During Debate Day 1 one delegate was heard to comment on "how close" Neil and Jess were, and "how well they get along". They followed that up by asking "how much older is Neil?" I wasn't sure but the next comment was more troubling: "They're like you and Julia"
Now Julia is my younger sister - she has debated for her school a few times, and won one of the Irish School's Mace competitions. Obviously, I get a lot of stick from everyone on the Irish circuit - "how do you feel about your sister being taller than you?"; "how do you feel about your sister being a better debater than you?"; etc - but I've never been accused of marrying her!
I've heard about people who have been together a long time, starting to look alike (see above - maybe this is what the Harvey-Smith's will look like in a few years) but I just don't see the resemblance between Neil and Jess.
Of course it also begs the question: what sort of relationship does that delegate have with their sisters?

Wow, you must be really bored. Go to Whistler or something. Or better yet, give us some of the drama from round 9. How did Yale A get knocked out?
Read somewhere that Yale A just got one point for rounds 7 and 8.
They met Helsinki A in round 9, where they were both at 15.
It's easy to figure out the rest.
