This sounds plausible. I was also told that he would have to do many takes of voiceovers due to "creatively swearing" almost every other word. Then he would swear again, in frustration at having forgotten he wasn't supposed to swear.

One of my most favourite cathedrals! This would be a brilliant job to have.

Gordon's alive! And I've just been informed that today is the 90th birthday of the extraordinary Brian Blessed. A friend of mine has worked with him a few times and says "you can hear him coming from three floors away."

Shocking and sad, shortsighted and stupid. The Nottingham music dept (where I had PhD supervision) has been vibrant and an important centre for Early Music. Music and languages are not dispensable. They're the lynchpins of humanity.

Good news and worth a look, although the adverts in this article are disruptive and annoying.

I love a historic pub (not just the one; all of them) and have been to several which claim to be 'the oldest'... But are they? Answers here!

Hm. Not sure Innocent III is the best person to quote in this context. Unless the irony is intended...

Excellent article. I particularly enjoyed the Google Ngram of the phrase 'Deus vult' on p.60.

For many years now I have been trying to convince people that I "straddle the line 'twixt discord and rhyme" like Duran Duran in Hungry Like the Wolf, but no one believes those are the real lyrics.
