Execrable, as usual from this goon.

This is the collection of essays. There is one PhD dissertation that comes to mind, by Paul Collins 2011.

You will have seen the valuable collection of essays edited by @stevenhigh.bsky.social I expect. There have been some MA/PhD theses since on our shelves on the subject too, if I recall. My office is across the hall, so likely we passed at some point!

Wish I’d known you were here, I’d have shown you the Maritime History Archive. I was born in London but family had just moved down from Glasgow. We’ve been here 16yrs but not sure anyone would call us local yet!

Excellent thread Brian, thanks. Not sure I’d seen 2nd photo before. Until recently part of the old net was visible in the brush below Signal Hall! Older folk say there was a big pile of decomposing newsprint there too, left by the US. Your Cape Spear photos suggest you were here not too long ago.

Huzzah! Congratulations. My father is a proud graduate of Strathclyde’s famous Mechanical Engineering program.

I am heartened and encouraged! (yet I fear this may be interminable and even continue all day...)

“Eclectic”, indeed, often the damned by faint praise beloved by reviewers. I think he’s Ontario-born, no? Once married to Aleksa Palladino, the lucky devil. Rest of album seems more on the decent than great side, but might try again. That single hits tho

I imagine some of the big Herzog collection this month will have similar reaction for me.

Agreed, there’s a couple I dipped into, for sentimental reasons mostly, but did not linger for long.

On my list for sure. I’ve been enjoying the Altman collection on CC quite a bit. Such a range.

Brutal call. One for the books.
