Oh James

Neal, James and I are feeling pretty flat after our return from Oslo (and my trip to Germany), but James is hit hardest: he's flitted off to Basel/Basle (Switzerland), a wonderful town I visited for a fencing competition several years ago.

Did you watch Coast last night Vole? They did Norway, pretty interesting, I particularly liked the bit about generating electricity from osmosis, check it out.

So I won't even try to
