Ah, Sir Roger! When the Kelvingrove got the refurb, I was a bit apprehensive before going there - having spent many happy hours there (and a few frustrating ones translating Pabesa's magnificent stone sarcophagus.) Would it be the same? I needn't have worried - as soon as I saw Sir Roger I knew I was home. Took me a wee while to find the Baron, though.....

Thank you, NS - another excellent article. And here, Synthetic Dave is very useful! I did not have to try to read the old-fashioned English, Synthetic Dave does it perfectly!
