H. P. Grice and J. O. Urmson -- or "Jim and Paul"

Speranza

Veale and Urmson     
I didn't know until I actually turned up to dinner, but tonight's dinner in college,  someone wrote, was a special meal by bequest of composer Douglas Veale and philosopher Jim Urmson - a fellow of the college for 40 years.
 
The main attraction was the choice of lobster or oysters for starter but, since I had soup, it made little difference to me.
 
It did mean a total attendance of over 20, compared to last week's meagre six.

It's actually been quite a run of dinners for me, as on Saturday my housemates and I had a special dinner to which we each contributed a course and then on Sunday my former housemate and his girlfriend invited me for a Greek-themed 'Symposium'.
