Here's the November video. http://joelbeisen.net/xwordprof/archives/66 In the car today I was listening to the BBC World Service broadcast of the 4th round of the FA Cup (Liverpool v. Everton), which in and of itself was pretty cool.

He came to Richmond Law in 1978, well before I did, and was already a legend at the school by the time I arrived.
