Time for your medication Sir...
Ah the smell of boiled potatoes... happy memories of British Schools abroad... from Ankara to Jerusalem... from Amman to Baghdad (closed for refurbishment) and from theran to Totnes... been there got the t-shirt and love em. Like a maiden aunt... who gets a bit squiffy at Christmas and does that dance that nobody wants to mention...
Seriously though ... the point is that archaeology can get to focused on cash... profit... overheads and costs ... I'm up for a bit of fun, public, excitement, change... opportunity to dig with no developer phoning up and find with no time limit or budget hanging over me ........... NIEVE?? perhaps...... but tell me.... who wakes up every morning with a smile?
"No job worth doing was ever done on time or under budget.."
