Hide that blimp!

I missed a meeting this morning, instead atttending one which compressed four days of work¹ into two hours².

However, I did receive the 'handout' from the first meeting, a 30-page document "to which [one of the Pro-Vice-Chancellors] spoke".  A fifty-something professor lecturing an inanimate object.  Yep; pretty normal for a university.

Rather more alarming was the statement that our "undergraduates are inflated", affecting "the proportion of our students showing".

1: Of me struggling alone.
2: Of me nodding and smiling whilst the work was done for me – mildly embarrassing but THANK YOU, J!
