It is from Greece as well... and there are always good prices through EasyJet. 
Maybe I can get the sleeper Greek QLers to attend.. .(several of them DO read this 
list as I found out recently). We may not be a lot, but we will make noise for a lot 
of 
people :-)  I may even convince Darren to finally come over to Greece for a little 
while (fell through last year :-( A pity cause I really struggled to make my Irish 
Hellos to sound convincing ;-)

Hmmm I got to take you to a couple of places in Greece for Pizza as well... my 
favourite is in Athens and has a pizza with the fitting name "4x4" (It is a real 
MOUNTAIN to eat...) Rough terrain even for me

A useless piece of trivia here... the very first pub (like in English style REAL pub) 
in 
Greece was practically under my house and its name was... guess what... "Red Lion 
" :-)

These Italians are crazy and they're worse than Greeks I tell you (I know I am 
married to one, my cousin was married to one -With the same name and from the 
same place by a strange twist of fate- And my uncle studied there... I can't escape 
them :-) ) ... You lift a rock, chances are you'll find an Italian or Irish (They 
outnumber them 2:1 I am s ure) (Well on the 2nd rock however you will find a Greek 
probably selling that damn rock too ;-)

(Now of course that was a joke.. .well sort of ;-) hee-hee)

That sounds like a _very_ good reason for having it.  They have all been
at Reggio Emilia (bar one).
How about we work on Davide.  I know he would like to have one, but, as
I say, he was very put off by the attendance last time, and very
apologetic to us.  It is easy and pretty cheap to fly to Milan for us
British.

No not them.  Standard open ones, but with a vast amount on top, and
very very large.
I have been to the 'Red Lion' (what a bad name - sounds like a British
pub) twice with Stuart on bicycles, and once with Roy by car.

On one of the cycle rides we asked a a local Italian for directions, and
he turned out to have been chauffeur to Lord Carrington for years in

hmm June you said? Now that's interesting as you know I am always in

I know Davide was pretty depressed last time at the turnout, especially
as quite a few of the well known punter faces were not there.

It was a helluva lot better turnout though than the Irish boozeup (8-)#
Sorry  Darren, but we all enjoyed the Irish show as you know - far from
a waste of time.

All shows I go to are worthwhile in some way, especially the Italian
one. We had a very nice couple of days, and renewed old friendships and
pizzas.

Davide - if you are 'listening', don't be put off by last time.
If you organise another one say next June, I would certainly come if I
can.  I need another 'Red Lion' pizza (8-)#  (That town halfway between
Reggio and Parma, that Sturat and I found by accident by bicycle.
I will not forget my starter.  Stuart had a very nice roasted veg plate.

 but truly giant and well  covered pizzas later.

Some very good QL developments can start by idle chat at shows.
RomDisq for a start - that was started in Eindhoven by me mentioning the
Z88 flash memory card  in the earshot of Stuart.  We put together a plan
on the way home.
It was at an Austrian show that I discovered Jonathan Dent was a TCP/IP
specialist.
superHermes seeds were sown by Lau and I  at a show.
