A quick point about using this blog. If someone has already answered all the questions on a particular post, and I have said that they are correct, then there is probably no need for you to repeat those answers. If there is more than one answer to a question then offer an alternative. Also, if in my response I have said an answer is wrong and have given a clue as to what the correct answer might be, then get in there and steal the glory. If you read a post and have nothing new to bring to it (just asking a relevant question would be fine) click on the like button so I know you have read it and move on to something new. There are lots of untouched posts that you could interact with. For example on the 17th of December I linked to 17 past articles, only one of which has had its questions answered. On Christmas Day I linked to ten different articles none of which has been looked at as far as I know. If you click ‘Like’ it’s not for my ego but it does at least suggest that you have looked at it. Of course, only by writing something meaningful will I known if you have really thought about the contents.
Anyway, it’s too late now…
I am travelling back to Oxford so I will probably not log into the site again until next week. I usually finish a run of posts with a few cheery videos. You may have seen/heard them before but I post them again because it is sort of a tradition. They won’t be here for long because some of it is in questionable taste!
I realise that it is the wrong time of year for this but still, I am returning from France…

I love a good blooper reel. Well, I’m only mostly human. This is from some sort of ice-hockey related advert shoot.

I have put some John Finnemore radio sketches on the blog before. This one is about Daniel Fahrenheit (1686 to 1736) meeting Anders Celsius (1701 to 1704) at a science conference.

This appears elsewhere in Fin Des Vacances but it is one of my all time favourite sketches. Need I point out to you where your deficiency lies?

It only leaves me to quote Her Majesty the Queen Mother and say…
“Tinkety-tonk old fruit and down with the Nazis!”
