Carlton?

[jack]

Should I stay in, have dinner, watch angel, tidy up for guest tomorrow, and spod about surreal numbers, their use in defining fixed rules to let "pick a number" include infinity in magc: the gathering and other board games, and whether there is or is not any subtle sexism in Knuth's dialogues about them?

Or go to the Carlton, have ravioli, and wave at people pre-quiz, including Pippa who I rarely see? (I probably won't have the tuits to stay and quiz.)

PS. R. will hopefully meet me in the Carlton tomorrow, if anyone is curious to meet.

I am curious about what leads you to think there may be sexism.

Oo, a quiz. Am halfway tempted to go, although I won't know anyone.

There seem to be many pub quizes about. (To me it always feels like non-free-rice spelling quizes, the questions are never at a level I'm useful with unfortunately :)) The Carlton has one every weds, to which a couple of people often go; I don't think you actually _know_ any of them, but they're the _sort_ of people you know, they know sally and matthew and you'd probably be able to pick them out of the crowd :)
