I sent an email to Stephen Metcalfe MP at 10:38pm on Thursday 27th asking him to explain which parts of the conclusion proposed by Mr Stringer that he disagreed with and why he voted for the severely cut version instead.

I was very surprised to receive a phone call from him less than an hour later at 11.30pm!

He mentioned lots of people talking about party whips being the reason he voted (and that not being the case) and that the summary had been written by the chairman, although he backed down later on this and said it was written by the committee. He said that Graham Stringer was not willing to modify any of his conclusion and that is why they were forced to come up with an alternative. I tried to ask him about some particulars of Mr Stringer’s conclusions and he would not go into them as he was away from the office. so I arranged to phone him back the next day in office hours.

Unfortunately the next day he sent me an email saying:
Thank you for taking the call last night. I think in hindsight we are never going to agree on this and so why waste each others time. All I can say, is that I vote in a way I thought best represented the evidence we had taken.

Maybe Steve McI is doing something important at the moment; if not he could have a look at this

and find out how this fellow gets his hockey-stick.
It seems interesting to me because it uses other data than usual, and, who knows, it is maybe aviable.

Tom,
Excellent point.
We seem to be stuck in an eddy pool.

Kim,
Haiku is a form of Oriental poetry, consisting of 17 moras in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively. This one is short.

The poem “V-2″ is your shortest yet. Is it an Oriental haiku_ZIP?
