so who are you ISAW? keeping it secret? is he staff? ex-staff?

As to who I am not I have already replied. I don't intend to keep eliminating all the possibilities. Sure by that method you would know where Dr Scotts electric corset was!

Please judge me by my posts and by what I do and not by rumour.

If anyone wants to know who I am it would not be difficult to find out. You will find out eventually. But I do not think that is important. What is important (TO ME) is that you first decide what you think about me and whether what I say is valued.

I would add that while I am a "students guy" my main interests in what Trinity does is in how it relates to outside of Trinity, beyond the walls, and in that I mean from the local area all the way to China. Thats why I delve into traditions and why we have them and thets what led me to looking into the statutes and various legislative ramifications. Laws are made for people and the law should never scorn the rights of the people. I met Geldof after his hist "chat" last year. My position is that we can get very involved in elaborate schemes for saving drowning people out of a river. so involved we dont send anyone upstream to see who is chucking them in.

The Strategic Plan mentions a lot about "vision." The bits of Chapter 3 along those lines are my vision.

I could add more but this is not the thread for it.

ehh ok. sure pop down on friday and have a can with us in the sunshine, i'm sure that's your style.

also i'm not judging you, to be honest, i'm just skimming your posts so i won't judge you on them anyway.

My posts have now been removed (by me). In hindsight, I shouldn't be trying to 'out' people, even if just by implication. And my criticism makes little sense unless it's expressed in terms of who the author of the comments is. So 'on mature reflection' I've deleted them, if only to play fair.

I dont know what you wrote but I think from above it may have referred to myself.

I think the phrase was "mature recollection" but you might be to young to remember that time. It was recorded by a student at that time too!

I still don't know about the electric corset but does anyone know on what trinity Building the (non Museum non 1927) war Memorial is? Hint: It only has about a dozen names and is about A3 in size. Actually scratch that question I meant to write "can anyone recall" since there may be someone who posts here who I believe has knowledge of its existance.

For a second there, I was trying to make sense of an multi-name A3 sized building.

Same. Put it down to a blonde moment.

same ere , actually reading the sentence again, i'm pretty sure thats exactly the implication.. unless my english is worse than i believe it to be. Typo i'm sure, but a lil head wrecking

Note the lack of hanging prepositions? I did not write "the building it is on" I wrote "on what building ". Anyway thank you for your pedantic interjection. I think my meaning is clear but I will clarify. Trinity own three buildings. In or on those buildings there are War memorials. You have mentioned two of the buildings in this thread. Name a third.

I wrote "a" third since there might well be more. I put in the hint to help and got lambasted for it. Do you want another hint?

You know what I meant.
Now you are not getting that hint about it not being anything on the Boat Club or the House in Trinity Hall.

In fairness, I don't think he was trying to be pedantic..

People always can say what they liked. Most of the time they choose not to say anything and keep their heads down or say what they believe someone else would like to hear. I happen to say what I believe. Some people do not like it when I do so.

I would rather live speaking my mind than die fearing to speak.
