Oh well... good luck to Salient

"All 6,000 issues of this week's Salient are being held in an unidentified, secure location at Victoria University at the moment, after our Vice-Chancellor took out an ex parte High Court injunction against us. We got served."

This reminds me of many, many years ago, when I wrote a letter to Salient and rather recklessly claimed that someone on campus who had organised (badly) a ski trip was "an incompetent c*nt".

This fellow, whose name I can even recall, was unhappy about this & a few days later I received a call from his lawyer...

To cut a long story short (it turned out to be quite a good trip after all, if memory serves, involving drugs, copious amounts of alcohol, mandolin players (don't ask) & even some good old fashioned apres ski scoring (I got served too) - and of course skiing! Possibly. I can't remember much of it), I avoided threatened legal action by writing another letter, this time apologising for calling the gentleman "incompetent". He was happy with that.

I guess that's irrelevant... but never mind, mention of Salient always reminds me of nearly being sued by that indignant fellow.
