Ah, that's one of those great imponderables. I'm f***ing off to France on Saturday for a couple of months, so it's not up to me.

For the record, had I half an education, I would not trumpet the fact. Not me, mate.

Oh. was it specifically my college? I'd have been surprised if that had happened in my day: they were all thicko Etonians. Perhaps times have changed? <I doubt it>

Well that's a bit selfish ;)

Just because you are in France doesn't mean you can't organise the event :)

But how long will you be in town?

I leave on the 7th July, taking kids to Quebec City for Canada day plus a couple of days.

All times are GMT -12. The time now is 6:22 pm.
