Must be :) I sounds sort of unimaginative to use such a 'populist'
distro but it works for me really well :) When I tried Linux before it
was Knoppix and some Debian distro back then so I feel more at home
using something based off Debian; though I prefer having Gnome this time
around.

Uhhhaaa! My cover has been busted. I must get out of here! Oh I'm a geek
alright, too much of one. (Me says yawning after playing Frozen Bubble
way to late last night)

Yeah I saw the e-mail saying to get yourself on by today so I though
best to just do it.

I don't know Horsham that well either, only been there for training
before now. But the A24 would be best.

You'll find out if I am on time, or if I am fashionably late :)

Thanks that's ideal! I'll take a gander and if need be I'll drop you an
email exchanging phone numbers in case I am unsure.
