"We all walk the great gangplank of existence with its inevitable conclusion".
Well that's my summary of Div 2 of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit.

Yes, I've been talking to the Prof at the pub.
Turns out he's not such a bad bloke for someone called bloody Crispin and is so disillusioned with universities that living in Minjup looks like a distinct possibility.

Apart from fascist philosophers, he's also into birds.
There's a progam up North to save this little chap:

The Purple-Crowned Fairy Wren (Malurus coronatus).
After a few Coopers, we thought we might go.
Takes three weeks in August.
Must be more productive than teaching Cultural Studies 100.
You can do the latter, I'm now informed BTW, by watching TV one night and lecturing on it the next morning.
Can't understand why anyone would give up such a cushie number.

So it goes.
