Pre Debate Drinks are Back!

Postby Phoebe Stoves on Wed Nov 19, 2003 3:08 pm

7:30 for 8:00 O'clock makes sense once more!

As of our next Lower Parliament Hall debate, the literary debate on Weddnesday the 26th of November, there will be drinks served in the foyer of the psychology department from 7:30.
Please do come along- all are most welcome.
Donations are.....i want to say compulsory, but......encouraged? Yes, that is a much 'nicer'word.

Donations are encouraged.

Good, good. Suppose the Senate Room's still out of the question?

As always, I doubt we'll be getting a sniff of the senate room for a long time.

One step at a time, Eliot...this is heartening enough news.

Congratulations, Phoebe, on reinstating Pre Debate drinks. I believe a little alcohol can never hurt to make a debate a bit more "interesting."

I don't think the undead have a bedtime.

For a moment i was very pleased to see such a response to my thread and wondered, 'ah, what constructive comments might i find on here?' but, alas! we are discussing bedtimes- very well-

it is true, you are all awake at a very late (early?) hour, but something tells me that i am posting at an even more peculiar hour, that many of you have not seen in a long, long time! :) tee hee hee!

My God! They have a nine o'clock IN THE MORNING too? When did that start? And what does one use it for?

Free Drinks

Postby Tweedledum on Thu Nov 20, 2003 12:36 pm

I hope there will be enough to fuel my midweek alcohol hankering/addiction.
And all because you can't make donations compulsory.
Could you not sell "Special Programs" which come with a free glass of wine.
Because that would not only be legal, but ensure that costs are covered.

Certainly, sir. you make and pay for the 'Special Programmes' and then perhaps the board will consider it. Otherwise, no.

Er - righto. "Opera underscore hat at hotmail" at this end.

Also, no word from you on a Glasgow visit as yet...

Alas, what P.G. Wodehouse terms "a certain anaemia of the exchequer" means that such an excursion would not be able to take place until after the New Year.

The whole idea is that they're the same ones as now, but someone could sign them or stamp them or something.

You could collect the board's signatures

Mr.Watt- why do you think that people would pay for something they already get for free?
As the producer of the order papers, I would say that my two pages of ramble are less than worthy of fifty pence.

Re board signatures; you fool.

By the way- do you really think that the board hasn't discussed all options? Jon's minutes are a wonderful thing and a public document- try to read them before re- suggesting stuff.

Sorry if it seemed cruel- Mr. Watt and I are very good friends and it was a bit of banter which I knew he would find humerous.

Collect all of the Board's signatures, and get a free glass of wine. They could have little stamps, and a time limit would be imposed.
