I haven't been to the Anchor but cheeep foood goood!

Anchor food nice, but 30 quid and sitting upstairs is perhaps a once a
year thing. They didn't do any bar food at all last heretic's meeting.

Yeah, I'll go to almost anything organised by a mailing list. Even if
it involves getting up at 5.30 in the morning.

The only reason I haven't got the weekly summary out yet is because of
you being so useless. It has nothing to do with the fact that I just

I found Ruby much closer to Perl in spirit.  If Perl didn't exist, I'd
be using Ruby not Python.  If Perl hadn't existed, there would be no
Ruby.

And that's today's exploration of alternate realities.  We now return
