I'm totally floored by this nugget of information that Sir Walter Raleigh might have controlled his emotions around potatoes when he first saw them. Sir Walter, you're my hero.

Potatoes have a way of being self centered and basically shapeless that might frighten sensitive people. I don't know whether Sir Walter was really sensitive, given the trade he was in, but nonetheless...

Diane Morgan is a prime example of just how INCREDIBLY attractive an outstanding sense of humour can be. Goodness me she’s something.

This is so magnificent! And the professors et al have such skilful dry humour.

The best part I think is the contrast between the short haired expert who you can tell is really irritated by this, and the wild long haired one who’s just rolling with it
