Perhaps the best speller should apply : but only if he can do a good spring to mind in the dance routine.


I liked Bunyip's suggestion for individual committees. Let's kick it around for a while and then have a meeting about tit.

Going back to OB I think a meeting about 'tit' or multiples of them sound like a really good waste of time and we should get a committee formed to decide which 'tit' and under what circumstances we should be doing the consideration.


For Australian committee members I suggest Sandra Sully or Kylie Gilles.

The committee seems to have lost track of its original intent. I propose that we investigate what out original intent was and follow up the investigation with strawberries and ice cream.

Seconds?

I had better refuse seconds: strawberries bring me out in a rash.

Was that a rash thing to reveal to the great unwashed public?

I second the strawberries and icecream , and because I like to have it all, add chocolate and thick cream which will freeze on the icecream.

just so long as we remain a committee!

If we become a board we will become long and hard and full of splinters.

Yes but, no but, being a medical committee we would know which grants to apply for to make it better. (woodn't we)

Crikey, we can apply for grants?!

Put me down for several, especially if they come with fruits or cakes.

I was thinking about Grant's whisky.

It goes well with a good dense fruitcake with lot's o nuts in it.

The committee notes with satisfaction that members are becoming more self indulgent with age. Provision must be made for this in future legislation.

The committee could note that after after having partaken of several Grants I've been called a nutty, dense fruitcake.
Point of order - I'm more of a dry biscuit.

Oh Gosh - sorry everybody - the door to the committee room was locked and I couldn't remember my password. Still, if I could just look at somebody's notes I'm sure I can get up to speed.

The committee formed to investigate the need for a committee has sent its findings to the sub-committee in charge of streamlining beaurocracy, but used the pink cover form rather than the blue one so it will probably never be actioned. Unfortunately, even though the sub-committee and the streamlining committee share many of the same members without the blue form, the streamlining committee do not have the required information to inform the sub-committee if their error.

It will have to wait for the paperwork committee to authorise a colour change of the submission forms but if they do that all other reports will be wrong.

I think we will need a group to look into the problem.

Perhpas we should set up an online forum? It might speed things up a bit? Providing everybody can remember their passwords of course.

It's alright - we haven't seen him since the Treehouse Picnic. We tried gesticulating at him to find out what the problem was, but that just seemed to make things worse.
