Shall be there too...<br><br>Dan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 10:20 AM, Murray <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:perl@minty.org">perl@minty.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
My sources [1] tell me that on 27th Jan 1926, "John Baird, a Scottish inventor,<br>
demonstrated a pictorial transmission machine called television".<br>
<br>
This would seem like an auspicious reason, where one needed, to celebrate and<br>
consume beverage. As it happens, 27th Jan (next thursday) is also the 4th<br>
thursday of the month, meaning <a href="http://edinburgh.pm" target="_blank">edinburgh.pm</a>.<br>
<br>
I've been rather lax in my attendance of late, but nothing a new years<br>
resolution can't fix. More <a href="http://edinburgh.pm" target="_blank">edinburgh.pm</a> beer!<br>
<br>
So does anyone else want to just switch off your television set and go out and<br>
do something less boring instead? [2]<br>
