Some highlights from the trip to Durham:

"Hadrian's Wall and Sheep Pen"
(Yes there are sheep penned up among the ruins)

"Roman Emperor Beanie Babies"
Me: We can reenact the battle of Actium
Friend: And watch Mark Antony commit suicide
Me: And spill his beans

"My size Caligula"
As in the statue of Caligula that was dressed in whatever he wore that particular day... closely resembling "My Size Barbie"

"Druids on Scooters: And the Great Scooter Schism"
Or what happens when you are REALLY bored in Roman Britain class.

"Delicious = Diocletian"
Because I just can't read.

"Thanks be to KFC"
Excerpts from the 365 Ways to Cook Chicken book at mass.

"Frau Bleucher"
(A Bell ringer at Durham Cathedral who likes to yell at students for opening doors.)
Student: She needs a hug and a stiff drink
Me: Ovaltine perhaps?

"Chicken Chunks"
Because there are no Chicken McNuggets in England

Me: Beregond is a minor character
Friend: No, you're a minor character

I am Jeremiah Dixon
I am a Geordie Boy
A glass of wine with you, sir, and the ladies I'll enjoy.
All Durham and Northumberland
is measured up by my own hand.
It was my fate from birth
to make my mark upon the earth.

He calls me Charlie Mason,
a stargazer am I,
it seems that I was born to chart the evening sky.
They cut me out for baking bread
but I had other dreams instead:
this baker's boy from West Country
would join the Royal Society.
