By Christ it's dull.

They all die.

Where desperate, musty-smelling old men drinking tepid dishwater in an attempt to drown out the awful knowledge of the diabolical fruitlessness of their half-lived lives.

I don't do pubs. I don't do anywhere without valet parking.

No thank you. No thank you indeed.

There's also a very funny story about a chap who had the wheeze of voiding his privy into his cellar, only for the floorboards to rot and for him to drown in his own feculence.

Is it April 1st? Because they're pulling out all the stops today.

I'm reading a history of the plague in Cambridge in the 17th century.

The Queen's Head is one of the oldest pubs in the country, not far from there

Do you remember it being built?

Pubs.

Of course I do, very proud of my involvement in building history!

I don't recall asking you to do pubs

My mistake.

I'll drink to that

Philip Ziegler's History of the Black Death is very good.

No, I'm afraid I'm done with buboes for now, thanks.
