I have just received two emails from university staff. The first is about closing my Department of Computer Science account, and has a tragic air of finality to it. The other is much more interesting.
Dear all,
A French gentleman named Michel Vinot has been to the department a number of times (twice today). He is not a visiting academic and he has no connection with the University. He speaks and understands no English but he is very persistent. Please do not let him in to the building. He is trespassing on private property and the police will be called if he refuses to leave.
Many thanks for your co-operation,
Paula
