<HTML>Right, I've got it now South Parade is about 2 mins from work (St. Pauls Street).
1pm should be fine for me - I'll just let them know I'll be back late.
I'll work on the handshake (a bit out of practice) and contact the helpdesk to get the password.</HTML>

<HTML>It all sounds good to me. I've been working far too hard today.
It's almost home time and I'm only just checking the Fforum...

Dave, do we need to book ? I've never been at lunch so don't know how
busy it'll be. I should be ok for a long lunch. I'll keep the afternoon free
of appointments.</HTML>

<HTML>don't think so. I'll ask next time I'm up that way, probably tomorrow. Can I have a show of hands for a rough idea of numbers?</HTML>

<HTML>It's now definitely: me+friend David+Wilfred the penguin. He's been practising his dodo impressions recently (with rather limited success!) As for the possible cat, I can assure you that he is actually an _impossible_ cat, and taking him to a restaurant would gravely endanger what little remains of my sanity.

Don't cry, Bea! *hugs* Perhaps someone could bring a digital camera so we can put up some pictures of the event?</HTML>

<HTML>My bro has a digital camera, the swanky git. I nominate him as offiicial photographer. The pics could then be posted on my website, for all to see (provided they are fit to be seen, of course).</HTML>

<HTML>yay!

I'll post some of me and Ben when I develop my pics (the old kind, who'll need to be scanned later lol)</HTML>

<HTML>With a figure like Wilfred's, there's not a lot else that would fit him.</HTML>
