The horror.
If you score a full card in one session, do they apologise to you at the conference desk?

The ‘bingo’ chart was included in the programme at the European social science history conference where this also happened.
My Swedish colleague forgot to translate this last slide. In Swedish, “slut” means “the end” but the bemused audience did not seem to know that #ESSHC2018 pic.twitter.com/x1Q6Lp9z2f
