Having marked 30 exam papers today (40 in total so far, with another 50 or so to go before another 25 roll in tomorrow), I'm treating myself by having old Columbos on in the background while I rejiggy my game (the new ones, like Highlander 2 and the Star Wars prequels, never actually happened).

Not really, but 29 years of living in the jungle hadn't done much for his wit or sanity!

Luckily for posterity though, he wasn't the Pitt Rivers, but his son, an original member of the Company of Crimson played by Jema's ex Corin, fourth down here (two below the lovely Isabelle), who OOC stopped playing shortly before you joined the Company.

Certainly one of the most ironic deaths ever!
