Wiki updated to this point but I have not bothered to add Kefci2000's post as it will take too much of my time to reformat it in the bulk update.
OWBA - I hope LiamRugby do remember to check FT in time for you.

It seems one can be 'snowed in' in Vegas! BA flight full, AA can't get me eastward or southward until Monday. Shame...
So I won't be any of the places I said I would for the next two days. I hope the pool bar is well stocked!

Loving guesting
I just wanted to say that I'm loving guesting people in. It's really nice, when the person being guested wants to and has time to share a glass of something and a chat.
I've had a few great experiences over the last few months that help break up the monotony of checking email and checking the boards waiting for the flight to be called.
This is all spurred on by a great time chatting with FlyingScotsman yesterday in T5 GF, but equally I've had several great meet ups recently.
There is, of course, no pressure on the people to stay and chat, but it's great when it does happen.
