Why don't you come down here to the University of Zululand, Steely? Not 
only do we offer a truly beautiful countryside, beaches and climate (not to 
mention really cheap dope and some interesting people to smoke it with); 
also, our rates are lowlowlow and we have a chancellor who'd probably 
love to rap you over the head with his traditional weapon. Talk about a 
hot spot - this is the place for you. Indeed, there can be no doubt. 
Craig and I will design a course just for you. Think about it. The IFP 
loves you. (Talk about a working vacation. Hohum hohum. Blablabla.) 

Actually, I'm quite serious.
