It may not be true in all possible worlds, or perhaps it is.

Yes that's very true: I've heard of a universe where you are chair of this committee.

Does that mean that we all get to sit on Bunyip?

The look of him suggests that a number of people already sat on him.

Should the committee arrange to meet in August? In Swindon? with postal/proxy voting for those unable or unwilling to attend?

It would make sense. The first item could be determining the first item.

Objections. With so much going on that weekend surely teabreaks will loom large in the proceedings. I suggest an extra ordinary meeting to discuss same.

I think for the sake of continuity we should make determining the first item the second item.

I liked it better when there was going to be rum.

The rum has been cancelled? What kind of fresh bureaucratic nightmare is this? IS there still coffee?

According to the report from the quartermaster special sub-committee, the rum has been relocated. It is stored in the basement furnace room, in a matching set of 144 cylindrical silver pepper containers marked "Nutmeg," each dozen containers in an outer cardboard box marked "Kitten Polish," those boxes in a cupboard marked "Squirrel Laxative" behind the door marked "Map Room." Due to a lack of the Pink Paint Supply Form WX666B the "Beware of the Tiger" sign on the door is not fully legible.

The committee to consider promoting the quartermaster to onethirdmaster will reconvene after the members stop clinking pepper-pots and singing "Fifteen (or thereabouts) men (and/or women) on (or in the vicinity of) a deceased person's thoracic region."

Coffee is, was and always shall be available as a proper cup of coffee in a proper cup of coffee cup.

As I'm sure you are all already aware, proposals can only be submitted in video format during June.

Misty Cat, you might like to know that the proper cup of coffee proposal has already been covered:

What happened to Kitten anyway? Did she polished into oblivion? Or was she part of the previous committee cull?

Suspect a trawl on YouTube for "kitten" will produce very slim pickings.

Just give me a slug of that wonderful stuff, "cos I'm orf to have a teabreak. By the way the Tiger has escaped and we'll have to have a special meeting to see who was on "beware" notice duty when the paint ran out.

Dick Van Dyke. He could be our chairman. May have flipped overnight.

Has just considered all the previous erudite and informed comments and have decided that we each should have a committee of one.

Which one I am not sure about.

Perhaps someone else can decide?

Re: Committee

Yes, I second the motion that someone else decide. Decide what I have no idea.


Also we should have a secretary.

Does anyone know a good writer for the secretary role? surely someone around here could do it?

Re: Committee

I have decided that we shouldn't make any more decisions unless the proposal has been submited through the medium of interprative dance.
