Matthew Howard will deliver a talk which he tells me will be entitled Berlin—It Will Take Your Breath Away. Make of that what you will, though the reference to Berlin is a running gag connected with the monthly online NSC pub quizzes, and there is also a reference to the 1986 hit Take My Breath Away by pop act Berlin. This may turn out to be the latest in Matthew's series of gleefully ill-informed travelogues—or it may not.
