    Hmm. Let's see: The place is still hamster-powered. The little buggers have merged into a Borg-like collective. The Lounge has become infested with "Why <var> sucks" threads. Rama is countering with his "Post Positive™" movement. There is a regretable tendency to start pun threads at the drop of a hat. Any hat. Hats in Cleveland, for gosh's sakes. Some of the regulars have left. Some are still here. The same goes for the irregulars. The Soapbox finally exploded from the pressure of its own bile. Chris and Co. are still wiping down the walls.

          You'd better cap this off now, before everyone gets fedora'd up with the whole thing.

            That's a pity. I'll be in London a few times over the next month, perhaps you can make it up there and we can meet up.

            The only time I know for sure we're in London in the near future is actually next Thursday, when we're there for the Stack Overflow DevDays Conference[^]. We'll also be up at Bletchley Park for the ACCU Security [^] Conference on 7th November. Do you know exactly when you are likely to be in London? If it's anywhere near those two dates we can certainly try to arrange something. :)

              Sadly the walls collapsing have led some of the inmates into the lounge.

                      I'll be in London: * 31st October/1st November (nr. Picadilly Circus) * 13th/14th November (nr. Picadilly Circus) * 22nd November (LHR. Actually, I'll be in Wales as I'm speaking at the SQL Bits conference on Saturday, but I'm flying in/out of LHR and my flight back on Sunday isn't until late so I've got the whole day)

                              Maybe they've not changed by that much. This thread has taken a sharp turn and is now heading off on a journey of its own.

                                      Assuming you're not going off half-cocked, I think this thread has peaked.

                                        Maybe they've not changed by that much. This thread has taken a sharp turn and is now heading off on a journey of its own.
