  1. Montpellier is ver' nahss, thanks for asking.

    I can honestly say I haven't worked on a project this interesting, with
    such an excellent team, for *years*. Life is officially OK ATM.

    There's one of these: http://www.voxan.com/voxan/ parks outside the
    office of a morning. Looks interesting, I must arrange a chat with the
    owner at some stage,

    Looks like a Daytona 955i and a Firestorm had a nasty collision
    resulting in this.

    It does a little, doesn't it? The office one is a:

    in silver. Nice looking from most angles. There's something going on
    around the headlight mounting that I'm not convinced about, but
    generally nice looking.

    Build quality looks good too.

    If you meet a certain Antony Peregrine (from Preston) please give
    him our best regards.

    He's a bright lad and we miss him.

    Heh.

    I'm the only one in our little group with *any* French at all, so I'm
    getting plenty of practice in sandwich shops and restaurants.

    One guy's a strict veggie, and he's really struggling to find food at
    the moment. The French don't seem to really understand the concept.

    There's loads of veggie stuff in France, but the French will have no
    idea what the hell you're asking. He has a choice: live with eating very
    similar stuff most of the time, or making his mates wonder round looking
    for places for him to eat. Personally, I find it easier to just eat the
    same thing all the time as the other option always pisses people off
    sooner or later

    Usually sooner...

    When I rode over to Blighty for the 2004 EOSM there was a massive
    group of them going over for a rally from the Ace café - seems they do
    it each year, so if you're really interested that might be a good
    place to start.

    OTOH They're shit, so don't bother ;-)

    One of their most endearing traits. Just tell the veggies to grow up.
