Duly noted, and will start running around the building to ensure enough wheeziness for an episode of heavy breathing.

Hm - does your mobile phone only work when it is moving? ;-)

Hi Andy, did see your PM but am trying to finish a paper that's due in today, and don't have time to change the webpage, but will do in future, and thanks for the notice! (Procrastinating on Mudcat is a necessary evil.)

No hurry, it happened a few times in the past that PMs I sent did never reach their recipients ...

And as long as Loughstock III will not be procrastinated ... ;-)

Giok is on the ferry going Yippee and Mudguard is at Miccas falling over cats and Khatts! Skarpi is on his way... I see Gioks' Yippee and raise him a Whoo Hoo!! Getting really excited... and with my new-found energy, it's not a pretty sight!

(in dark, menacing overtones....)
And so it begins...

Landed safely and on time in Stansted and converted into a CHVM (Combat Home Visiting MudGuard) when I arrived at Micca&Katts place!

Seems like a nice record number this year. No doubt most of you won't see this until you get back, so not sure if to say 'hope ya'll have/had a good time?' :)

Well either way it's really nagging at me I can't be there enjoying it with everyone. Was hoping very much to see many of you again, and anyone who reads this board before leaving; hope ya'll drink a pint in honour of those missing.

I look forward to seeing some pictures :P so hope there are some good'ens taken heh
Gah! Well regards to everyone going, and the enigmatic friendly locals. Have fun ya'll. :)

Having found the camera battery charger unit in the nick of time (i.e., in time to charge the battery) there will be photos..... most will not be savoury or suitable for those with a nervous disposition.

I am here, in a relatively pleasant-weathered Portaferry. I've been out for my morning run along the shore, I've drunk tea and ate snowballs, I've dusted my fiddle, and I'm all ready to go to Fiddlers at 3pm. The weekend has begun. Hoorah!
