    Doris does her turn at 2.00 PM today
    Conference highlight for me so far was Doris arguing with Andrew Abrahams in the bar on Friday evening over which one of them lived on the bleakest island.
    Put me in mind of the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch.

    Having visited both islands, I'd say Doris wins hands down

    Excellent, very nice to see all that, thanks Jon. There are a lot of familiar faces there (but where's Doris?!). Is that Torquil sporting a beard now?

    That indeed is Torquil with the stylish Goatee to the right in the first photo.
    He claims to be too busy to post on the forum but I did my best to persuade him.
    I don't know how Doris managed to avoid the camera. I was sitting beside her at most of the lectures.
    Must be a shrinking violet!
    Mervyn gave Ole Hertz, Balser Fried and Kate Thompson a lift to Dublin airport so I had some multi-cultural banter on the way home.
    I could see Balser was having diffs with my not so educated Belfast accent but unfortunately it is the only one I've got - apart from the Mexican Spanish and I reckon that would have been worse.
