Duncan Fallowell berates British Museum
Duncan Fallowell has a rant in The Times today, here's the link. It's all about the British Museum and how it's a load of crap nowadays. "I decided to pop in during normal opening hours," he writes. "What an awful shock. Tickets for the Hadrian exhibition had sold out, and when I tried to visit the Reading Room it was shut — because the Hadrian exhibition was in there. When I asked when the Reading Room would be open again I was told perhaps in 2012." As I've said in another posting on another topic, bring back the death penalty. It's the only answer.

Fallowell pops up all over the place, doesn't he, like an intellectual Banksy.
It's a tragedy that the Reading Room has been hidden again. It's one of the few truly grand spaces in London.
I was growing alarmed that you hadn't cited young Duncan for at least three days. How marvellous to have the faded genius back. Well done!
I aim to please. A day without Duncan is a day not done.
What happened to Duncs' ghost novel? He goes quiet when it's mentioned.
Reply letter in The Times today says by implication that the only thing of importance at the British Museum is to have a sell-out exhibition. It's not signed Ross-Brand but could've been.
