I may wait till July, Roger!

Well, I'm almost embarrassed by all the nice things you guys are saying -- I feel I ought to stay away at least a little while to justify my prompting you in the first place. The main problem with my internet access is paying the extra for a faster connection. Up till now it's simply been a matter of too much meanness and not enough incentive; when I'm gainfully employed again I'll reconsider -- we'll reconsider, I should say. At present, my BT servce only costs 1.5 pence a minute (1p at weekends); the cable system here in Milton Keynes was revolutionary when it was installed in the 70s -- the previous system was one of string and tin cans -- but it's hopelessly outdated nowadays, and doesn't do broadband, or even digital tv; the library is open at the normal times and days (whatever they are), but it's a few miles away, so it's a bike ride, which depends on the weather.

But I shall look in whenever I get the chance, never fear!
