So I'll be back in the 'hood next weekend to take my degree. Arriving at LGW Friday morning, and while my family heads to the hotel I'll be coming up on the blue bus to get my gown and hood. Anyone in town and want to get together for a coffee or three before I head back to London? Saturday there will be little else but the ceremony, so not much time.

re: "The Uttermost Part of the Earth"
Dear sir:
I am enjoying your article on Tierra del Fuego. I admit that I was initially put off by its title, "The Uttermost Part of the Earth", but I see that this is an allusion to a three-generation-old hyperbole, rather than a modern failure to understand the meaning of "uttermost", so I'm over it. I must suggest, thought, that you fire the fact-checker, please, or whomever is responsible for the first sentence in the eighth paragraph, the one that begins "Magellan may have been the first non-European to see this area". (Bold-facing is mine.)
