I have added a reference to the Jeffrey John affair.  Because of the lack of other text here, it currently appears as if a defining feature of Richard Harries.  But it is not meant to be.  Hopefully once the stub has been expanded it will be one fact amongst many.  --Trainspotter 20:08, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Odds and ends

message: The Times (8 July 2006) reported:
:The life barony conferred upon the Right Rev Richard Douglas Harries, lately Bishop of Oxford, has been gazetted by the name, style and title of Baron Pentregarth, of Ceinewydd in the County of Dyfed.
However, this would appear to be a mistake. The London Gazette (6 July 2006) reported:
:The QUEEN HAS BEEN PLEASED BY LETTERS PATENT UNDER THE GREAT SEAL OF THE REALM DATED 30 JUNE 2006 TO CONFER THE DIGNITY OF A BARONY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR LIFE UPON THE RIGHT REVEREND RICHARD DOUGLAS HARRIES, LATELY BISHOP OF OXFORD, BY THE NAME, STYLE AND TITLE OF BARON HARRIES OF PENTREGARTH, of Ceinewydd in the County of Dyfed.
I saw the Times version before I saw the Gazette version and I was tempted to "correct" his title here, so I am posting this just in case anybody else has been misled by the incorrect title that appeared in The Times, which has a much wider readership than The London Gazette. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Oxonian2006 (talk • contribs) 12:26, 15 July 2006  (UTC)
:Another user originally moved this page to Baron Pentregarth. It was also reported as such in the Telegraph, and on the Dodonline political biography site used by the House of Lords. However, the House of Lords itself always refered to "Harries of Pentregarth". The Telegraph printed a correction the following day, but made another mistake: "BARON HARRIES OF PENTREGARTH, of Pentregarth, of Ceinewydd in the County of Dyfed". See the discussion.
:It's strange that such a large number of sources should get it wrong. It suggests it was publicised wrongly at some point. As you say, present version of this page is correct. JRawle (Talk) 13:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: A good external link to add would be the biography page at Gresham College (which links to his resource of lectures avaliable online):

(I only don't put it up myself as there is a possible conflict-of-interest as I am connected with Gresham College, where the lecture was given).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesfranklingresham (talk • contribs) 13:06, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Thought for the Day

message: "[…] but was immediately recommissioned as Chaplain to the Forces 4th Class in the Territorial Army; on 29 October 1969 he once more transferred to the reserve."
The reserve is the Territorial Army, so how can he have transferred from one to the other?
