I returned to sunny Glenside (from rainy Manchester) today to find the Oak Hill 2007 Yearbook waiting for me. Interesting to see what changes and what doesn't...

Not sure I like the funky new font for the names - trying a bit hard?

I notice Marc Lloyd's still claiming to be able to recognise the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and makes no mention of having married the lovely Yvonne in the summer.

Neil Jeffers, by contrast, gives us a full update on his life - though I think is a little modest. Surely more theological and physical weight, Neil?

Lots of people have married and lots of others have had children. No surprises there. Some seem to have taken up strange hobbies (beekeeping and falconry, Helen Morrow?) and others have learnt the hard way about putting a 'funny' entry in the yearbook, only to discover that every potential employer in the country reads it (was it Jonty who claimed to have been a lion tamer last year?)

Charlie Styles (surely he should still be at school?) seems to have sneaked straight into the second year and is there really someone called Gerry Straker in the third year who I never once spoke to in the past two years? If there is - I'm very sorry Gerry. Catch up with you in heaven, maybe?

There are two pages of fourth year students! Okay, so only Dave Walker is on the second page, but still a good effort boys.

Didn't we used to have notes about the faculty too? They've gone, but it's good to see Matthew Sleeman among their ranks. I see that Dan Strange is still spending his time trying to explain to people what Public Theology is and why it matters. Nice to see some George Herbert in there, though.

And I'm very excited about Mike, Steve and Sachy's new book.

But mostly I'm concerned that there's someone just on the edge of the cover of the new prospectus who looks like they might be me. Surely not? Peter Wood wouldn't do that, would he?
