The head (about to be ex-head) of my university is Sir Timothy O'Shea.
On the student record system, it is impossible to search for students
called O'Shea (I have one). I suppose it doesn't sanitize correctly -
I haven't tried looking for little Bobby Tables yet. It hadn't
occurred to me to check, but of course searching for O’Shea doesn't
work either, as they usually enter their own names into the initial
record, and use 0027.
