Sadly I can't make it on Thurs, but I note that Cumberland bar does take table reservations. Perhaps someone should give them a tinkle. Also I was chatting with one of the bar staff there the other day - it is apparently a free-house, bought back from the brewery by the current owners some time back. Just fyi. And the "buy 4 get 1 free" offer is the pubs, and they claim, generally always available. I'm not biased, but they do have my name on the bar, so you know ... ;) From robrwo at gmail.com Mon Aug 31 05:21:05 2009 From: robrwo at gmail.com (Robert Rothenberg) Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:21:05 +0100 Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] Bioinformatics Perl courses?
