MESSAGE FOR WEEK BEGINNING 15th November 2004

Queensland Swimming Story

I thank all those who sent in suggestions to the principles involved in the Queensland swimming story. In general there was agreement about asking 'the right question etc'. There were one or two stronger comments such as:

"Never trust an Australian (if you are a Brit)"
"Never trust a man (from a woman)"

It is an interesting exercise to take any joke and seek to extract some serious point from it. I am not suggesting this is always possible - but it is fun to try.
