What an amazing ride. We went from thinking the lights might go out, to having some hope we could run it ourselves on a shoestring, to actually developing a plan to realize that hope, to meeting Robbie, Aly and Brian, to forming an alliance with them in order to win the bid, to several back and forth contractual things, to forming Not Panicking Ltd and signing the contract.
It makes getting a mortgage and buying a house look positively simple.
Now we have 29 days, well 28 and one-half days, till Auntie Beep says, "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."
I'm supposed to be managing the comms, like Uhura in original Star Trek. Nichelle Nichols looked amazing in a miniskirt, so I'm going to go buy myself one today.

Don't forget the funny sticky-thing she always had in an ear as well. (Though it looked right uncomfortable)

That's the best justification to buy a miniskirt I've ever heard.

If I'd known the Comms role came with compulsory miniskirt wearing I'd have considered voluenteering myself 
It all still seems a little unreal.... Just wish I had more time and more focus to get mor einvolved in helping out more proactively at the moment

I'm glad I volunteered for what I did, so I won't have to wear any miniskirts. You lot will be relieved as well.

I propose that the wearing of miniskirts be made compulsory! 
Really wondering if its time to think about organising an autumnal London meet, but that might be tricky to try and do whilst teh site is in the process of being moved...

Srsly, you will NOT want to see me in a mini-skirt.
Skin-tight snakeskin lycra jeans, maybe, but not any skirt above, well, ankle level

I gotta see the group photos when they get done!

Fraid not, the group photos, at this rate, will be appearing, only by pay to view on a specialist channel and online magazine...

Dang, and I went and gave all my loose change to the Consortium already.
