Probably best that I be there, I suppose. I know very little about the project (beyond "oh, it is gonna be BIG") so this meeting would probably benefit me.

Cheers,
Marzipan.

It's larger than 0. But not indefinitely big.

Look, I'm trying to work with you here, but I can't even use those numbers to take an average as an estimate ...

(0 + infinity)/2 = ?

Thanks, Elly. It is going to be a squeeze but we (go team!) should be able to manage it.

Cheers,
Marzipan.

Thanks Marzipan, should it be Team Schnauzer?

[NB That isn't as random as it sounds - Elly has a Schnauzer who is virtually an adopted child to her, and we often discuss Schnauzer antics since one of my dogs-in-law (i.e. Daniel's family's dogs) is half Schnauzer.]

Yes, and our mascot can be an awesome robot Schnauzer from the future. (Apparently his name is Malcolm.)

I think Malcolm the Robot Schnauzer from the Future might prefer to go for the eye-laser 'total annihilation' option, but I see your point.

Yes, they look great. I've given Art a couple of small tweaks (not literally)
