10.11.2007 revolutionary

The other night I was out with Satnam and a different Glaswegian asked where I'm from.

I offered the briefest possible geographic description and he was visibly shocked, then exclaimed You are an anarcho-Finn revolutionary!?! I've never met one of you before!

Of course, I've never met anyone so well-versed in the obscure histories of the pioneer settlements where I grew up. It was quite baffling! But that is Cambridge for you.... the place is crawling with experts!

I had to declaim my status as a revolutionary descendant though; my people were just bandits. I suppose they might have dated across the political divide, but it seems unlikely.
