I'm working on it. Still feeling extremely rough but today is the first day in 5 when I have woken and felt better than the previous morning (albeit marginally). I can understand why there was concern at this version of 'flu. It is nasty.

Well, I’m pleased that you’re heading upwards at least.

You’re well enough to correctly apostrophise the contraction of influenza, so you can’t be too bad. Even I, sloppily, allow the apostrophe-free version.

  • +N85.
Those attending should agree who is to print the placemats. Choose somebody likely to be punctual. That chosen person should read the following instructions.
The Manual wrote:! print the mats using a toner printer.
  • Ensure that ‟No automatic page scaling” (or equivalent) is checked in the print dialogue box. (Automatic page scaling can be very wrong, scaling to invisible and irrelevant artefacts in the PDF.)
  • On some Konica Minolta printers, and perhaps others, checking ‟Choose paper size by PDF page size” means the output is very small, a mirror image, and on paper of the wrong size. This is not good. On other printers this setting can be useful experiment as necessary.
  • If printing on a Mac from the Preview application, and perhaps also with other operating systems or applications, set the paper size to the ‟(borderless)” variant.
  • Print single-sided obviously duplex wouldn’t work.
  • Use toner not ink, as a single drop of wine or water causes ink to smudge. !
  • Print onto brilliant white paper of the correct size !

is the event still in the schedule of the crustimg pipe? Is anything reserved etc.?
Just to confirm I have booked the "boardroom" for tomorrow from 6.30pm onwards. I believe we are now 4 but I guess we shall just have to see who turns up!

I shall take responsibility for placemats. JDAW1 - if you are still able to do so, mark me down for a OBV70.
