Glad u said "from Holland", I would have thought it
self-referential
otherwise :-)

You never apologies last year for being a drunked yob :-P

Ah, so you've been "volunteered" to provide the entertainment for
the
event then eh?
Some techy events have chicks in short skirts, some have....Ken Watt :-P

I was actually being a lazy bar steward about this, but since u r the
entertainment, hotel is booked & I am (attempting to ) writing the
cheque to Graham as we speak.

I'm sure the HV demo will be met with the reception it deserves :-)
One good thing about it is that at least there will be one less loud
person at the back of the room ignoring the demo and spouting about
<insert anything you like here> by virtue of the fact that they will
be
demoing at that time :)

More imressive no doubt than the HV demo, will be the universal
translator that no doubt accompanies it. :-O
That it will cope with both NI and Scottish accents is impressive in
it's own right!
(of course, us southerners (and, despite being Irish, I consider myself
as such) will think it but one accent anyway >;)

Right on the latter, if not the former:)

Except of course in the morning u won't remember that enlightening bit

Indeed, if Phil is going, it's not only a case of "place to eat",
but it
must also boast that essential tag "all you can eat" :0

(How many insults can a guy _get_ in one post????)
