OK, we seem to have come to a halt here
Any chance of seeing you at the dreaded do?
Unfortunately not - I sell old photographic gear and other collectables, and Sunday is always a very busy day for me - I generally go to multiple car boot sales, and pack a lot of stuff I've sold on line in the evening.

Would love to be there... but you're holding this shindig on the opposite side of the planet from where I live.
If you can arrange for it to happen in Australia, that would work much better for me... :mrgreen: :twisted:

I’m hoping someone can bring a tablet so I can attend over Zoom or something.

Gentlemen,

there are a whole group of you on that side of our planet.

As mentioned before, I'd be perfectly happy to bung a little dosh into your collective kitty if you wanted to organise your own get-together. As well as the three of you, there is also DAJT who surfaced briefly a year or so ago (and who wrote the original Windows version) and various others...

I'd also be happy to help subsidise a round of pink gins somewhere in Australia - and also in Europe (Germany).

The last time I drove from Sydney to Brisbane the road sign said 999 km.

(And that would be the easy bit. :mrgreen: )

I thought you were pretty much all in Sydney, with just one or two outliers.

Nah, Dizzy is a Queenslander.
IIRC, that sign wasn't near any particularly specific location. I think they just put it were it was so people could pass it and say, "Less than a thousand kays to go now, dear."
