were follow-on's
Dave G reviewed JayCon in Oregon as a good time was had by all
Julie reviewed the latest Dr Who episode as 'completely inane and how
governments work' and still worth stealing

reviewed the Marriott's internet as 'definitely variable' - and then
expressed a forlorn hope & then reviewed the Phoenix Leather and Uniform
Ball as it has kind of been declining but was mostly worth full price
Dave C reviewed 'The Trial of tony Blair' as a lot more of a farce than
