From mth at netcraft.com Tue Jan 4 11:16:39 2000 From: mth at netcraft.com (Magnus Huckvale) Date: Wed Aug 4 23:57:35 2004 Subject: Meeting, 5 January 2000 Message-ID: Get down to the Hobgoblin for 6pm for the first Bath Perl Mongers of the Millennium. Hot topics for the evening include; 1) Whatever happened to... the Millennium Bug?? We shall be discussing the complete non-event that wasn't the end of the world... or perhaps the media has spoken too soon and counted their millennium chicks before they've hatched. 2) Maybe a mystery guest (if he's not too stoned) 3) Whatever happened to... Leon Brocard?? When (and if) the Perlmeister will be returning. Flat Eric recently posted some interesting conspiracy theories on alt.conspiracy.brocard.abduction and will be presenting some interesting evidence. Be there or be Tracy and Beans...
