Annual Dinner


Dear love birds, with the upcoming CBRC annual dinner fast approaching, there will no doubt be a few sharks and dark horses out there polishing up their one liners and readying their fancy pants in the ever optimistic hope of some inter- or intra-squad action. Rest assured that the Gurtarazzi will be on hand to take snaps and facilitate wooing. Would any singletons out there like to make yourselves known? DateLush is launched...

This year, the two key pieces of information to remember are: (1) Mud Dock is the venue (or ‘Muddock’ as Emily likes to call it); (2) Haddock is the fish (or ‘Had Dock’ as Emily likes to call it). CBRC’s very own tsetse fly expert has worked tirelessly this year to bring us the prospect of a highly sophisticated night. Yes folks, if you’re lucky, while you’re enjoying your pan fried water vole with cabbage jus, Dr Adams will regale you with her range of amusing anecdotes. Just last night, I heard her whisper over the coxbox to her spellbound crew: “Trypanosomes are the causative agents of many diseases of medical and veterinary importance, including sleeping sickness and nagana in Africa, and Chagas disease in South America. Two, take a stroke”. Incredible.

And, unlike the trypansosome, how many flagella does an eight have?
