- @BlueVanMan #TotalFitness should also be giving it some hard thought – unless they're making a big loss because of the rent, why pull out? #
- Forget #totalfitness why can't I get to google from my desktop in Chrome or FF, but can from IE6, and can on my netbook on the same LAN? #

- "[The] Digital Code is transmitted at a really low rate, around 134 bits per second (the code is 23 bits long)".From the description of DCS! #

- Still sad that the season's over, though. Just the tournament and a couple of club nights remaining. May try and keep it going over summer. #
- Looking good for promotion to the first division after tonight's 13-5 over Bailrigg. Six bagger for me and a good end to the season. #iBad #
