THE OUTCOME

Since they didn’t have a crowd, Janice decided to create one by organising a dinner party with Malcolm Schrot-Faith, Head Editor at the Guardian, which also turns out to be something she doesn’t want to talk about. We always worried about any audience for this project harbouring disdain, she said, rather than enthusiasm. I think I’d find it easier if Thomas was a complete wanker. But sadly, by definition, he isn’t even that much.

In the end, it failed miserably and everyone laughed at them. In answering the question, is Thomas Corfield innovative or stupid, it’s an unequivocal yes. Or more correctly, a stupid, incomplete wanker.
