Ultimately tedious even if the ram's dead. But it's good not to give in, even when there's an element of feeling like people's attitudes will never change. I guess that's why I carry on hoping about environmental things. Because there are various things in the world that we have seen change for the better over our lifetimes. And keeping on is the only way to get things to shift.

Well, it's nice of you to say so but I know I'm supportive mostly in a lazy-arse way. Always with some excuse when it comes to the blog. Focussing of energies on other obsessive things.

And it's fairly shocking to me to see I've been hanging round here for almost 14 years, and we were at Stanton Drew 11 years ago. I don't know where the time's disappeared actually, it sounds a long time. I guess a quite a few forumites have been around a similarly long time too. Must be the nature of the subject. And that people are generally nice.

Oooh but they have, a lot of what was unsayable for archaeologists at the start is now widely accepted - and increasingly voiced.

As for your obsession, environmental things, I guess the intellectual argument is increasingly won but not the power struggle. My son has been doing an OU module on Global Warning and with the benefit of hindsight they don't half rip into the Bush era deniers and their falsifications. He should have a Chilcot on his back, what a liar.

Stanton Drew, 11 years ago, meeting you and Jamie, I remember it well.
