“....the number 6 bus from Hackney Marshes....." The no 6 runs 24 hours from Aldwych to Willesden Garage in NW london - http://tinyurl.com/3unufv7 - Hackney is in the east. Perhpas you should get out of Bath more? Might broaden the mind, rather than the backside.....
".....grudge against Bath University?" Perhaps you should ask Robert McKie or Faith Butt that question....”

“what is the source of Anil's grudge against Bath University?"...............
Be patient Roger whilst I consult my Tarot Cards...........Ahh! I have a Joker and a Knave. We are doomed to suffer his nonsense forever. The number six bus from Hackney Marshes will be running late, whilst Bath's Railway Station is to be given a lift, or is that ramped up a gear... The Ace of Spades got in the way.”

“The only connection with the university is a commercial one. They're just hiring out rooms for a conference held by the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena, a London-based organisation (where I understand all sorts of strange people hang out). Incidentally, what is the source of Anil's grudge against Bath University?”

“This'll help get the country out of recession then.
Hopefully nobody will turn up, then I can creep in the back door and whisper "is anybody there?"”

“Absolutely joning. If it cost less to run, it would be better and affordable. Why should the VC get 260k per year? That's double what the a pro-VC earns; there are 3 of them. Get the feeling that's 2 more pro-VCs than needed?
Maybe that's why they are hosting events like this. Must be worrying to have all your earnings - 30k per overseas student on average - go on a salary bill for management.”
