Just once I would like to get to university at a reasonable hour. Conversely I would like to leave university at a reasonable hour, go to bed at a reasonable hour and (most importantly of all) get to sleep at a reasonable hour. It is all so very unreasonable.

Si is in New York - Cultural capital of the 20th century western world. It has provided the setting for such classics as 'New York, New York', 'Seinfeld', 'Friends' and 'Two planes crashing into two buildings' (not a favourite). Also has the UN and lots of jazz. Consequently I am a little envious. But I understand the possibilities that Si in New York offers us a a group of young, curious thinkers. For example - how fat is the US diet? Si has been given instructions to get fat, and fat he shall become. Or not, depending on the outcomes of this guinea-pig/Si experiment. Sorry, Des.

Bloody webmail. Bloody Steve Thomas.
