Dimsum will be served today at 12.30pm at the New World restaurant at 1 Gerrard Place in Chinatown. Sorry. Too far from London Bridge. Piers and I will be there. You are all welcome to come, especially if you have any ideas on how to make my Parse::RecDescent parsers work faster. Use Parse::FastDescent - oh, wait, that's not written yet. Er... give Damian lots of money so he has lots of time to work on Parse::FastDescent... ah... already done that :) Use Parse::Yapp? This call has cost you fourty squillion quid. Please call again! Bargain! Dave...

Bargain! ooh that reminds me .. there is a good scam going in the US .. you run a 'Investment information telephone service' .. which charges ~250 dollars a minute ... so obviously no one will use it .. so you send a bloke in a van round to every $BIG_CORP you can find with a parcel to be signed for by non existent person, personally. Since the person doesn't exist the guy asks the receptionist if he can use a phone to call back to the office .. apparently the number of $BIG_CORPs with unrestricted phone access at the reception desk makes this very worthwhile. -- Robin Szemeti The box said "requires windows 95 or better" So I installed Linux!
