Alas, I can't make it this year - I have a gig that weekend. They asked before Bits announced its dates for this year... :-/

Good stuff, there should be more of those employers, do they cover the beer too? 😀

Hmm, I think I'd be pushing my luck :D.

Which sessions are you going to?

Yes!!
I usually go on the Friday, but 23rd was to be my last day here at Reward so I couldn't really justify it. Now they've extended by a month, I've booked the day off. Happy days!

Yep, I will be there for Friday and Saturday.
Although I get in Thursday afternoon. Hopefully get into the quiz Thursday night.

Will be good to catch up with Chris and Eirikur.
Beatrix, don't think we have met, so it will cool to put a face to the name!

Cheers,

Rodders...

We haven't. I've only met Chris so far! (Chris, if I appear to blank you, say hi; I'm partially face-blind, which causes me no end of social problems :D.)

Hey L I will try to spot you but it's been a while. I could take a parrot on a stick if you like, just like they do at the festies 😉

That will be fine unless another joker also takes a parrot on a stick :).

Not at the moment no, went permy with his company about 2 years ago so no tax perk.
