    80,000 people in here and Aus went 1-0 up just before half time. It is absolutely rocking in here!

    I hope they have a Pie Stall, for half time, otherwise it's a wasted day :P

    The Receptacle:

    Actually, PN, I don't know if you would be interested, but the All-in-One PC on top is redundant here? It's a TV as well.

    We haven't used it very much at all. It has gotten slow, I think after DS installed Wizard 101 on it. You would probably know how to speed it up again. I'm not sure how to get it all the way, but we could get it to LIR and then perhaps you could co-ordinate its onward journey?

    Might be worth looking at? It's going in a skip, otherwise. :o
    Dont bin it, it would wprk as a tv for ds room, we could make a donation to charity in return?
    I think....

    On a totally unrelated topic, has anyone ever been on a murder mystery weekend/evening? Any recommendations?
    It's 25 years since a group of us met at ante-natal classes for our first children. Still friends and still all together. We're planning to celebrate our silver anniversary!

    Okay :)

    It's a bit strange in that you have to boot it like the PC it is first to access the TV. I'm not entirely sure where the remote is either, but it's a touch screen too.

    Transportation gymnastics = I can definitely get it to London.
    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

    We had one as part of work Christmas party. It was a surprise, so we were all a bit miffed initially at the weirdos in bad wigs pretending to be pop stars.

    The mystery bit went totally over my head as well; didn't have the foggiest what we were supposed to be doing, but the booze was free.

    It's about the people, not the event ;)

    London or inner herts work. Would a contribution to Daisy be appropriate?

    Actually we are also thinking of getting a steel to replace the remaining sections of the back wall, would doozer boy want to quote?

    Whenever I see these big, open, glass walls, I immediately think "security risk", "disproportionate cost to real benefit", "heat loss/heating costs" - and, most importantly "if I go into that room in the dark and flick the lights on, I have to ensure I'm dressed as you never know who is out there in the dark ... and/or, a loon hiding in the bushes can now see me and know I'm in here alone". Not to mention the extortionate cost of window dressings.

    Too late PN, we already have the 5 section bi-fold doors (with blinds) on the extension. However the now internal old rear wall is mostly down but a pillar remains which would be nice to have gone (to create more of a wow factor:o) but there are various issues with another existing steel and probably needing to 'underpin' the foundations where the steel will be supported.
    I think....

    I don't know what an all in one PC is. It's a great offer, but it's the kind of kind offer that might turn into a problem beast if I said "yes", if you see what I mean. Beyond the transportation gymnastics, it'd probably require decluttering, reformatting, reinstalling or something else :)

    So, in an effort to save days/weeks of stress etc, I'll decline.

    Those drawers are marvellous though! You shouldn't ever get rid of those.

    Transportation wouldn't be an issue. Doozer will bring it here, I'll bring it to you.
