Bob Geldof has alot to answer for

We arrived in Edinburough just in time to be unable to get to our flat. Most of the city center (in which our flat is conveniently (?) located) was closed to cars, because there are hundreds of thousands of people-- called on by Bob Geldof and Bono and Colin Firth and other Brit stars-- to march under the slogan, "make poverty history." Which I can't argue with, of course, but it was darned impolite of Bob and the G8 not to consult my sabbatical itinerery before scheduling conferences and demonstrations. Well, I picked up a cool t-shirt, anyway. Here's a link to Bob Geldof's Live 8 campaign. http://www.live8live.com/whatsitabout/index.shtml
