If you don’t receive a New Year’s Honour this year, how about trying to get included in the next bumper volume of Who’s Who? It could be the next best thing.
There are 38 new entries from Cambridge in the latest edition, mainly academics from the University.
The Cambridge entry list was among the highest produced by a city or town outside London and more than Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle combined.
I wonder if our latest Cambridge celeb David Gest, who has just bought a house in the city, will be included in next year’s edition.
And what about Ronnie Knight who moved to the city to spend his retirement?
And before you ask, the answer is no, I am not in it either…yet!
You’re not in?! Well you should be.
Cambridge Uni is going to get Daniel Hitchens next year apparently. Why not Oxford as his Dad (and Mum) lives there?! Cambridge must be good then, either that or the young daniel wants a little freedom but not be too far away from rescue. Sounds like a very sensible chap to me.
Did you know the first computer was built in Cambridge? Well, so I understand – one of my lecturers at Uni built it (with others) I believe.
I agree with Philipa. You should bi in it, Ellee.
Terribly remiss of them not to have you in it, Ellee!
Cambridge ahead of Oxford too? Maybe next year for you Ellee.
I’m sure you’ll be in it soon ellee!
There is going to be a celebration of Christmas on Christmas eve from the Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge on BBC2 here and I think it may be broadcast on the world service too.
“For millions of people, Christmas begins when a single choirboy sings the first verse of “Once in Royal David’s City” in the candlelit splendour of the Chapel of King’s College Cambridge. The well-loved story of the Nativity is told in traditional bible readings and in poetry“
Maybe one day, who knows, nothing is impossible, within reason….
