    I don't know if anyone's noticed, but Sir Terry will be giving a talk at Trinity College Dublin tonight (4 Nov), on the topic "The importance of being absolutely amazed about everything". Details at http://www.tcd.ie/English/ : no charge, but you have to request 1-2 tickets by email at the address provided.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    It wasn't very well advertised outside Trinity, apparently. I was too late, got a pro forma email saying "unless we get returns, forget it". Since no-one paid for tickets, of course there were never going to be returns. :rolleyes:

    Is it mean of me to say... I didn't!

    :-D

    There will be a podcast of it on the Trinity website though. I haven't seen any sign of it yet though. If I get pointed towards the link at any point I'll post it here.
