 Hi folks, Won't make it at all as started a new job this week. Cheers, Stephen
|
|
 Best of luck with new job mate - hope it's a good one, fit PA, expense account, company bicycle 
|
|
 Oh my, is anyone still speaking to each other? Maybe a collective group hug maybe in order... (bagsy between PT and Mrs Did  )
|
|
 That's a pity Stephen (not being able to make the meet that is!) but good news on the job front. Still Belgium based?
|
|
I've got a lightsabre....It goes vroommm, whosh wosh and scares the cats.

I do hope so Rocky otherwise it's going to be a quiet night in the ODG!

Hi Kelvin, Nice one mate, no fit PA or expense account but still keeping an eye out for the company bike. Hi AT, Still base in Belgium alright, its a shame I cant get over for the meet but as soon as I have enough holidays built up I will definitely get over. Cheers, Stephen

 Sorry you can't come, Stephen, I was hoping to talk Irish hills with you! On the other matter, ironically today I had a graduate seminar which included some stuff on how to critique the work, opinions and ideas of others without resorting to vitriol The kind of situation where you politely and effectively demolish someone's research paper, then go down the pub with them for a friendly drink.
|

I like that thought Kate... and very eloquently put.
|

Hi Kate, Its a bit of a pain I can't get over but I would have to take two days off work if I wanted to make it for the weekend as the flights aren't at great times and its too far a drive. It would have been great to talk about the Irish hills with you at the meet but I will definitely make it to Wales before Xmas as Brussels to Cardiff is a six and a half hour drive if I use the Channel tunnel car service and would only have to take one day off. I always think the pub is great leveller Be good
