(It's a must see. You'll cough up a lung, I guarantee it.)

In other news, Chicken Egg Problem came third at the camera club tonight, so it's going ahead for the regional competition in a month or so's time. I had a lot of good feedback about it (including a few people saying it should have got more than a third place), but I was quite happy to have it be noticed -- the competition was pretty strong, and I am a newcomer to the club, after all.

Ok - so I cracked up when I saw it but then again, I was brought up watching the Open University on BBC2 as a kid. There's something very tweedy-blazer about the whole thing ...

And hey - congratulations on the photograph!

Thanks! :)

Actually, I did some work for the BBC/Open University people back in the mid-80s. I actually got to go to the BBC canteen quite frequently, seeing the astonishingly eyeburning kipper ties up close and personal. At the time, I thought that OU was showing lots of programs made in the late 60s and early 70s, but no, they were current, it was the lecturers' actual dress sense!
