So, Mr Burnett, thinking of some of your previous comments about said former world championship challenger, I wonder if you will be camped out to get his autograph?
Great news btw.

Whatever do you mean, Mr Neave, sir?
I'm sure the lectures will be hugely interesting and well-attended, but they are not on a part of the game where I need most help - so at £150 I will likely not be attending.

In fact, a series of lectures on this same topic by yourself would be very interesting indeed!

It would be a lot cheaper too

Personal issues aside, this is a somewhat unique opportunity and surely the strongest ever player to give a lecture in Scotland?

"Unique" is an absolute state. Nothing can be "somewhat unique".
