Durham Opens

[macdoof]

That was awesome, I haven't had so much fun at an IV ever. Left work at 1540 on Friday, having convinced my boss that me going to a debating competition was actually of benefit as it would improve contacts et al, and drove down to Durham, meeting with everyone at 2000. Miranda and Kizzy were there, along with a large chunk of the Scottish IV

Comedy, it's Becca Gill, who was gowned on Friday night, and was speaking as 'pashmina party' on Saturday.

And thanks, Ewan, for putting up with (though not actually *fixing*) the inevitable "Oh help, I have nothing to say, but five minutes to fill" issue in the second round, and for talking my drunken self out of doing the Nasty Water Resources Prop in favour of the Ridiculous Viagra Prop.

Any fluffy liberal bunnies around? :)

It's good to know that we aren't the only ones who can screw up debates...Oh how I wish I could have gone! Perhaps next year...

To be fair dave it wasn't really a competition for first-timer or someone unused to IV debating, the quality in some of the rooms was terrifying, and I am supposed to be experienced. Kizzy only managed becasue she has been judging for most of the year, and we had done some prep work on 1st props. The Durham IV in Otober however is a great starting point, even if I can only judge!

Newcastle Royal Grammar School is both great and good, won't have a word said against my old school.
