I'm certainly up for our Tron night - but it would appear that after 7 (or is it 8) years it may be it has fallen victim to apathy - or perhaps just busy lives. So, where are you usual suspects? Crawl out from the wreck of your yuletide excess, tell yourself you can still hack it for just another night with the "boys" and let's get a date set. If we can't make the usual slot, let's go for a Saturday towards the end of January when the SAD will really be kicking in. (Friday only really works if there is no work that day). I for one would be sad to see this "tradition" end and always look forward to the convivial company and interesting tales that are shared. Since the attendees are drawn from a much wider area than Glasgow, I suggest that the furthest travelled (John, Alan, Ray...) kick off with some dates and we go from there. To any "lurkers" who've never come along - why not join in? Moving more on topic... I've had to wait till yesterday for the new DVD since its release was so close to Christmas and I would have been in trouble for depriving my wife of a potential present buying opportunity. Haven't managed to give it much attention but it's been on in the background - - and the track that really made me stop and take notice? Psalm. By the end I was struck by how I have neglected Stranded. Transported back to summer 73/74 when I would throw open my bedroom windows (blast out the whole neighbourhood) and - if timed correctly - watch the sun disappear below the hills to the west to the accompaniment of Sunset. It left me feeling quite nostalgic ...and old. So. Time my daughters were reminded that this family is not a democracy. Tomorrow Amy Winehouse, Mika and David Bowie get the boot from the car and in their place? FYP, Stranded and Country Life. Hell, I can hear the moaning already and that's before I start singing along. Season's greetings to all and hopefully will see some of you soon at the Tron. Regards.

I've been away for a few days and am only picking up my e-mails now. I had assumed it was going ahead but saw that John O'B may not make it so that may well mean that people want to rearrange. I can be contacted off-list if that's better.
