Didn't know he died! I knew...came to this late. Didn't know he died! I knew Lyman in the 82/83 period introduced by one of my other lecturers. Had many drunken exploits - not sexual though he was always on the pull - but due to the excess of booze have only fleeting recollections. How did I graduate? I do recall one episode when given notice of a Ruddles promotion by my History of Science tutor (Bernard Norton, great guy and mentor RIP 1984) at one of the halls several of us got so drunk that they had to find rooms for us to stay in. As I scuttled out next morning as I walked along the corridor I noticed Lyman was lying naked on his bed with the door open to opportunities. Might be the last time I saw him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341041630077859952.post-26552918860093103432012-04-24T14:01:46.970-04:002012-04-24T14:01:46.970-04:00I was at Leicester Uni in the early 80s but Econom...I was at Leicester Uni in the early 80s but Economic and Social History was my subject!<br />I think in the UK there is the option to get away with things- at the moment because of "political" feeings in the police connected with withdrawn funding it is perfectly possible to get away with it= sorry to say it, but I have defence lawyers telling me this is the situationcase1workerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569421146399930138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341041630077859952.post-68664384265575551582012-04-03T10:12:25.092-04:002012-04-03T10:12:25.092-04:00Cops seem to have a lower social status in the US ...Cops seem to have a lower social status in the US generally, well certainly down here in Florida.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125096218951977368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341041630077859952.post-1089303380162849522012-04-01T07:20:18.507-04:002012-04-01T07:20:18.507-04:00It's really hard to put a finger on it, but yo...It's really hard to put a finger on it, but you've done a nice job. It is hard to describe. I think the police are very intimidating in the US; not so much in the UK.
