Haha sweet, Neatoramama!!unless "Ye Olde Cock Tavern" is a chain of poultry-themed british pubs, I have had a pint at that exact same place less than 3 months ago

ps - I am not british. or european.

its a little confusing when you include quotes with a persons name and don't identify who that is and why they are involved in the story... simple journalism too much for bloggers?

really, not all that uncommon in the past.. albeit, external associates brought in to grade papers would likely have a strong grasp on whatever language they are grading.. but, Tolkien and many other Oxford professors graded papers from different uni's for money...

quite a bit of LOTR was written on unused portions of exams, as paper was a pricey commodity back then.
