tio suan siao by the self-styled simon cowell of debating

(debrief after a debate where our first speaker departed from the policy we agreed on and hence opened our entire case to a verbal broadside, and me as the 2nd speaker after attempting to clarify the gist of our policy and eventually having to rush through my whole constructive case in under a minute and eventually sounding like i spoke in tongues)

who-was adjudicating:

' you had a late advance having bring up your substantive only after the protected minute. so i penalised both your manner and method.....you sounded like a twelve-year old boy getting all excited at presenting what you found out in front of your class. '

simon cowell would have been proud of him.
