Looks like I won't be allowed to forget it for a while either if you
have anything to do with it. Wonder if Simon still remembers that
dreadful moment? IIRC I was preparing a guide to Welsh pronunciation
or something similar for Darren to compare Welsh against Irish and,
well, the real time translation device in my skull combined with it
being fairly late at night suffered a slight failure. I well remember
the fluury of typing activity going on that night and
suddenly...nothing. I could have died.

There is also an issue of International QL Report magazine somewhere
where either Bob Dyl or Dick Taylor (forgot which of the two) managed
to include details of a Hard Dik Interface...I remember speaking to
Bob Dyl about it at the only UK show he attended in Bristol (Clevedon)
one year and could you see the genuine embarrassment on his face that
such a typo had got through to the magazine.
