It's been noticed by several people that last term we were promised that a number of speakers who couldn't come in Michaelmas were 'confirmed for Hilary,' including Gerhard Schroeder and Carol Vorderman. Of course, they're now not in the termcard. No explanation so far, but as soon as I can get hold of Stuart I'll post it up. My money's simply on no-one remembering to ring them and confirm a date.
