I'm retired from a non-academic job at a College, in my time we had the son of the Master of another College who had to stay in our College, and the son of our College Nurse had to stay in his College although his Mum complained about him dumping his laundry with her every week...

"Keeping term" is what it's called in Cambridge. All Undergraduates must live in approved accomodation within a certain distance of Great St Marys or Girton. These days it generally means living in College owned premises, private accommodation needs a resident landlady and some meals provided.

A few years ago I noticed a pigeon had built a slightly better constructed nest on a low branch of a tree, with a healthy looking chick or two. Nicely out of reach of the local cats and foxes. Unfortunately (for the pigeons), further up the same tree was a sparrowhawks nest with three chicks...

There's some interestingly low lying geography between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea which has linked them in the past. I can't find the article that originally drew my attention, but it doesn't take much of a sea level rise to start spilling into the Caspian.

On a (much) smaller scale, something similar may have happened to the Black Sea around 7600 BCE. There are several flood myths in the surrounding area although there are other candidates which could also account for them.

This is my favourite Cambridge story: Four and a half years into World War II, a German Dornier Do 217 M-1 bomber made a perfect wheels-up landing in allotments in central Cambridge. The aircraft was fully laden with 860 bombs and a full tank of fuel ...

He's been taking credit for the arrests near RAF Fairford apparently, though they seem to have been by luck rather than foreknowledge.

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

Every year on 19 December, the famous Christmas lights at Mousehole in Cornwall are dimmed between 8 and 9pm, leaving just the Cross and Angels shining down across the village and out to sea.

You may get short term immunity. As Wiredog said, it's the same virus as chicken pox and it nestles in your nervous system. An attack of shingles generally occurs along a set of nerve pathways, mine affected the bottom of my rib cage on the left side starting where a nerve left my spinal column.

My head-canon is that one of the gates was originally in BC before it got moved to Egypt or Antarctica and every time it was used seeds and pollen blew through. There's probably plants in the Canadian woods that evolved elsewhere too.

Ruggedised phones. Mine is nearly 2cm thick, weighs a bit over 400g and has a 10,000mAh battery. I've been on holiday in Scotland with a GPS location game running most of the time during the day. Only once did I have to connect the external battery pack.

Front left for boiling things (pasta, potatoes), front right for everything else. Back right once in a while if the front two are in use, back left I only know works because the gas engineer checked it after he changed the meter last year.

Ship recovery on the ascending track of the orbit would be over water for quite a distance, better than the over land path needed for the Texas and Florida sites.
