From: Greg McCarroll [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2001 10:43 AM [there are actually no spoliers left in this post so I'm removing the spoiler space] i'm a little worried that the next season will suck. lets wait and see if the warning signs are there, more weird settings i.e. they all get sucked into the movie casablanca and the episode is entirely in black and white, guest appearances from other shows/from major celebrities. Apparently they're planning a musical episode[1] Dave...

Another bug, when a script gets bleached anything preceding the use Bleach gets lost. #!/usr/bin/perl use Bleach; becomes use Bleach; This is probably not a good thing. I wonder if this has anything to do with MacPerl not needing the shebang line? I came to the same conclusion about MacPerl. It was a simple fix.

Re: Last Night
Morse Code, just to something that _looks_ like Morse Code. I'm glad you said that cos when I was in the audience I couldn't match up what I saw with what the program was (although I only got as far as character 3 so assumed there was some kind of preamble). Mind you, I only do 15-20wpm aural, barely 1wpm visual.
Re: Last Night
Really? Mine says "Marvellously hostile staff", "rudest restaurant in the world", "madhouse", "the abuse gimmick". Golden Dragon all the way! They are not rude - its a lie. The correct term I think is apathetic. However, don't expect eye contact while taking the order (they will be watching other people while you talk to them). Mind you, when you have a Wong Kei gold card (like myself) you get a private table away from all the commoners - and the people will actually talk to you. Red

Funnily enough the times I've complained about the food they've done something about it fairly promptly. Sure they tutted and rolled their eyes but they did actually fix it.

Paul (why should only children get to play with food?) I think it's a case of knowing what to expect. If you expect quick, very cheap food, that tastes OK then you are fine. If you want a romantic dinner for 2, forget it and go to any of the other places 2 minutes walk away. I've been there loads of times and a lot of the enjoyment comes from watching the faces of the uninitiated as they realise they have definitely come to the wrong place. Paul, why are you up at 4 in the morning ? /Robert

Sorry I didn't get to meet many people or stay very long, but Thursday nights are notoriously busy for me. I'd be interested in any opinions that people had about the venue as I'm still looking for a new home for our social meetings. It didn't seem too bad - my pints were 2.50 each, which for central London isn't bad. There were certainly space issues, however. I quite fancy the idea of going to different pubs, rather than sticking to a "home", but I'm like that so feel free to ignore me :-) Alex -- "I ask for so little.

There was a bit of a mix up - I booked in advance and asked for seating for 30 people but when I arrived they'd done standing space for 30 instead. Which was a bit of an arse. See the points people have with noise and smoke though. The TVRs were 34 quid each but had about 8 shots of vodka and 8 shots of tequila in and 6 cans of redbull. Which is quite expensive but not *that* bad. I liked it because it only took 20 mins to get home :)

Would someone like to give me an idea as to how many of these things are meant to be consumed by how many people. How is it presented? The impression I get from above is thas it is 1 TVR per person, in a 4 pint pitcher to last all night.
