50 years ago I found that the opening of part VI of the Niebelungenlied could be sung to the tune of 'Phil the Fluter's Ball'. You KNOW you want to!

Simon Jenkins in @guardian I often wonder what the hell people like him mean by "real life." What planet does he imagine universities are on? Oh, and by the way, at @uniofedinburgh and @univofstandrews we had so many wonderful Chinese friends. China obv sees something in UK unis.

Just under 3 weeks to go now for my 100 mile bike ride in support of Medical Aid for Palesitinians, and it is starting to feel real. Thank you to everyone for your support. It means more than you can know. Please donate, if you can. The need is getting more urgent by the hour.

Apparently it was International Cat Day yesterday, and I missed it. Here is my own beloved Smokey, who went to the great cat basket in the sky more than 30 years ago.

Imposter syndrome: a psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their accomplishments and fear being exposed as frauds, despite evident success. Imposter: someone who uses AI to write their essays. You're welcome.

They don't have the staff. They haven't had the staff since Thatcher started cutting down the numbers in the early 1980s, and successive (Labour, Tory, and coalition) governments kept doing so. It beats me how HMRC can be expected to keep tabs on anyone. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

This is drivel. @Keir_Starmer goes off at half-cock! Again! She was sanctioned for not getting a form signed, NOT for wearing the dress. Okay, that may have been a bit over-the-top, but - sheesh! - get it right! msn.com/en-gb/entertai…

The one time I have (knowingly) used AI was trying an app* that makes still pictures 'move'. This is taken from a photo of my father (rt) in Bari in WW2, just after his time with the Yugoslav partisans (hence his non-RAF beret). *this is not an endorsement for the app. Up to you.
