Let me know the cost and sort out some dosh.
Don't know if I can make the next technical meeting as my missus has
decided to rejoin her band after the 3 month layoff. They rehearse on a
Thu
round the corner from St
Phillips Cathedral on Colmore Row).
Have fun!
Barbie
D'oh!
Still suffering the jetlag of the train home last night and getting < 3
hours sleep (well that's my excuse).
So Dave do you need me to send this to dave [at] dave.org now?
Barbie.
London for more meetings, much
to my annoyance as I was looking forward to meeting Damian Conway again,
but if any of you happen to be in or around Birmingham feel free to
email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you can help me drown my
sorrows (as if I needed an excuse).
Later guys...
Barbie.
al report was even worse, all wrapped
up in management BS that can destroy a career after only ever having seen
one 30 minute lesson.
Barbie.

nmake and hope it works under windows from

The good thing about PPM is that it does all the installation for you. the
bad thing is that it doesn't run any tests. Then again seeing as they've
done the job of porting the package you'd hope it was tested at their end.
At least that's what _I'm_ hoping.

er company I
worked for had headache after headache with VisionFS. Then we installed
Samba (well they.. I just looked on nodding in all the appropriate places
saying umm and ahh alot) and wondered why we hadn't done it earlier.
Barbie.
n pocket, would anyone be interested in sharing a room with a
Birmingham.pm'er? Or know of any other hotels (within walking distance from
the conference) that are cheaper?
Barbie.
bly not...

here is a British Airways flight direct from
Heathrow to San Diego for just over £680 for the month of July. Discovered
that I can get an extra 20% off the cost of the tuts and stuff though, so an
extra discount on the flight and some cheap accomodation and I'll be in for
definite.

Never mind, I will have to investigate further for future use. Thanks for
the help.

Which is precisely what this install of ActivePerl sits on. Luckily I have a
Linux box too :)

I remember going to see Executive Decision at the cinema and the whole

g of the "comedy" S.O.B., where a film director decides his
wife (played by Julie Andrews)should go topless to increase the film's
rating and the director's flagging career. Oddly enough the film is directed
by Andrew's husband at the time, Blake Edwards. Life imitating art or visa
versa?

ssion of George I in 1714. Doggett provided for a cash
prize and "an Orange coloured Livery with a Badge representing Liberty" to
be awarded to the winner. Although the colour of the uniform has changed
from orange to red and the cash prize is no longer awarded, Doggett's decree
continues to be fulfilled."
This internet thing is quite interesting really once you get the hang of it.
Do I get half a pint for knowing the coat was originally orange?

And for anyone bored enough, the coat looks like this:

Last time I downloaded (build 623) they had both the explanation about the
installer and a direct link to it on the M$ site. Even the install notes
page makes no mention of it. Pretty poor if you ask me.

Is this the modern doctored version or the traditional version?
Barbie.
the bbc site, but that was earlier in the
year when I was living that other life, blissfully unaware I was about to be
made redundant :)
Barbie.
to embrace the Pagan holidays
seeing as they are celebrated more evenly throughout the year. Plus they
don't glorify death and have a healthy celebration for life.

One celebrates life, the other glorifies death. Art and Science are not so
extreme.
BTW I'm not a Pagan, just in case you're wondering.

Are you saying it isn't a religion or there is another one?
Barbie
#x27;t think you could call Billy Bragg a folk singer. His more aptly
titled moniker of "Bard of Barking" is probably more representative of what
he does. Tells stories set to music. he might not be the best singer in the
world, but then it never stop Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix. each to their own I
suppose.

Now I'd pay to see that :)

You can tell what Bob is singing! I had to get the Dylan Songbook to
learn the words ;)
Barbie
PS: I have several albums by Billy and Bob, but I still don't class them as
folk singers. The Houghton Weavers, The Spinners, The Knigston Trio, My
missus now they're folk singers.
