Aman!!! When will you be arriving in Oxford? Or are you there now/full time? Do you have any interest in coming to Oxonmoot? At the least, let's meet somewhere--B&B, Mitre, Lamb & Flag, or your favourite pub. This would be fantastic! Look for a PM coming soon to an inbox near you . . .

Oh, apologies, looks like a missed a question in my response - yes, from next week, when I move into my beautiful house, I'm in Oxford full time, as it were, at least until next June

Aman! How lovely.. I had meant to ask you how your finals went but your post suggests a Masters (that you have to work for

) or other post grad so congratulations!!!

This calls for a picture of the Downers in the snug, I vote for ESTY to organise, well done to her.

When we have our picture taken in The Bird and Baby, we must get the full story of this Desecration.

Less than two weeks away, for those attending.

It always seems to come around so quickly. I'm looking forward to it as usual.

The Eagle and Child has already been remodelled and renovated a couple of times since Tolkien's day, so I'm sure it can survive another. In 1962 they extended to the rear and knocked the main bar through into the rabbit room, and I can't imagine them doing anything that drastic this time.
