Last night a punt was stolen from King's. I was sitting with the vice-admiral of the punt committee at the time, so three of us made a dash in pursuit of the stolen ship, first by bike, then by - er - punt (not the speediest means of transport ever invented). Three hours later, we hadn't located it. A complete mystery. My body got some much-needed exercise in the process, though.
In other news, I'm writing a book review. In fact I've been working on it for almost a week now! It only has to be 600 words, but summarising and critiquing 300 pages in that tiny space is proving a VERY tall order. The book's called 'India and the World Bank' and it essentially does what it says on the tin (albeit tediously). Can't wait to get the damn thing finished. Writing super-concisely is more like completing a jigsaw puzzle than stating an informed opinion.
Q: Which country has been the recipient of the most World-Bank aid since 1944?
A: India! About $74bn in total.
