Tim, I hold you responsible for making a right royal mess of the do Lectures letters and info I was sent through. There I was drinking my coffee and reading my post, and saw that you were going to be attending. Cue choking on coffee and spraying the table. Seriously cool stuff, look forward to meeting you. PS I could do with some strong words of advice for spending less time online 8-)
