Re: Calling All Brits & Euros!!!
I did not consider the earlier correspondence confidential, and see no reason for it to be so, but given Derek’s reply, ought to treat it as such. Sorry Ben.

Re: Food and Port
Does “as we approach† mean a few weeks ahead (or, better still, Wednesday 17th September 2008), or does it mean a few seconds before we arrive. The former is OK with me.

Re: Hung over and alcohol
My guideline is to drink alcohol at about 4%. So if drinking a bottle of 20% port, something like four bottles ┰ˆ five pints of water, throughout the evening, greatly improves the following day. If drinking 5% beer, a pint or two of water before bed fixes the balance.

It seems that the buttons re-load every time you view a page which suggests they are not being copied to the local cache. Buttons are tiny — I made them that way.
