I am chairing my penultimate Council meeting. To heighten the sense of occasion, and because it says to do so on my bucket list, I don the Presidential swimming gala medal. I am determined to get some use out of it before I am ousted from office. The Presidential swimming gala medal promptly falls to bits. I try not to take this personally. Mr Davies says he will send it to a professional super glue company to be fixed. I refrain from asking him to avoid the clearly amateur super glue company he sent it to last time. There is not much on the agenda today but we manage to string it out so we feel like we’re doing something productive. At 4.30 I get bored and leave to wash my hair. The EyePeePee gamely takes over to chair the not much that still remains on the agenda. Some folk look a little disgruntled, like it’s OK for every other Council member to arrive late or leave when things get boring or just fail to turn up at all, but the President is expected to suffer every last moment. However, if CIPA cannot even provide a decent, unitary Presidential medal, as opposed to a kit of parts of a Presidential medal, it cannot really expect its President to be fully committed to every last moment of Councilliar tedium.
