John Prescott

John Prescott is having a hard time keepign his sex life private. But he comes from a government which made sex in public illegal. Maybe he should be prosecuted under the Sex Offences Act and make a ‘clean breast of it’ (idiom for an idiot)?

Bosnian pryamid envy?

Like the comment from my Tuesday Times letter blog criticising the Bosnian pyramid excavation approach so much I’m highlighting here. As I’ve have only been on a couple of archaeology digs myself I’m keeping out of it, though the invite out to Bosnia seems a good suggestion. Don’t criticise from afar, do it straight to Sam Osmanagic’s face!


Professor,

I must say, your diatribe smacks a bit of envy. “Amateurs”, “rich outsiders”, etc.

I wonder how many dig sites over the years have been mutilated by the “pros” rushing to posit or prove some personal theory or other?

Let the man be – he has as much or more experience than most field archaeologists in the field today.

Perhaps you would like an invite to help out in Bosnia?

I shall send cheese over to go with your w(h)ine.
