I (like Brian) am going through Sydney in a couple weeks, though I do plan on getting to Brisbane at some point.

The beer is better than decent at the Wig and Pen.

Derrida derider,

The RSSS is not a structure to reduce teaching loads; it removes them altogether.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

ontology tends to recapitulate philology . . .

Kieran, you damn well that RSSS contains multitudes – its got everything from historians to sociologists, archeologists to economists and also (yes) ontologists.

I suspect its just a structure to reduce people’s teaching loads.

And the bush capital is in the middle of a drought yet again – please bring the Irish weather with you.

Kieran,

The beer is better than decent at the Wig and Pen. Me, I used to drink at the Pheonix.

Canberra is a nice town, except it’s too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and burns down every sixty years – really, what more do you want in a national capital ?

I was going to warn you about the Brisvegas yeti- a strange bearded creature whose territorial markings are oft referred to by scientists as ‘econoblogs’, but it appears he’s already onto you…

I hadn’t realised Brisbane was on the way to Canberra. I’d always changed planes in Sydney. It seems I leave home for a few months and they change everything around on me.

Missed you by a few hours. I’ll be out at the airport later today.

Don’t worry – your luggage will be returned when they’ve finished removing all the marijuana.
