Have seen Gelder on the teev too, just can't really remember what he looks like! merde.<BR/><BR/>During (heh) <I>was</I> imperturbable, as unflappable as the present Leader of the Opposition in a Jones interview. And Rodney was right pissed about it all.<BR/>What a shame I don't still work in ABC archives, could have dug it up for you possibly.<BR/>I am quite looking forward to the stream-of-writing-programs school of writing (dash it, that pun needs some work). And it would be surprising if the prize excluded someone at some point. That would provide some kind of frisson. At least.<BR/>Anyways I see from Fugitive P. that James B. is in the know.

I hope not -- I rather like it the way it is.<BR/><BR/>I <I>always</I> regretted missing the During v. Hall confrontation. Hall has been known to express his dislike of 'academics' quite intemperately in the past, more than once, and Simon would have been imperturbable in the face of it, I should think.
