Not cool to require PhD students to do, say, a week's worth of unpaid work on an 'application dossier' and harass four separate superiors for various supporting statements. All for a <1% chance of acceptance. No thanks!

Spotted Tenconi and his fascist Turning Point meatheads campaigning in Oxford today. They bravely left before the rest of us finished work and never bothered advertising the 'event' in advance. Presumably he didn't want a welcome party

TIL Wetherspoons has a section of its website on Jean-Paul Marat – explaining a display about him in a Newcastle branch. Unfortunately it isn't clear that he ever actually lived in the city www.jdwetherspoon.com/pub-historie...

Surely a good omen for my PhD that I have now visited enough French archives to earn Grand Voyageur status with SNCF

Update: after 1600km and 16 days of pedalling, we made it! And we've raised over £4,500!

Many things are bad in Germany at the moment but the Speisewagen is not one of them

What is the point in voting? Why did I even get out of bed?

First time in my life I've seen a declared intention to commit a war crime - delivered by push notification

These people don't exist, sorry. No real person has spent their Monday doing Duolingo for hours so that they can leave the rest of the diamond league in the dust this early in the week

Quite pleased to have seen Jean-Paul Marat's jawbone and an actual guillotine before the Paris in year II of the Revolution exhibition at the Carnavalet closes

Sorry but this is too much engineering work for one weekend

If this is the University leadership's line again, it is a lie – just like it was in May when they last decided to have their students arrested and beaten up. This is not how student protests should be handled, but it seems to be all Oxford knows how to do

Finally got around to looking at some great local history publications that I got for free at Hampshire Record Office in November. They were all published by the county or city councils. Can't imagine that happening now unfortunately, especially with the county council almost bankrupt
