  1. @geekplanetmatt Very kind of you to say, dear boy, thank you!
  2. @tomabba Damned accountants think of everything...
  3. @tomabba Prove the second statement correct, and shoot one of the people who made the first.
  4. @JonCG_novelist Good point! But since I've got two subjects I can use the battery on both if they don't use the crank on each other.
  5. @GeekPlanetDave @geekplanetmatt @la_jellybean Watch it, you lot...
  6. Got a bit of a role reversal coming up this evening - I get to be the interviewER for a change! Anyone got a car battery I can borrow?
  7. @rodvik Just wanted to say hello, and that I hope you got my email.
  8. I am full of tofu. This makes me very happy.
  9. @Danacea And I dread to think how many vCards are pouring in all of a sudden!
  10. @Harkaway Aha, gotcha. Yes!
  11. @Harkaway Also true. I've a lot of time for the really good MMA guys, but there needs to be a clear, simple foundation before it gets fancy.
  12. @Harkaway Some bloody awful technique, too, from samples I've seen.
  13. @robinmckinley You can Pfft all you like, but there's no arguing with properly-fabricated subjective nonsense!
  14. And it's nice to spend a little time in London, too. Didn't catch up with everyone I'd have liked to, but when does one ever?
  15. Just realised what today's batch of travelling sadly lacks: lunch somewhere nice. But at least there'll be Doctor Who when I'm finished.
  16. @jearle Ooh, there's a pretty sight!
  17. @geekplanetmatt Dude, that review sums up most people's lives as far as I can tell.
