Good idea - seconded.

I'm sure you would be.

The feeling is mutual. I equally enjoyed the Duke21 meeting.

I know - I'm hot stuff (as the missus keeps on saying)  ;-)

I promise I'll behave. I've got another trip to London shortly, should
blow off some steam then. (i can hear the "what have I got myself
into" groans from Wigton already)

Schwuk  - last time I was in the Earls Court Area (about 9 months ago) I blew 300 in one
night - but I can remember every minute.  :-)

My best friend, who lives in Basingstoke, spent the same amount and cannot
remember from the time he took the train into London at 1300hrs that
afternoon.
