It is very like 'free' internet providers charging £1 a minute for help
- the extras are where the profit is made.
I have signed up for 0800 net as a backup ISP - but I need basic config
info from them (like my IP address) to configure for Linux. Their free
email support simply does not reply. I ring them, and they say I have to
ring a £1 a minute line! I will see them in the small claims court if
they charge my sign-on fee.

... and you haven't mentioned the meals and bar. That is one advantage
of Ryanair - you will lose weight (8-)#
I remember the Stena boat on the trip to your show, Darren , with Stuart
getting drunk and bicycles. It was only when we got on the ferry that
we recognised it as a very familiar boat from the Harwich - Hook of
Holland run. Stuart and I had been on it dozens of times overnight on
Eindhoven etc trips. It was ideal, but all ruined when they moved to
fast cats, with first sailing at about 10am, and nothing overnight.

have now dried to a trickle.

I missed the hard sell last year from Julia (Roy's now 7yr old) - she
did a grand marketing job then. She was too busy 'frightening' everyone
with ghosts this year.
Yes - the food was very very good again. Saskia (with help from the
Quanta Treasurer's team) seemed to really enjoy it.
