Solatium Debate

[Donald Renouf]

What's the motion for the debate on Wednesday? I can't get www.debatingsociety.org.uk to work for me at the moment, for some reason.

[Dave the Explosive Newt]

Try http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~debates/ old man, although that's unfortunately not of that much help in this case. As I recall, the motion is on ethical investment and one of the speakers will be the Lord Rector, Simon Pepper.

It has been brought to my attention that certain people refer to me as a legend. Should you meet one of these people, maintain a safe distance and telephone the police. Under no circumstances attempt to deal with them by yourself.

Planning on making an appearance, Renouf?

"What I hanker for, of course, is to be put at the beck and call of some very important hush-hush sort of man who needs to be driven very fast in a long-nosed powerful car to mysterious destinations...But either this type of man is dying out- which I should deplore- or else, which is more likely, he does his own driving."

Well, I've just e-mailed Mr Rollings to ask if there are any tickets left.

...and damn it he still hasn't replied and I won't be able to check my e-mails until tomorrow evening.

Well, it's nice to have a bit of drama in one's life.

Well, as I now can't make it, it seems likely there is a ticket left over assuming the demand hasn't been so great that that one's gone too.

Sorry sorry sorry if anyone read that. It was needlessly offensive and I grovel in mortification. Write out 200 times "Drink and the internet do not mix"...

But yes! I hope it all goes well this evening.
