Yeah, I think thats the fundamental difference between Alan and his ex
minions, not some fundamental difference in approach to life at all. I
went for a long time thinking meetings timed to start at 9am were a
bloody pest |-)

up early have a real tendency to think that those who dont are moral
degenerates and depraved |-)
