    All welcome.
    Are there any questions? :cool::cool::cool::cool:

    Thanks goes to this year's auditor, Chris, who can be contacted via email, the new committee, and of course to Mr. Randi, who has gone out of his way to visit us! And his visit with the UCD Humanists is his only Irish appearance!


    For all the info needed, see this post.

    When, at my funeral, people call me a blackguard, a sociopath and an untrustworthy blasphemer, I expect you to tell them how once I did you a kindness.

    Thanks. I suck at computer stuff. The sad part is 18 years ago I probably could have made it smaller myself, but not today..... :p

    to see what he is up to nowadays and see if his prize money
    for his challange is still ongoing.

    Yes; the two euro student fee is essentially to buy membership of the society for the year so if you already have it no need to pay twice. Bring your membership card for a speedy entry! Otherwise your name will need to be located on a membership list.

    I'd be late getting to it from college, I'll wait a while and if there's still space available closer to the time I'll go, don't want to take a place from someone who could be there for all of it. :pac:

    Comfortable footwear encourages moral decadence.

    Actually, thinking about it, I'm not sure "moral decadence" even makes sense, but it's wonderful anyway.

    A moral question.
    Is it right to leave early from a job you've been in for a total of 4 days to see Mr. Randi in Dublin?

    Sorry to hear that guys. The Irish Skeptics had James over a couple of years ago in the RDS with the Irish Times and he gave an excellent talk (I actually think it was the same talk)! He spoke for two hours or more and was incredibly energetic. Would have been well worth seeing again.

    Does the Pope s*** all over the hearts and minds of thousands of Catholic rape victims the world over?

    Life will go on and we will move past this tragedy....:)
