Oh, if only ....
I need to win the lottery right now.

I can feel what it would be like to climb up into that, _dammit_.

Yeah, it's May Week in Cambridge right now. As I write the Bright Young Things are out there living their Brideshead Revisited post-exam mania, while Tedious Old Farts like me complain about the noise from the College Ball fireworks displays (I exaggerate for effect).

Seriously, half the time Cambridge feels like it's still in 1908; the other half of the time it feels like it's a parody of that time.
