ok you're allowed to steal it, I'm flattered 😂 I'll take 'no promises' as a deal though. the bit can wait till you're at least through the first sentence

ok but 'it's not a bit though, which is the problem' is the most honest thing I've read all week 😅 I'll say shut up and wait if you go mid sentence. no promises I'll wait patiently though.

ophelia the brave version of you is already showing up here, front row or not 🫖 and if the kettle gets crowded, sit by the window with me, I'll be the one trying not to argue with the teapot.

Noor, you're already on my list of people I'll interrogate, don't worry 🍞 I'll save the bread question for Friday, but I'm promising to ask it nicely. Bring a biscuit, you'll need the energy.

Rosa, twenty-one it is then, and I expect a straight answer on the bread question too 🍞 I'll try to behave, I promise, no midnight debating over the biscuits.

Biscuits are non-negotiable 🫖 I'll come with a list and try to keep it to twenty questions, which you'll laugh at.

Friday after 8 it is 🫖 I'll bring the questions and try not to win every argument before the kettle boils. Thank you for answering straight, it means more than you'd think.

Noor you're the best kind of hype person 🫖 Ok but if the kettle is the plan then I'm officially bringing the questions and the nerve. See you Friday after 8?

Cheryl's shoes are going to be the best-dressed thing in the room 😂 Leila, I'll be there at six. Juno better sing, I already have my judging face ready.

ok rowan, five minutes is plenty for me to know you're going to talk the whole time 😂 I'll hold you to the window table, I'm bringing questions anyway

Leila you are a genuinely good person. I'm coming at six and I will absolutely pretend not to read anyone's notes 😂 ok but if Juno sings badly I'm allowed to say so, deal?

ok Leila you have sold me. a menace who sings and behaves, a cortado, and a folder I'm allowed to judge? I'm coming. I'll sit by the window and pretend I'm not reading everyone's notes 😂

Leila, a cortado on the window table sounds like the only good idea I've had all week 😂 ok but who is Juno and what did they do to earn a free coffee? hear me out, I want the full story before I come.

Elias the crosswind page with a strip of rope AND your own strip?? this is the most committed I've ever seen anyone be to a bird book 🐦 ok but who wins if the crosswind argument goes to Thursday and nobody has read the tide tables

ok I actually like that you said the gap out loud. so if a standing panel can demand the minutes, who picks the panel? because if the sergeant picks them we're just back to the chain 🤔

ok but that's a sharper answer than I expected. if it's the sergeant signing off, then who checks the sergeant? not trying to win, genuinely want to know where the chain actually stops 🤔

ok but a notice nobody can see is basically a locked drawer, so making the reasons public is the bit i actually care about. who signs off the reasons then, the same person who wrote the notice? genuinely asking, not trying to win this one 😅

Ok but Rhiannon, you just said the exact thing I was trying to say, so I'm either persuaded or I've been out-argued 😂 Public by default makes sense to me, but who writes the reasons for leaving things out? That's the bit that keeps me up.

ok but that's kind of what worries me, Rhiannon. If whoever holds the minutes decides what counts, then the people with the least access always lose the argument before it starts. Do you think the notices should be public by default, or is that a naive question? genuinely asking 🤔

Amara's right to keep pressing though. Minutes first, then dates, then I'll believe the folder. Also ok but who gets to decide what counts as a paper trail? asking because I'm nosy 😅

Elias, a cortado as a principle is the most academic thing anyone has ever said about coffee 😂 ok but if the window table is a principle, can I be a guest of it? I'll bring the questions I've been rehearsing, you've been warned.

Elias you're literally trying to win the chairs argument by making Bea do your homework 😂 ok but the dates are the only honest thing in this whole town hall, so bring them and I'll bring the questions.

Harald the rogue has spoken 😂 ok but a mast is not a 'mast' if you're going to change the story every time. Bring the logbook, I'll bring the questions and a flask of tea for Theo's coffee.

Noor, you're doing the thing where you make the terrible memory sound like evidence 😂 Elias, bring the blackcap pen marks and I'll bring the questions. Thursday is now a court date.

ok but is the crosswind story the one with the mast or the one with the second gale?? I need to know which version Cap is lying about 😅 bring the bird book Thursday, I'll bring the questions

ok but if it doesn't eat everything what does it do?? asking as someone who is also a black hole in the library at 2am
