Lie still, I'm a doctor.

Yesterday I received my Honorary Doctorate from Norwich University College of the Arts. It's a great University, one I've always been particularly fond of. It was a lovely day, everyone was terribly kind to me and I even remembered most of my speech. I was dressed in my doctoral robes, which were fuchsia pink and purple - the kind of colours that might have been chosen by Barbie. And as Margaret (Mrs Rawle) pointed out, the velvet tudor hat and the black framed spectacles were never designed to be worn together (except by Eric Morecambe). I looked, perhaps fittingly, like an idiot. In due course I will supply pictorial evidence of this. But at least now it's official. The doctor will see you shortly.
