Foul. Martin, you may use the comments for anything you wish - I'll also pass on your message to Mel. I hope you don't get too many total strangers phoning your number! I wish I could come to the gathering, but alas, on 21 December, I will be living it up in Maputo, eating fresh crab, and tanning my bod. Have a glass of mulled wine for me, and also a lovely Christmas. XX Ugh – I still can’t believe tobacco companies hand out cigarettes like sweets at external meetings. Foul.

Horse rapist??? The mind boggles. Also hope you're enjoying Heart of Darkness. I think Conrad is very good - and very appropriate during an adventure. Have you read Lord Jim? But, actually, part of the reason for this email is to send a message to Mel, who obviously from the above comment is the Mel who is an ex-colleague of both of us. Several of us are meeting for a drink after work on Thurs 21 Dec. Nathalie, Stephen, Tom and me + possibly 1 or 2 others. It would be great if you could join us. Not sure of the venue, but somewhere around Old St. Obviously you are invited too, Rach! If you can make it my no. is 07817 535559. Martin Sorry for using this as a message board. Is that completely inappropriate? If so, put it down to my age. Hi Rach
