On Opening Hours

To avoid disappointment it is always a good idea to check the opening hours of places one wishes to visit prior to arrival.

On Punting

It may seem like an easy and pleasant activity, but navigating in a straight line can be challenging.

On Being Overqualified

"What else can I do? Once you've gone this far you aren't fit for anything else. Something happens to your mind. You're overqualified, overspecialized, and everybody knows it. Nobody in any other game would be crazy enough to hire me. I wouldn't even make a good ditch-digger, I'd start tearing apart the sewer-system, trying to pick-axe and unearth all those chthonic symbols - pipes, valves, cloacal conduits... No, no. I'll have to be a slave in the paper-mines for all of time."

-Margaret Atwood
