Cool. I figure it'll be interesting to get gestures working on Linux - 
but there is support for many of the Wacom devices, so that'll be 
interesting.

Hoegaarden?  I don't think I've heard of that, will have to google it and 
find out more about what it is.  Hmmm, looks interesting.

Jambalaya is very good when made properly.

A couple of friends of mine from Edinburgh used to think the way you do 
about wings; they're coming to town in March, and I know they're going to 
want to go to Squatter's just for the wings.  Seriously good grub.

Had the fish & chips.  The batter was a little soggy, sadly, so it wasn't 
as good as I'd hoped.
