I'd be very grateful if you could retweet his post (and consider contributing, if you can. Any amount would be welcome).

Happy Meldrew Point Day, Alexander Armstrong! Today you are 19,537 days old and have reached your Meldrew Point - the age of Richard Wilson on the day One Foot In The Grave was first aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don’t believe it!

It's with great sadness that we learned of the death of Professor Sir Graeme Davies.
Prof Davies brought transformational leadership to UofG when he was Principal from 1995-2003.
Our thoughts & love are with his family & friends.

On This Day in 1946: Irn Bru was born. The drink, first made in 1901, was previously called Strachan's Brew, then 'Iron Brew'. New advertising legislation in 1946 required the removal of the word 'brew' because it is not brewed. What's your favourite can?

Fun little trick in the Sunday New York Times crossword yesterday: the central theme clue was "The better of two sci-fi franchises", and regardless of whether you put Star Wars or Star Trek, the crossing clues worked
