An Unsuitable Discussion

Gentlemen-
Who's up for some grub and a 10-minute discussion of P.D. James's novel (wedged somewhere into a two-hour conversation on various other topics)?

Next week is looking best for me. How about Thursday 3/26?

Can't think of any place in Provo serving genuine English cuisine, so how about Green Panda instead?
