Ok we really ought to look at Thanet did somone not say last week that
they were going up to expo with UKC Compsoc so maybe if we pull some
strings we could get access to the uni....
My wife is 6 months pregnat too.
I'm based in Strood, but anywhere in kent is easier to get to than
central london. The more locations the more people we get involved and
the better lug we have...
