I feel like a technophobe now, but there it is.

You know what would be awesome? If someone nominated the feudal system on Sark (last feudal society in all Europe!) for Intangible Cultural Heritage with the UNESCO.
I mean, seriously. Yes, I know it's Europe, but that's all the more reason to protect it.
Then again, by the time the mills of UNESCO had come to any decision, the EU's ZOMG FEUDALISM IS SO BAD YOU MUST BE DEMOCRACISED mission will long have been implemented, and there'll be nothing left to protect.

Shameful admission: I'd really, really like to do fieldwork on Sark before (and, of course, after) that enforced democratisation. It would be good if someone actually paid me for it but I would do it even without immediate payment (and hope that, when all's said and done, I get the results published). That's about the only thing that works as a motivation to finish being a student and becoming a Useful Member Of Society (tm) currently.

I should be working.
