humbert

I was going to try and get people to go to that, want to throw rotten cabbages at mary horney over certain bannings and general hating her, what's the odds on her trying it on with mr. hook??

is there something your trying to tell us humbert???
I suppose whatever turns you on:D

elmyra

Thinking of going if I manage to get my ass in gear and do some study today. I likes Hooky, and I am a debate nerd....it makes sense.

sportswear

year there is quite a line up of important people to abuse.......... and medsoc will be highly embarassed if nobody turns up....

Hermione*

I might go ... I really like Hooky, and my experiences of the health service in Ireland have made me really annoyed and angry about how it operates. Also, Harney has refused on at least one occassion to go Hook's radio show so it should be interesting to see him chair a debate she's participating in.

Dave!

aww... im in work. i love hookey

(notice that im not using capitals anymore... that's cos my left index finger is still infected, so it hurts to hold down shift *weeps*)

wouldn't you hold down the shift key with your pinky?

That's how i type anyway

humbert

Spot the one finger typest:D

Dave!

lol

Nah, I'm usually a fast typist, and I touch type

I generally use my pinky or ring finger to hold down shift, but then I have to use my middle finger or index to press the key to be capitalised. so that hurts now

(got a bit confused, thought i used my index to press down shift, cos i couldn't demonstrate )

Byrno

Might go to it but I'm all the way out in ET at the mo so don't know if I'll be able to drag my lazy self out there. Should be a really good debate though, kudos to MedSoc for getting that line-up.

Byrno

BTW panda do you know who the med student speakers are?

humbert

Ah crap, there's med speakers, still haven't recovered from that law soc fisco:mad:

Donal O' Connor, who was the Med Soc auditor last year and just finished his finals, will be speaking. There'll be loads of time at the end for people who want to ask questions.

Should be a great event. Here's what we sent out to everyone:

An Tanaiste Mary Harney TD, Minister for Health and Children
Dr Mick Molloy, NCHD Chair, Irish Medical Organisation
Dr John Hillery, Chairperson, Irish Medical Council
Mr Stephen McMahon, Chairperson, Irish Patients’ Organisation
Professor John Crown, Consultant Oncologist, St Vincent’s University Hospital
Dr Philip Nolan, Registrar, University College Dublin

Special Guest Chair: Mr George Hook, Presenter, Newstalk 106FM

Oh....except for the part where Panda didn't invite us to the free wine reception. She doesn't love us!!! *sobs*
