Just as cooks pray for a good crop of young animals and fishermen for a good haul of fish, in the same way busybodies pray for a good crop of calamities or a good haul of difficulties that they, like cooks and fishermen, may always have something to fish out and butcher. (Plutarch, "On Being a Busybody")

Esler leaving St. Andrews
Philip Esler has been appointed principal of St. Mary's University College. A loss for St. Andrews.
Hardly. Esler has been working in Bristol for several years as the head of the AHRC.
ReplyDeleteThat's true actually. And I of all people should remember this since I've been emailing him at the AHRC since he went there!
