Does it count that I saw Deputy Bailiff Vernon Tomes raised from a drunken stupour by his jack russell jumping on his head, and he released a long stream of profanities ..Vernon Tomes that is! And I had also been summonsed to the door of a friends establishment by Sir Peter Crill mounted on a large horse shouting 'Trout, Trout'. I also had William Bailache ( in the old library with a red coat on) berate my son because he had the temerity to apply to do mathematics at Balliol , ' I really don't think you will get in ' ( being nonVC) but instead he rejected Balliol for another equivalent elsewhere and is publishing novel research including in Nature. Bailiffs don't you just luv'em!
