I'm quite impressed by Howard's breeding program that has produced dates that not only speak, but even manage the language of honour and heroes. :-p

Howard William is coming to Uppsala!? First I have heard of it - but then, that is not unknown to happen here, that phd-students are the last to hear about anything.
I'll grab someone by the ear and demand a posting on our homepage.

Åsa, they just finalised the speaking date for Uppsala last week.

LOL, when I reads the headline I thought: why is Howard's love life any of my beeswax, whether or not his dates speak Swedish? ;-)
