Positives:
a) Lots of visitors and new faces (staff-wise).
b) The hotel owner recognises me now and I can 'skip the queue' whenever needed and don't need to book via Laterooms from now on

c) My birthday cake - still some left in the fridge

d) The beer session at Wetherspoons until 10:30pm - we'll have to do that again next time as there was so much lovely beer to choose from

Minor negatives:
a) Pity we couldn't have today too .. the queues were almost out of the door whilst we were packing the stuff away.
b) The DivIDE dying on the Friday afternoon. That's mine, the one from The Lass and now the RCM ones - all duffers in one way or another. There's got to be a way to resurrect them.
c) My 6128 proving it can CAT a disk and that it's the 12V supply on the monitor that's knackered. Was all hoppy & skippy and lalala .. until it tried to load something. Fail and a diagnosis of knackered RAM from questor, Phu and confirmation by the tech bods over at CPC Wiki forum. Whenever I feel the retro love, it bites me in the arse
d) Some personal bad news I received on the Saturday evening just as we were finishing off but won't go into it here. These things happen at one time or another.
Roll on the next one @ Snibston, whenever that will be.
