On the grapevine

On the grapevine

Intimate Relations Officer

You Would have been pleased to see out Public Relations Officer, publicly relating with a member of the public recently. Actually it was in the Caledonian Lounge Bar where grand Mother of Six fell for the charms of Dan Bradshaw. "Oh —isn't he sweet!"

Heard in a moment of true confession, "It is an essential part of any AGM that the President sing his report or some other such, as the case may or may not be, in accordance with strict procedure based on precedent." The speaker? John McGrath.

Exec getting high handed

Executive have refused to follow a direction of the Annual General Meeting— they will not act in accordance with a motion condemning the existence of a security service in New Zealand.

No doubt there are very good arguments in support of their stand, but that does not make it a legitimate one. It's like a Magistrate refusing to follow a decision of the Court of Appeal. You'd think there were enough lawyers on exec to know that sort of thing just isn't done.

The debate was set down for July 21. It was not till the morning of the 14th that they were told of a "slight mishap."

Blissful Toro

Its A wonderful thing to be able to enjoy parties with true abandon. Toro manages this very well. Take Saturday before last for example. He bowled up to a stir with a flagon clutched under his arm, passed a few remarks to the odd bird, drank three flagons, and woke up the next morning to find he had brought an empty 41/2 keg home.
