I did the journey by overnight bus as well. You just get to sleep then
you are woken up at the stop in Southwaite.

Ok, I'll post it here cos there's no rendering happening to post in p.b.i.
I've crossed out work ref's because I don't want a bullet in my temple.
;)
This is how it's been for the last 8 years, and I know where everything
is! (Amazingly!)
Well, not quite true, I get stuck with image names now and again, so
'search' comes in handy.

Yeah, but I'm a blind git. ;) Well, almost. If you think this is bad, I
remember watching an early morning news prog where the interviewer was
addressing a Doctor for some reason, and behind the Doctor was his
computer - he didn't have ANY blank spaces! Should we be worried? ;)

She won't find them she'll know where they are.
I've only had this laptop less than a month and my wallpaper is half
obscured. Think what it will be like in a year?
You think PSP and the cursor goes there itself :) (Pov starts

Yeah, no it was a fairly wooshable statement. As everything's privatised
now a train service with few passengers is most likely unprofitable
therefore the company running it has three options - 1) Charge more. This
covers the cost of running the train at the price of losing customers to
whom the service is non-essential, therefore requiring you to charge more
to the remaining customers until you're only left with those who *have* to
use it being charged a small fortune. 2) Drop the service. Best option in
that you now have a free train and driver to put on a more profitable
route. 3) Get a subsidy from the government. Better option, you can still
charge a near-exorbitant fee and 'make-up' your losses from the taxpayers.

I don't know where 'Gordon Bennett' actually came from, but my
earliest recollection of it was from the series of "Please Sir!"

More worrying that a family surnamed Brown decided to call their son
James; shame he uses his middle name instead would have loved to imagine
historians of the future trying to work that one out.

Actually, her normal procedure is "now where did I put that?" and then to
use the desktop search tool. :-)

In my book, "I'm using a search tool" = "my filing system sucks". ;-)

Well, yeah, I could see that. Or you just don't have enough different
data classifications. ;-)
I've got a filing system on my system here that is pretty involved
because I do so many different things - unfortunately when I actually
need to use a document I'm sharing with others, I have to remember which
group I'm sharing it with to know which directory it's in.

My presence is not required "away" so I can make it :) If you drop me
an email at the address in the header I will post my mobile No. to
you. In case either of us are late.

With my absence, Dried Frog pills will not be needed; however, some
Klatchian Spirit Weed will probably elevate the conversation to a
suitable level of surrealism.
Have a great time.

You know something John? I met some truly nice people last weekend.
It's kind of like I wish I met you all *years* ago. :)
Anyway, here's to the future and some fun times! ;)
(And surrealism is fine by me!) Heh... :)

Yep, I'll be there. (Maybe not at 5 sharp, but I'll be there.)
You driving or taking the train?

I'll take the train, so I can drink. Drop me an email and we can swap
phone numbers in case of problems.

Neat.
Well, it was a hell of a lot more fun than what I spent the *rest* of my
