Nice of the rail service to make me late on the first day of teaching. EMR going 2mph whilst already running behind. Got to be on campus and teaching a class in 10 minutes and I'm sat in a luggage rack looking at the concrete car park outside old Trafford #academiclife

Charlie Benante from Anthrax on drums for Pantera too 🤘
Received an award for Best Contribution to PGR Environment. Meant a lot to find out I was nominated and it was very nice to win the overall award too.
