I think the photos are still worth perpetrating though.. They've been cropped and fiddled with where necessary -- if anyone really wants the PhotoCD originals, give me a shout. -- Mike Knell mpk@lspace.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 28-manchester.jpg: Mark L couldn't wait to start writing the report. The light bulb which was growing out of his head has been edited out, hence the rather wobbly bit of wallpaper... (and isn't producing a Psion in the pub supposed to be social suicide?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 29-manchester.jpg: And Angela tries to hide her face in shame as Darrell does the same thing a little later on, spoiling their candlelit dinner... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 32-manchester.jpg: The DiscCon committee declined to comment the next morning when questioned concerning allegations of insider dealing.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 33-manchester.jpg: However, a spokesperson then emerged to read a prepared statement, refuting the charges absolutely. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 34-manchester.jpg: On the way back, Rob and Darrell discover a useful place for starting to recoup all the money spent on beer and souvlaki the night before. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Lee Staniforth for correcting a number of erroneous descriptions in this file. It's the Guinness that does it, you know.. (Post-script: Oh, by the way, why did I get a one-word mail message from Mark L, saying merely 'GIT!', when this batch of photos appeared?) --mpk
