Pig Shat In My Head. Again.

[liadnan]

To Oxford last night (apologies to Olympia, Tara, Kate, and Kim but I wouldn't have had time to see any of youse anyway) for the launch party for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: posh party with speeches in Schools followed by pissup in Freuds.

I'll write more about the DNB later, perhaps, but for the moment my thoughts are limited to the following: (1) Neurofen.

Fell asleep on the Citylink on the way back, man shook my shoulder. "Where do you want to get off?"
"Fnargleblargleoh Gloucester Green will do."
"Um, we're on our way to London."
"Oh, hang on, that's where I live isn't it. OK, Baker Street."

I haven't lived in Oxford for almost exactly five years.

Yikes me is 4 years. Ugg. Actually though, time does not fly. When I was in Oxford last I was a house officer and I remember on night shift I would pray that no-one phoned me as
1) it would mean no sleep
2) I was scared.
Seems a long time ago. Am not scared any more.
Actually while reading your thing thought to myself "Gloucester Green"... isn't that in London somewhere....aaaaaah. Is amazing how quickily um, I , forget.

Yes, was a really good evening. At one point turned round and bumped into my one-time supervisor, which would have been fine except I put my foot in it my forgetting that I'd ended up with some of the articles I was doing because he and the Dictionary had a Difference of Opinion.

I'm glad it was such a good evening.
