What treachery is this? Where will these scurrilous lies end? The police found no evidence whatsoever!

[David Bean]

So not only is it pashmina porn, but it also happens to be of interest to Inspector Knacker. The plot thinkens...

[larkvi]

You forget that the Board have Ten has changed somewhat since you were here, Sean - a lot of the people who were elected as you were leaving are, well, no longer with us.[i]

I do not forget that much has changed--this only makes the survival of this...unique...legacy that much more impressive.

[i]I hope I wasn't linked into these allegations, was I..?

Well...

[John Stewart]

Sean Wilmslow, I find you GUILTY of killing this conversation in cold blood.

Your callous actions are an affront to the civilised folk of the St Andrews Union Debating Society, and for this, I reservce no mercy in condemning you to the most severe punishment...

...Dinner with David Bean.

Chalk up thread number five for the kill list. I have a way of killing most threads I post to. It's a gift

Ooh! are you flying him out to Toronto so that you might effect such a punishment? Or are you flying me to St Andrews?

Incidentally, I was thinking of you all as I was driving though Scotland on Tuesday, but I was still hours from London (about the time I reached Oxford, it occurred to me that I should come and visit, just to see all you little first years, so all grown up *snif* they go so fast :-p )

[Barry Joss]

Oh, please!

[John Stewart]

Someone pass the sickbucket...

..actua;lly, I suspect that wouldn't be the first time I've asked that at a debates event.

Sean, much as I'm sure you'd enjoy visitation rights to St Andys, I'm afraid you'd find few people you'd know.

It is the summer and many of us have lives which do not revolve perpetually around the north east fife coast, even, one suspects, Mr Joss of late...

[Barry Joss]

I'm not sure my life can ever be said to have revolved around North East Fife, Mr Stewart. There were many times when North East Fife revolved around me, however.

That said, yes, I do now find myself very happily ensconced in Glasgow and enjoying life to the fullest possible degree.

I'm not sure I like the overly gloating way in which you said that, Mr Joss. It rather prompts unwelcome mental enquiry as to why your life is so very enjoyable at the moment...

"There were many times when North East Fife revolved around me...."

Just one of the many benefits of alcohol - as many free rides as you want on your own private merry-go-round....

[hr]"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time".

[Barry Joss]

Any inquiry in respect of my personal life, and what makes it so exceptional at present, mental or otherwise, would be unwelcome!

[Anon.]

Don't worry, dear boy, I won't be asking.

[John Stewart]

I think that the last thing we need here is an online probing of Mr Joss...

[Barry Joss]

Which being said, a probing of my life might actually yield something interesting. Non?

[John Stewart]

I'm sure there would be controversy and intrigue aplenty, Mr Joss.

But far be it from me to play judge and jury...

[Eliot Wilson]

All the wigs and gowns in the world wouldn't make that possible, Mr. Stewart.

[larkvi]

Sean, much as I'm sure you'd enjoy visitation rights to St Andys, I'm afraid you'd find few people you'd know.


Coming from you, Mr Stewart, that seems a veritable plus at this point...

And I do apologize for the mistake in my previous post. It seems I was driving through Cambridge, not Oxford--all of these provincial Canadian towns look very much alike...

My graduate courses start tomorrow, so I shall finally have something better to do than read this board. Not that this hasn't been quite the source of amusement.

Best wishes for the year and the eventual death of this thread (if this post doesn't do it, nothing will).

-Sean

[Barry Joss]

As though I would let you have the last word, Mr Winslow.

[Eliot Wilson]

I think you speak for many, Mr. Joss.

[Barry Joss]

I am, Mr Wilson, legion.
