I just happen to have a ready made paper for that, anyway sounds like my
kind of conference, apart from the pedantic fact that normalcy is not in my
dictionary I have always spoken of "normality" instaead
Would I be able to sleep in the back of my 4WD in the car park? Money really
is that tight at present, we part timers only get a 50GP allowance for
conference costs, and you can't pay hotel bills out of that can you :(
