And £10 well invested I would say! Better than putting your money in a bank!
I am hoping to become Tad's agent for his after-dinner-speaker tour! Just 15% plus expenses Tad!
does that mean your coming along then?
God luck Tad, hope it goes well.
I'm diving on the 11th so can't make it, sorry.
Jim
thanks Jim sort of wish I was now didnt realiser how hard it was going to be writing a presentation that will last for around an hour without sounding a prat. Going to show some video so that should take up some time. By the way I saw you in the Narvik video what a cracking video that is lucky git.
An hour not sounding like a prat - good luck , I've never managed more than a few minutes!
Tad reports this will be a 40 slide epic. That's a LOT of slides! Good luck with the presentation Tad! Make sure that you are not the first speaker after lunch!
