Aha! I have no work on that Wednesday evening due to a shift swap, so I'd be very happy to attend the social. Book me in!<div>Rory<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 2 December 2010 01:15, Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin@ml1.co.uk">martin@ml1.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Thanks to Chris for a good and very practical demonstration of how<br>
WordPress pages are pretty much bolted together. The web browsers do<br>
some very good work in how they 'float' the pieces around on the display<br>
to put together what you finally see. A very nice progression away from<br>
the old days of 'frames' and 'tables'...<br>
<br>
Thanks also to Pete for some unexpected Christmas cheer! :-)<br>
<br>
Good also to welcome a couple of new faces to the group.<br>
<br>

<br>
After being 'regulars' for rather a long time, all no more...<br>
<br>
The Navigation is up to let and the installed 'caretaker' landlady does<br>
not wish our presence there. Even though we were clearly her main<br>
business for the evening, we were not welcomed. I'm quite taken aback<br>
being as we had chatted during our group meet the previous month, and at<br>
that time all appeared fine. I think we were all rather surprised! So...<br>
<br>
We did a hop over to a nearby pub where Chris gave his talk/demo.<br>
Unfortunately, that one closed at 9:30pm! I guess Wednesday evenings are<br>
a little quiet in that area...<br>
<br>
<br>
I've already reconnoitred a couple of other establishments in the nearby<br>
area. Both serve a good and wide selection of excellent beers, have a<br>
quiet space for us, were open for the full evening, and will welcome us<br>
over. Also, one serves food all day and into the evening. To be chased<br>
up ready for our January meet.<br>
<br>
Suggestions/recommendations for any other venues are welcomed also.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Our next meet is our Christmas social Wednesday 15/12/2010 at Kayal:<br>
<br>
Tasting Kayal and Kerala<br>

<br>
As discussed, the Southern India 'backwaters' style cooking has tasty<br>
spices that /don't/ blow your head off. It's a 1000 miles away from the<br>
blow-your-bits-off-vin-de-loo and is much more for good tasting cuisine.<br>
<br>
Mmmm... I'm getting hungry already.<br>
<br>
I've booked a table. Please let me know so that I can confirm numbers.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers All,<br>
