I'd quite like to judge at Edinburgh, but I don't know what my schedule is looking like yet. I will let you know.

Strathclyde's an Ancient now? Tsk

Tell me you lot aren't descending on Glasgow. Please.

by **Ewan MacDonald** on Mon Feb 20, 2006 3:43 pm

Only to see you exnihilo!
Although I don't know why you don't think they should, surely there is always room for more alcoholics in Glasgow!

edinburgh's not an ancient either - post-reformation.

by **Connie** on Mon Feb 20, 2006 6:57 pm

The reason he's 'an nasty' is firstly because I can't type properly, and secondly because he has rescheduled the GUU parliamentary for the day of our IV, which is slightly evil, so glasgow can't send everyone they wanted to.

Shame, it might have to be an all irish final...

Well, compared to most universities these days, a foundation date in the 1960s is positively antique.

I'll be doing all three. But Ewan and I are never going to be up in time for a 7am bus, so we'll see you there.

Short Version, someone else can put tabs up later if they feel the need! In short an outstanding weekend for all!

GUU Ancients

Final

1P KIDS OF EVIL (Cochran and Grieve)
1O Oxford A (Illsley and Jones)
2P Cambridge A (Devlin and Lintner)
2O Durham A (Chapman and Sid!)

Motion
THB Britain should pay reparations to its former colonies.
Judging were Derek Lande (CA and Chair), Niall Kennedy, Kenny Fleming, Alex Ward, John Duncan, Ailsa Lynch, and Kirsty Russell.

The final was won by Durham.

Despite refusing a 'dance-off' Doug Cochran was top of the Speaker Tab (He was joint top with Gavin, but because of some statisitcal thing he gets the acclaim!)

Strathclyde

1P Guantanamo A (Lande and Kennedy)
1O Edinburgh A (Ross and Buckley)
2P UCD Law (O'Neill and Clarke)
2O Oxford A (Jones and Tim (can't remember surname!)

Motion was TH prefers the Thistle to the Rose - Niall K ran Scottish Independence!

Final panal were all random strathclyders who I can't remember. Edinburgh took the win, although God only knows how! Will Jones was best speaker in the Final! And in the 2am drunk debate!

Edinburgh (aka the hair of the dog iv!)

1P Oxford (Will and Tim)
1O GUU C (Anderson and partner - wasn't listening!)
2P KIDS OF EVIL (Connie and Doug)
2O HEARTLESS BASTARDS SWANSONG (John and Jason)

Motion was THW provide Heroin on the NHS to give addicts their fix, or something similar.

Judges

Kirsty Russell (chair), Jenni Harrison, Niall Kennedy, Barney Ross, Megan Shute, Adam McKinley!

Winning their (probably) last IV together were the heartless bastards. Jason was the best speaker in the final, and the adjudication seemed to take all of three minutes!

So three teams and two judges breaks at the Central belt weekend. Congratulations to John and Jason for being awesome last night, and only awe can express the ability of Connie, Doug and Kizzy in managing to do 13 debates in three days!
Right, off to find a small lake of Irn Bru and a supply of asprin, its been a long three days!

I'd just like to say congrats to everyone who went to the ancients weekend. A good show by all. Particularly to John and Jason for winning their last IV together - going out on a high (of the non heroin type). It definately made up for trying to invade Israel at glasgow.

And we can't forget Aaron - his first break at an IV, breaking to the semis at Edinburgh (with Derek).

Well done to all the other teams as well, it was a strong showing.

And thanks to Doug, and apologies for not knowing anything about Burma.

See you all on Wednesday and remember we're having a meeting to sort out the powerpoint for our IV on Thursday.

Back to sleep... Connie
