SUMMARY OF LECTURE
This introductory lecture started at a most friendly time of 8 am on a Tuesday morning. I recall feeling like a zombie (in good company) and definitely not ready to take on the difficult task of creating a dictionary. However, all seemed more relaxed than I expected when my ears were pleasantly lulled by soft classical guitar music, which we later were informed was a piece by Davie Graham called 'Angie'. Prof. Gibbon, if you happen to read this I thought that was a great idea and would be pleased if you carry on this excellent extra-lectural wake up tradition. I also wouldnt say no to some Monty Python Nonsense to spam my brain into action.
