When I worked at a large university in the English Midlands, my office overlooked the section of the park where the university Quidditch team used to train on a Wednesday afternoon. They had a Quidditch coach who gave out to them for being insufficiently committed to Quidditch.

Would it be a sunday morning without the Irish Times doing a puff piece on how great the Brits were in the North? Today we have ex-SAS saying they did nothing illegal, talking about govt betrayal. Oh the mirth, the numerous books, interviews, dogs on the streets etc were all imagining it!
