Well I know the Audi goes (yes, it can do 140mph! :-) ) but I'm not 
sure it'll do that 4up and anyway those tricks are best reserved for 
_very_ late a night.

As it is I was assuming we'd be working some of Sunday as well.

I think it was a comment on the project in Ghana (or was it Kenya?)
where the money for two hotels had ended up building a hotel and some
expensive flats.

I've a friend who works for the ECGD - she's going to get _such_ stick!

I tuned in halfway through an item about ECGD (the UK Govt's export credit
guarantee department), which was something to do with two hotels they helped
fund in Ghana, which turned out to be one hotel and a load of apartments,
presumably without any refund to the poor old UK taxpayers... - hence the
shirt - two hotels != one hotel and four houses...

Ah !

I was working a little hard, looking at the T shirt and thinking 2
hotels equals a hotel and a row of houses WTF ?

Thanks

You can have two and Red gets the other two. I'll explain how it all
works tonight, but it'll be easier all round if the four of you could
meet in the pub before the show.

Are you sure you'll be back from Newark in time?
