Bah! The professor would have loathed a Mordorian contraption such as universal timezone synchronisation! Might as well live under the black cloud of Mordor as toast him at 9:00 Greenwich time!

At least, that's my excuse... at 9:00 Greenwich time I was in nothing resembling a toasting mood or time of day.

But at 9:00 more locally, I was drinking an English beer and reading aloud "The Grey Company" and "The Muster of Rohan" and having a grand time.

Here's to the Professor's 117th! (1892-2009 DOES make 117, right? The whole fact that this isn't 2008 anymore had me confused...)
