You mean I spent a boring day waiting for my delayed flight in Heathrow when I could have been partying with
Hooky? Where was my Tardis? Hope you've recovered sufficiently by now,
Hooky and can look at the year ahead with straight eyes and crooked wit. Or vice versa.
Happy belated birthday also to
Lindale. In the internet world, Greenwich Mean Time does not exist.
And to
Rumil many happy returns--on time it seems! I hope you will reward us with many mathoms in the form of lots more posting here on the Downs.

Perhaps in future years we can persuade you to attend Oxonmoot.
