The other thing I do (but very rarely mention) has been going really well. I am exhausted, but really sad that this is the last one I will (probably) do here.

A tombola run by MaliA is a VERY SPECIAL THING because MaliA excels in getting strangers to parting with money and making them enjoy not winning.and tomorrow is Last MaliA Tombola Day so I am upping to volume, the banter and THE PRIZES. Gonna be beautiful.

Done. Over 3k people through the doors, great stuff going on and now listen carefully:

Get a bucket of water and add washing up liquid to it. Get a 500ml plastic bottle and cut the bottom off. Get a J cloth and elastic band it over where the bottom.of the bottle was. Dip that end in the liquid. Blow through the bottle.

BUBBLE SNAKES!!!!!

Nice, I will try this in the garden tonight.

Prom tickets got!

Prom 9 - Beethoven's 9th with Britten's 'Sinfonia da Requiem'
Prom 51: Richard Strauss's 'Four Last Songs' with Wagner's prelude from 'Parsifal'

I've long been a fan of the Strauss but have never heard them live, so very excited. I've also long passed the 'bloody hell when does Ode to Joy start' stage and can enjoy the whole of the Beethoven. Been ages since I attended a performance of it.

I got 41 seconds in before turning it off. The comedy timing was terrible. Straight to Netflix.

But on a serious note, that will come with more studying.

The grant was approved through the university of Wolverhampton but the money has come from Europe so in answer to your question... The taxpayer I guess?

Well done Doc (you've done this stuff before so your second in my post).

Thanks! It was my first time speaking at I/O though. I did some presenting for Google last year in Japan and Korea but it was re-presenting other people's decks and other people's products. This one I co-wrote and it's about what I work on.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue May 15, 2018 11:48

Ok. I'll change the ordering then.

Did you say on FB that he'd only been running for a few months, too? Ludicrously good time even without that knowledge!
