I don't think I'll be able to make it - I am going insane on this moot problem

Congrats to Laz for making it to the grand final :cool:

I have the Gleeson frowning disease, I am told - look for a disgruntled looking, brown/blonde haired young fellow in a black, pinstriped suit :P Where is the assembly hall?

I want to go... but I have a moot Wednesday night and I'll probably be preparing for it. But maybe I can spare some time during the day and visit my old pal USYD..

Nicely researched :cool:

I must have made a mistake thinking that the US government ruled according to the will of the people. You know, democracy and all? He's either a liar or a loon.
