Aww, Balliol! Didn't see Lord Peter Wimsey, did you?
Continuing to be madly jealous of you and Nigel both. Loving the travelogues.

This is a stitch. I love Nigel making a break for the sweet tray! Go, Nigel! Go!

Of course University College (where both Bill and Chelsea Clinton went as Rhodes Scholars) also claims to be the university's oldest college - but really it was so long ago that a decade here or there hardly matters!
Didn't you visit Christ Church? You should have done. It's by far the most stunning college and they filmed large chunks of the early Harry Potter films there.

Re "The Eagle and Child". The Wikipedia link says "the Bird and Bastard" is a less common name, but that was the standard nickname in my time (class of 74). Certainly I never heard "The Fowl and Foetus", must have been later.

Tolkien, C.S. Lewis & friends called it The Bird and the Baby in their time.
