Back at the hotel now. Breaking news: neither my feet nor my back are particularly happy about standing continuously for four hours. Vertical drinking is for the youthful
But it was good to meet a bunch of old faces and some new.
One bloke's wife had tagged along. She's doing a PhD in forensic linguistics. Her specific area of research is into methods of analysing online chat transcripts to determine when grooming of young people by potential abusers is occurring; she's currently focussing particularly on games like Call of Duty.
It's one of those things that sounds a bit Big Brotherish, but you can't really object to the intended applications, even as it leaves you wondering what further applications might emerge in the hands of the wrong kind of government

Murrain of beasts all day today here - not pleasant. However it did dry up for me to take an evening trip to Loughborough and for Mrs Covbob and CovBaby to go and see the Diwali lights in Leicester.Comment

This evening's visit to ZeitMater proved futile inasmuch as she slept all the way through it.
The only entertainment was another elderly lady managing to empty the bag on the end of her catheter.
All over the floor.
It must be said that the urine in the bag was a good deal more dilute today than it was on Wednesday.
