Kudos to the couple on the train into Galway this morning who had booked their seats under the names Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. I only wish I'd noticed it on the display before they got off the carriage. Masterful work.

quite by chance I met a student who had attended my @irishhistsoc.bsky.social paper on Tuesday. He stopped for a chat about sources. What a lovely encounter.
