Hands off! The Professorship of Pedantic Studies (my preferred title) is mine! I've already got my first lecture planned: "On the Use and Misuse of the term 'Lake' in conjunction with the place name 'Windermere'".

Seriously, I have been following the University of Cumbria idea in the on-line Cumberland News, and if I were twenty years younger I'd be tempted to apply when it gets going -- especially if I could have my department located somewhere like Ambleside or Keswick. Maybe they'll have a Department of Geriatric Geography? (Though I just read in the latest newsletter of the Association of American Geographers of a professor at Minnesota still teaching classes at 82 -- maybe there's hope for me yet).
