We do see gin as something that your parents drink, a bit 70s. The British drinking public is fairly backward.

...I much prefer the late Sir Denis Thatcher's views on the subject quoted in the same article.

Back to work today, and spent most of the day staring at version numbers, the light relief being a last minute (compared to when I wanted to leave) bug report which I can't reproduce (on a later version of the software, so perhaps it's already fixed) and which I suspect the purported cause of is actually a red herring (but without reproducing it this is rather hard to prove either way).

Pleasant lunch with Janet and Sion.

Swimming after work, about 10% further than last week, might have been able to do more (but not much) but was quite conscious of the time.

Nice (but filling l-) dinner with LNR, Simon and Mobbsy, after which they went off to the pub quiz; by this point I was feeling the effects of the swimming rather so decided to stay home.

Read an article in NS at work suggestion that people who put the mouse on the left suffered less as a result (basically because they had to reach less far to get to it, because of the absence of the numeric keypad and so on). Might try it.
