I "missed" yesterday ... and if you're wondering where I have been, let's have a look and see if we can find out ....
That's our presentation board for "Save the Train" - getting the story of the loss of service and the communities it served out to people.
A further presentation board? Yes, bu ....
On the railways, I've seen so many people interested in the trains and not the travellers - they're often known as the "Gricer"s and "Anorak"s - and I've attended many meetings / seen many pictures they've taken and read many discussions.

I got caught out by this one earlier today ....

There's a different 'metric' for courses in the different languages we teach - PHP programmers come in ones and twos much of the time, but almost all of the Tcl training we do is for larger groups of delegates, in private courses at their place of work. Why is this?

I accept that I should pay - somehow - for my internet connection when I'm staying away in a hotel, but having to make a decision between 3 pounds for 30 minutes, 5 pounds for 2 hours and 17 pounds for 24 hours or 69 pounds for a week at Premier Travel Inn (Via Swisscom) is always one of those issue ....
