@CarolineLawrenc @flaroh I am really pleased to see this - although much later than I should have! I just came to tell you that I tutor English, and I'm currently reading 'The Slave Girl of Jerusalem' with a pupil. She loves it - as do I :) Thank you so much :)

@MuseumofOxford @ArchaeoAnni I think you would?!!

@RWE_UK Hello! I am trying to send an email FAO your Didcot station. Unfortunately, the email does not work. Please advise as to how I may contact you. Many thanks.

We are raising money to cover loans of objects from the Oxfordshire museum service for a pop-up museum in Didcot.
Please support us by joining the SODC lottery.
Together we can make this happen.
Many thanks.

Yeah, imagine if people hated him so much that they convicted him or even killed him!!

@drcorabeth @OU_Classics Ha!! I used Winterson's new book for the sexbots, but the whole thing is a Pygmalion rewrite. Also Stepford Wives and Carol Ann Duffy's Pygmalion. Ovid, he KNEW.

[RomansInDidcot @StretchDidcot]

@drcorabeth @OU_Classics I used to be a teacher and so believe you! I got a 2:1 in the end, so that pleased me. My poor tutor though - my dissertation examined receptions of the Pygmalion myth and included a chapter on sex robots. It was disturbing to write and grim to read! Poor chap!

@AmandaCHart @CoriniumMuseum @cnl_showcases Thank you so much!

[RomansInDidcot @StretchDidcot]

Heads up @CoriniumMuseum I'd really like to know where you got your museum cabinets from, the ones upstairs with the drawers in them. Will be in touch by email! Many thanks :)

[RomansInDidcot @StretchDidcot]

@DrJaninaRamirez @OxfordConted @UniofOxford Excellent news. Congratulations :)

[RomansInDidcot @StretchDidcot]

@OxonMuseum Wouldn't that be nice!

This is not a beautiful woven tapestry. It is not a painting. It is the most detailed image of a human cell to date, obtained by radiography, nuclear magnetic resonance and cryoelectron microscopy.

@OxonMuseum Lovely castle. I had my GCSE history class do a study on it and the site. V interesting place!
