Depends on traffic, but possibly me not that long after.
Look for old git who should know better drooling over Mac Pro's with
high end graphics cards.

Also just look for the cluster of mysteriously failing hardware around
where Zoara is standing.

We're not going to be there, so there's probably no point anyway ;-)

All the best with the latest round - fingers very firmly crossed for you.

There are several around, at least one in Kingston. By which I mean a
crossing where traffic in all directions is stopped while pedestrians
can cross. The main difference is that they haven't got the cross-mark
on the road. Big fuss about bloody nothing if you ask me. Bah. Humbug.

Wanna go out and meet people. Can't. Boo.
