Well, once again I guess I'm in the front line running for "arsehole of
the
year" award on ROFF.

Nah, I'm pretty sure there are a few folks ahead of you in that line, Clark!
According to Timmaaaaay and Stan, I'm one. :-)

Please, don't get on yourself. Roger and I both know that you work for a
living, and during the week we had no misconception that you were trying to
avoid us. It was clear from talking to your wife that you had a booking, and
we fully accepted that getting in some work takes precedence over a couple
of guys who happen to be in town. And, as you mentioned, the advice Sean was
giving us was fine, and we had a great time. My only regret was in not
getting a chance to tip a beer with you, as its always fun to meet folks
IRL. But we'll have another chance: I'm in the neighborhood and am
absolutely planning on coming down again, and last I heard, Roger was making
plans also. So don't sweat it: if we had known early in the week that it
wasn't going to work out, we wouldn't have given it such a build up. That
probably made you feel worse.

No worries, mate. We'll catch you next time!
