    Much as I’d love to have been there, I have an Open Uni tutorial in Leeds which means coping with the Leeds Loop, must take tranquilisers before I do.

      All are welcome. Inadequacy is purely relative and I am the great-grandfather of the inadequates ;). If they let me in, you will be welcomed with open arms and several pints of beer :)
