In an effort for this thread to avoid descending into a 'bash Jess for the website' spectacular, perhaps people who think there are problems with the website as it is at the moment could put together a list of concerns here? It could be a productive way of us progressing towards something more usefu...
Quoting exnihilo from 10:01, 13th Jul 2007 Not the most notably middle-eastern country... This I know - given that Jess mentioned a debate about international decisions etc rather than just a 'what's going on in the Middle East right now' style debate, of which I've seen far too many, and Middle Ea...
Quoting Cambabol from 01:00, 13th Jul 2007 I don't know what the Middle East debate this year was but the year before (two years ago) it was: "This house believes the greatest barrier to the peace in the Middle East is Israel" i.e Israel yet again. And you can get something controversial on the Mid...
Of course, for a number of the members of this team, the first experience they had of debating was in the Courier-CIOBS junior schools debating competition... I'm delighted at the win. The speakers have been debating really well all year in competition, and I attended a training session with the tea...
Quoting LK Today from 12:08, 11th Apr 2007 As for the Vic, well, I used to really like it. It was handy, usually really good food, but then I had a bad experience. I ordered onion rings, and when I bit into one I realised it was actually squid. As a vegetarian who hates fish this was not really ver...
The UK Kia press office also released the following: April 1. Kia today pulled the covers off a completely new motoring solution, the Concept i. With the Concept i, Kia will be the first manufacturer to offer a modular car to UK customers enabling them to choose almost every aspect of their car from...
You may have a point about the bias, Dave, but I'm not sure it's all that strong in the good rooms. Open motions, I think, can be highly useful, particularly as a training tool: teaches 1opp to rebut whatever's thrown at them, and usefully for more advanced speakers, teaches them to make strategic c...
Quoting TC from 21:17, 11th Mar 2007 It was a bad motion. It gave first prop a massive advantage, which could have been taken to do anything. however if first prop ran something like the Iraq three state solution (like they did in the room Laura and myself and Miles where in) then we in first opp c...

Quoting holden caulfield from 11:53, 27th Feb 2007 in the new arts building on the scores, i think on the top floor but the directory at the entrance tells you
The final was 1 prop - Camb C - Bob and Ranald 1 opp - Queensland A - Erin O Brien and Eavan Gold 2 prop - Oxford D - Will Jones and James Dray 2 opp - Sydney G (whose names I can't remember, which is unfortunate, as they eventually won). I got the masters final and a semi final as well to judge. De...
