Hey Jan,Robur was like Captain Nemo, except that he had a giant airship instead of a submarine. I remember there being another story, possibly a sequel (pronounced sequel) called Master of the World.
Vaguely rings a bell, Dot. Next time I go to the Library (yeah, the thing with the physically paper-based and bound literature) I will have a look if I can find it. Sure the kids would enjoy these kind of books too.

Now why did I have to think more than thrice how sequel is pronounced? Good one!

On the way home there was a silver Audi A4 2.T driving in front of me whose owner's ego may well be slightly overinflated. Personalised license plate reads SQLGURU-WP :unsure:. Wonder who HE is?
Wonder if it's my colleague. He lives down your way (Hout Bay) and he most certainly could justify said licence plate. I have no idea what he drives though.
Don't suppose you got a look at the driver?

Just like Gail and her neighbours will most likely have a GP (Gauteng Province) at the end of theirs.

No, I didn't, it was dark already and I was behind him.

Talking of number plates, a guy who used to work at my place had SQLDBA as his plate.
I quite fancy this one or this one
Anyone got any clever ideas for a plate?
We can have any six (or fewer) numbers or letters...

I'll ask him next time I see him, if I remember. Will be seeing him next weekend, for TechEd.
You are coming to TechEd Jan?

Hi ho hi ho , if off to Disney i go , see you all in 4 weeks.Enjoyed my short time here, more rewarding than usenet anyway
Hey, if you are the Disney in Florida, I'm only about 45 minutes away. It's hot and wear sunscreen.
Blimey you're not kidding, i love a holiday though ... Bribing the kids to put lotion on is a particularly enjoyable game 🙂
