So you'll be buying the 42nd round?

Yes, but it depends on which year.

I visited the original Towers near Covent Garden in December 2000. In fact I think I was the first researcher to visit. It was very small! Laptops propped up on Yellow Pages, and Barbies to indicate who was busy.

At a later date I visited the BBC offices as well.

Mu wife has been pestering me for ideas about our next vacation (holiday in the UK) She said that she was not opposed to the UK, and this time she would like to come along (on my last trip, almost 4 years ago, she elected to stay at home). We have been considering several options - but today an E-mail came to my in-box confirming a 4 night stay on a a house boat near Bembridge IoW for the first week of May.

I still have to make make all of the other reservations, but I suspect we will be in Nodnol at the end of April
