  • 22:41 And this evening we sang 'Dear Lord and Father of mankind.' It has been a good day for singing. #
  • 22:59 Incidentally, why are Jesuits all so intelligent and charming and just slightly mad? #
  • 23:21 @ParrotKnight Well, I haven't got particularly large sample so far, but it seems to hold true so far. The new head of Campion Hall ... #
  • 23:23 ... was preaching in chapel and brought reinforcements, suggesting the observation. I also once got drunk with a Jesuit in Berlin. #
  • 00:25 I have had enough self-examination for this evening, and am going to bed, or rather to sleep. #
  • 10:09 @rj_anderson Gosh - in the last poll it was voted Britain's favourite hymn. Surprising that it's less well known with you - #
  • 10:10 @rj_anderson The words are American - though come to think of it, the tune's British, and the words are excerpted from a long, weird poem. #
  • 10:12 Drinking coffee and trying to get to grips with SOLO. Hate it when catalogue interfaces change, even if OLIS is not good. #
  • 10:22 The server or whatever for secure access to databases w/i the university is called Shibboleth. Groan. #
  • 10:26 Also, why can't they e-subscribe to some German periodicals (er, greener, because then I would do less photocopying. Not laziness, honest!) #
  • 10:52 @ParrotKnight Clearly it would cost money otherwise spent on journals for the MBAs.... (it's not just German - French is ignored, too.) #
  • 14:30 Conversation at lunch centred on the Prophet Muhammed's favourite camel, and their presence or absence in the OT. #
  • 14:30 Also, I'm regretting having forgotten my umbrella. #
  • 15:41 It's hard to believe a paper involving biblical exegeisi when they can't tell the Pharisees from the Philistines... #
  • 18:03 Oh Lord, what have the publishers done <i>now</i>? #

Do you know Fr Nick at Campion Hall? He's a Jesuit and frightfully nice and charming and intelligent. And yes, somewhat mad.
