So it's gone from "I definitely won't be there next year" to "If I can't make it..."Ming wrote:Almas, I'm gonna be jealous of you at the time. If I can't make it next year, the year after I WILL make it, by gosh!! (If I can)
Do I sense a change of plan?
I do hope so!

This is a Green Knight Book which means that it is a book by one of the most popular authors of all.

Shame you can't both be there. You'd make a great double act.

Re: when is the next day?
I will be there at the next day!
Anyways, I would love to see the both of you, Nigel and Ming. Are you two coming???
PS: A bit silly question, but Nigel I don't know how to pronounce your surname. I always do it as in "row" or is it "rove"?
I am being quite stupid!

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen.

I don't think I will be there next year, but I hope I can! Overseas attendees find it difficult to attend two years running, you know. (though Prabhu made it)
"Rowe" is pronounced as "Row" - or rhymes with Jo. I pronounced it as if it rhymed with "how" until I got severely ticked of by Nigel!

Re: when is the next day?
Speaking of next year my mum and dad said something amazing. We were all watching TV (!) together.
"Hmmm.... looks like we may have a gift for you..."
"I don't want any gifts!"
"Who knows? Perhaps you will find yourself in the UK next year if you get over 90% this year - again!"
"She might want ask for something on her birthday. What? Nothing - no parties, cards, cakes, presents - but just a ticket?! "
Now I've decided to study with a vengeance! I've got to get around 92%!
