The Conference Organisation Continues Apace
CONFERENCE UPDATE
The Professional Conference Oragniser and I are apparently at odds over the meaning of the words"professional" and "organiser". We are, however, in complete agreement over what constitiutes a conference, and that's the important thing I think.

Courtesy Call
My normally dull life was interrupted momentarily in July/August when I went to Europe, but normality has resumed and it's back to tiresome work- and home-related tribulations.
I can't really think of much noteworthy to say about England - I met fellow Kibologist P. J. Harvey there, who was an excellent host who bought me beer and taught me how to swear properly, as an Englishman might - BOLLOCKS TO THAT! No, it was true; it's just that you get to say BOLLOCKS a lot. BOLLOCKS!
Wales was some sort of retirement home for the British Isles, and France was indeed French.
Now it's back to organising a conference for dull science people. Could *you* bluff your way in front of a large crowd for 15 minutes, talking about science related BOLLOCKS? If so, drop me a line, and I'll see if I can't squeeze you in. Downside is it involves a trip to Perth.
