I've only shed tears at a handful of celebrity deaths. The one that sticks out most in my mind is the death of George Harrison, when I found out in a Maths lesson from a friend. The death of Kevin Keegan has really moved me. His time as manager of Newcastle United was a huge time in my life
In 1994, I was 9 and stayed up until past midnight to watch the World Cup Final, which was the worst game of football to ever take place. And now, I’m letting my sons - aged 9 and 11 - enjoy a game that is even worse. That’s the love of a parent for you

I feel like I should know this, but: Does anyone know if there is a list of small History research grant funds for people who are not doctoral students/ECRs but do not have access to research funding? Asking for… me, a fixed-term teaching-only lecturer who would quite like to carry on research
