Overheard in Senate House.

Dr. R: I see Nutt's in trouble over this business with the disco biscuits and horse-riding.
Prof. N: Yes, my daughter's made a new promotional poster for her local stables. "If you REALLY want to get off your tits, ride a horse!"
Dr. R: Didn't the chap who cross-marketed those emergency glowsticks to clubbers in the '90s make an absolute fortune out of it?
Prof. N: Oh, she's not that ambitious. It's only an A4 flyer for the noticeboard.
