Haven't spoken to Vort in ages. And SAE... Well.

I would come but I don't have the means, and I'll probably be in exams. :lol:


Oh, you're right. It's only a few days away from my Revolutions exam.

The wonders of the Victorian Education System. Still, it would have been nice to have a meetup in Treasury/Botanical/Flagstaff/Carlton/Fitzroy Gardens or Fed Square. Maybe even Royal Park or Yarra Bend.

What in God's name happened to that fellow, anyway?



It's a little ways away for me to promise to show up - we'll see how my schedule pans out.

If only I wasn't so paranoid though.

He lives! Well, if you decide to turn up then I'm obliged to. It'd be awkward for you to be at a one person party.

It's like a very strange game of chicken.

Neither of us can be quite certain we /can/ show up, but neither of us wants to let the other show up alone.

Well if he receives an invitation that suggest we don't know his relation to NS he will likely come for curiosity sakes.

And that is when the trap is sprung we tie him up, and ransom him for all his book money.

I'm not sure they have streets in Melbourne. Well I'm not sure they'd call them streets anyway.

Does that include a 'practical' or 'applied' component, rather than just the mere testing of theoretical knowledge?

I won't be there in November, but if you know me and will be in or around the Twin Cities later this month/September or December, telegram me if you'd want to meet.

Alternatively, there's Balboa park right next to the Orange line stop- weather permitting that's a great place for some sort of picnic or potluck. Weather in November is a toss up though- might be warm and nice or cold and windy.

Public transit accessible is good planning. Especially when it's a bar, and when many NSers are over 21. :p

Interesting, but London is a bit far for me to travel, and I don't want to reveal where I live. *Disables built-in laptop GPS device and geo-location function*

I would have considered Birmingham UK but I remembered that although I'm not a minor, my circumstances mean that it would be unwise and unsafe for me to reveal myself outside of my NS identity of UPIL, as I don't want to cause trouble for myself- sorry. :(
