Living the joke at last

I had the most wonderful time with T & T in Cambridge. The very first thing they did was hand me a glove puppet of a dinosaur and a small wooden set of Tokyo building blocks and asked me if I would like to destroy it. Normally I don't like to be associated with my semi-namesake, but when I was crashing happily down on buildings I had just carefully set up and named - "this is the Sunshine building, and this over here is Shinjuku" - it was enormous fun.

They also took me on a tour of the colleges, telling me amusing stories about what you can do to get you instantly "sent down" (expelled), such as riding the horse statue.

Apparently the Henry VIII statue had a sceptre once, but somebody took it and put a chair leg in its place hundreds of years ago. Recently when the chair leg was stolen and an umbrella substituted, there was a huge outcry from all those who wanted the return of the "traditional" chair leg...

And it SNOWED!
