Dr Rob Lutton, medieval history lecturer, said: "The course provides an exciting opportunity for anyone with an interest in the origins and development of England's most enduring legendary figure."

... or in getting an utterly pointless Masters' degree, presumably.

Did anyone see the BBC's new Robin Hood on Saturday? Pheeew! That was a stinker. They were gloating about getting 8m viewers the next day - I'll be surprised if they get anywhere near that this week.

I wonder what sort of masters degree you'd get at the end of your studies, though. An MRob, perhaps?

Concerning the BBC Robin Hood, about half of those viewers were probably only curious about why anyone would be keen enough on it to want to steal it. Do you think that might have been a publicity stunt?

Thy words are true, as thou mod this board with decency of an arrow flying thru the skies.

That should probably be "moddest" and "thorough", but otherwise close enough.

There is an American Emu Organisation? I suppose they can't be too busy normally...

[Juni Ori]

I heard there's surprisingly many countries where's emu farms. We have at least one here somewhere. But what made me was that t-shirt in the ad in right side: celebrite diversity!!!

[DeathDude]

Emu farm eh, wouldn't be surprised if we have one here. We have a llama/Alpaca farm here of all places that you would imagine llamas to be, much less a farm.
