Right, well here is my response to the events of last night. I have to say, while I deeply appreciate all the lovely, lovely things that have been said about me (and especially about my sense of style since I really don't put that much effort into it ) it is a fairly odd experience finding out exactly how you come across to your friends. Some of it is no surprise - someone once nicknamed me Bubblius Optimus at a toga party we had when I was studying Latin (in a previous incarnation). But some of it is completely new.
I now get the feeling that I should give up this terribly painful essay that I am currently engaged in writing and go and find an unsuspecting clergyman to marry so that I can spend the rest of my life making jams and crafts for the next church fete! That really would be playing to all my strengths in way that trying to make sense of what Niklas Luhmann is actually trying to say really doesn't}:) It may even make me happy!
Love you all and hope the heads aren't too sore! Wish me luck for tonight - he may not be a clergyman but he is an academic so that may be a step in the right direction. Oh dear - there is no way of conveying that I am very, very definately only joking};)

There is nothing that 2 pints of coffee, 4 pints of water and a sausage sandwich won't cure. You'll only knock 'em dead tonight, you don't need any poncy luck :) I had some trouble finding an appropriate quote in Julius Caesar, and I think all I actually achieved was 'not hugely inappropiate'. I was terribly tempted by the 'Cry Havoc' line but restrained myself :D Anyway courtesy of wikiquote, so if there are any mistakes, there not mine; here it is:
O, that a man might know
The end of this day's business ere it come!
But it sufficeth that the day will end,
And then the end is known
