Martin Ritchie and I are sitting in Combibos leaching wifi, we're
likely to be here for a bit then heading foodwards. We're pretty
obvious currently, he's got a macbook open and I've got a thinkpad.

I'm still at home in west Oxon, but a 20-min bus ride away. Will print
off some notes for tomorrow, maybe pack a bag to kip on Nick's floor,
and then head in. I've only got a crap phone so direct message me at
@jpstacey if anything changes.

Combibos is the one on Gloc Green, right? Just round the other side of
the row of shops at the coach station. If so then it's only 10-15
minutes from there to Jamal's, so it might be worth non-Jerichonians
meeting there if they're otherwise going to be at a loose end.

Cheers,
J-P

Cool. We're unlikely to move, at most the pub round the corner with
the tables outside, but not for a while. Somebody[1] was profligate
with his battery. ;)

I'll be there in about an hour to an hour and a half so will start
searching from Combibos, the pub round the corner and worst case at
Jamal's for dinner.

If you see a tall redhead looking lost - it's probably me.

Cheers,

Adrian.

anybody else wants it just ask. :)

I'll be in one of the tourist trap (but decent) pubs (The Turf Tavern
- OX1 3SU) as soon as my second guest arrives, then moving on to the
curry house.

My mobile is zero seven nine 83101663 (yes, it's a number I only use
for short periods when I have an event on so don't try spamming me on
it)

We'll decamp to there if we move (the staff here are making tidying up
motions but may just be taking advantage of a quiet period).

I'm heading off from the club now and hopefully won't get lost.
Will go straight to Jamals now.
