Did you watch his speech today?

no, i went on your description. unless youre now saying that your report on the speech was a not a true reflection of what was said. in any event, ill check the dail record tomorrow

Handy day tomorrow? No PQs?

The most bizarre reaction ever. Because I said he responded to people, as he has to do, you assumed he was like father Ted. And you didnā€™t watch it. Fair play Art. Great judgement.
