I'm looking for colleagues in the UK, #HistSTM, #HistMed, or #STS who work in institutional settings where they find it is difficult to place them in the right Unit of Assessment for REF2029. DM if that's you?

My take is that Knights Templar conspiracies are a front to hide the real power behind the scenes - the Knights Hospitallers.
Well, Amundson did claim to be the first to reach the North Pole when he led the 1926 Norge airship expedition that flew over it, although most people seem to think flying over is somewhat cheating (even if it saves on eating your dogs)

Difficult to pick - was also considering 'Die/Diet' from the Springfield Files, & 'Poochie died on the way back to his home planet' (plus, from same episode, 'Very few cartoons are broadcast live. It's a terrible strain on the animator's wrist')

Having a dog is fun because you can sing songs to them about how gross they smell and they just love the attention
The UK has a “hostile immigration environment” acutely felt by people who seek asylum.
