Wow. You know when you've got a brother at Eton College when...

Seriously. This is the exchange that went down with my brother on Friday.

Phone message left for Matt: "Hi, it's Joe. I know your long leave starts today, so do let me know where you're staying and when you're thinking about coming down to Oxford. Just let me know a bit in advance. Thanks."

Text message from Matt, quoted verbatim, unedited: "Im in mikes private helicopter and its too loud for my phone call you when i get to his house"

Private helicopter? Matthew calls me at 1:10 saying he's in Yorkshire. I looked it up on Mapquest: Eton is more than four hours away from York. Even if Matt boarded the helicopter exactly when he got out of classes, that's still only 2.5 hours...

And honestly, a private helicopter?
