Thought I would warn all you techers in Southern Ontario that i will be visiting your fair land for 6 weeks or so from mid January [Big Grin]

For my sins I am to be incarcerated in the IMAX training facility at Oakville to undertake service training as part of the new Service Partnership Programme.

Although Messrs Doherty and Cardinell are hard task masters and work ridiculously long hours [Mad]

apparently I will be allowed out for a few hours a day so hope to meet up with a least a few of you for indepth technical discussions [Wink]

Dick, Make sure that you hit a bakery and buy yourself some "Butter Tarts." Make sure you take some home for your relatives in England.

During your six week stay in Oakville, starting in mid January I will hoist some Maartini's in your honor. [Cool]

Thanks Bob.

I think if I told "She Who Must Be Obeyed" I was going hunting for tarts in Canada she may get the wrong idea [Roll Eyes]

As we will be in the same time zone we should be able to synchronise "Happy Hour" [beer]

I was working on trying to extend my trip to take in Showest but that may not be appreciated.
We can but dream!

That's it, I'm retreating north. Just down the highway is a little to close for comfort. [Big Grin]

Now if you happened to get on the wrong plane while leaving and ended up at ShoWest...

Daryl

Given the option I will head down Hamilton way to see the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum so keep you head down.

Well worth the visit. I was there last year with the airplane club. It was like children at the playground. [Smile]
