@jembloomfield Ahh - I have missed your huzzahs. I have been getting nostalgic about my uni days since seeing this book. It is a huge achievement. Congratulations.
The #LincolnLibrary team may be about to defect to MI5 🕵️ They've gone all #SloughHouse after reading #Slowhorses, thankfully they didn't go so far as to bring bags of rubbish in! Dig into Mick Herron's MI5 drop-out series https://t.co/AMoQUs3Ckq @readingagency@johnmurrays

Found an interesting source relating to Pyrrhic victories, however I don't think I can cite a text called 'Exit Wounds: Overcoming Unprocessed Pain' in my footnotes.
Whilst preparing for my PhD annual review, it has in no way escaped my attention that I have *essentially* written an undergrad dissertation in one month, something that a few years ago I thought was barely manageable when I had four months.
There is only one example of þeaw in the OE corpus which is formatted as action and consequence, akin to the written laws. This is found in Orosius in regards to a funerary custom of the people of the Este.
In the AS corpus, there is only ONE example of something not being a custom (þeaw). This example is in King Alfred's Orosius, saying it was not the custom to count slain men after a battle.
So I have been absent from the twittersphere for sometime while I have been doing a corpus study on OE þeaw (custom). Fun fact: noble/honest/virtuous (and all good customs) are the most highly represented.
