the WI dominated the international sport.

Lancashire league cricket in the UK has a system where each team is allowed one overseas professional, and is full of stories about how in the 1970s and 1980s West Indian Test match players would come over and play for a few seasons along side the amateurs bowling at 85 mph.

Robert Generic.

It’s not ideal.

Branestawming a solution: carry a second ‘phone so that I can do 2FA to sign in to Find My Phone.

Excellent innovation whereby Google’s Find My Phone now requires 2FA to sign in…

Peak Oregon is, of course, not the top of a mountain.

Yes, my point wasn't that *nobody wanted Brexit, but that given how close the vote was, there's a good chance that these people were enough to tip the balance.

It's easy to imagine something similar happening in a GE.

It's how we got Brexit.

Leveson 2.

Fair.

If you like Europe, I think you’ll also like The Essence a lot.

Tl;dr Polyphemus meeting with Odysseus and his men is a parody/inversion of the standard Greek guest-friendship rituals.
