- I meant to post this (stolen) pic last week. As you and I well know - they're still at it. The Night Climbers regularly swoop along the roofline of the city, mischief on their minds and happiness in their hearts. Their actions may confound the university but to residents past and present, of the colleges and the city, they are outriders of optimism and evoke a time when opportunities were boundless and terms such as PC, Nanny State, and Health and Safety were mere twitches in the dreams of tomorrow.

Here's a couple of pieces in the papers showing how the authorities went just slightly / wildly overboard:

Mail on Sunday

Telegraph
