BTW, whoever wrote this page forgot to put the actual *date* that we're meeting up on it. I've been standing here in Hyde Park for three weeks now.
So far I have received:
5734 one pence pieces from commuters thinking I look homeless;
One hamburger from a nice commuter thinking I look homeless;
86 flyers for random nightclub events in London. Whoever writes these things is running out of ideas. They call the events things like 'The Event';
56,324 requests for 'The Big Issue';
247 pigeon droppings;
and 47 punches from people thinking I'm a mime artist.

Does anyone mind if I sit around taking pictures of researchers making fools of themselves during the game?

EV, that is no excuse. You have to play, I'm wimping out cos I still limp whan walking up the stairs.

Phil Posted May 11, 2000
EV you can do just that, as long as you don't complain when other researchers take pictures of you doing silly things also
Joe, are you sure you've remembered everything on that list. It does look a little short!

If any one gets to wimp out it'll be me. I'll have put in a full days work before catching the train down to London. I may be a little bit late arriving but I'll still be there, and willing to play
And as for looking pale, hey I've got first dibs on that. How d'you think I got the nickname of Pastey?

I'm SOOO bad at Softball and most other sports - my physical condition can be summed up by the fact that the most strenuous sport I do is Archery, which is hardly cardiovascular exercise now, is it? But then I'll be seeing you all in a few hours so you can judge for yourselves!

Factor 25 Sun Cream (I burn SO easily)
