OK, not an actual date. And not any lunch involved but it was at lunchtime!
I went to a lunchtime lecture by David Miliband! Not too sure why he is here, some involved story about the Icelandic president having met him in India when he was speaking alongside two other "great thinkers" and as they have already been to Iceland and given talks it was David's turn.
The talk was OK, not really my kind of thing economics, I tend to tune out at the word fiscal and lose the thread.
He looked younger and more normal than I expected. Bit annoying how similar his style is to Tony Blair's though. And "de-cade" still drives me nuts.
