Yep, and Spitfire is on special offer at the moment in our favourite 
haunts. (We did get biscuits at the Green's Mill Linux Awareness Day. (:-P))

Wow! If you're the one on the left, then your beard is spectacularly 
better than mine. A good 9/10 for Geekieness!!!

OK, confirmed geek.


You're very welcome with all us other youngsters. Sorry, but you've been 
resoundly beaten as _not_ being the youngest geek to attend. (No prizes 
for embarrasing the contenders.)

I'll also promise not to ask you to give a developer talk (;-))


Hope to see you at the next bash(s)... Or onlist even.

Have fun,

Cheers,
Martin
