The muddled thoughts of the permanently web-connected
2 random unconnected facts:
1) Russell T Davies studied at Worcester College, which would explain quite a lot, both about his output and about Worcester College. Worcester College was also mentioned in the Line of Beauty TV adaptation (as in the book). With the exception of Alex Cox and, a while ago now, Thomas de Quincy, nothing vaguely "cool" has ever emanated from that austere establishment. I need to cash in on this new potential hipness before it stops being underground and becomes devalued currency. Any ideas?
2) Dave & I are off to Saturday at Reading - tickets just acquired. Anyone else likely to be around then?
Joe, Barcelona sounds wicked. One of those places I've always wanted to visit but not yet managed. Maybe next year...

Maybe you could produce Worcester College Sauce - like regular Worcester Sauce but a lot more fruity?

p.s. Not up for reading but am definitely game for a trip to Barcelona sometime soon if anyone wants accompanying.

That's the sort of thing! I'll call the Provost immediately with a business plan.
Getting to Barca will take some planning, but I'd be up for a matey weekend away at some point.

P.S. Go on - come to Reading - the Rumble Strips are playing that day!

Alex Cox as in Moviedrome?!
I reckon "Dr Guess Who". It's Guess Who, using pictures of people who've obtained (ie 'been given') Doctorates by Worcester College on the basis that "they're famous".
Or maybe the students could release their own line of in-house porn, based on scenes from Andrew Davis serialisations?

Yup, Alex Cox as in "Moviedrome" and "Sid and Nancy". He did law but dropped out to make movies.
I think the only person we ever recognised for being famous was *spit* Murdoch. And that was after he bought us a shiney new library.
Maybe we could get Andrew Davies to write raunchy TV adaptations of Watership Down or The Plague Dogs?

I take it Richard Adams is no relation?
