The file exists, but it has to be fingerprinted etc by JDM, not sure how long that takes.

There are just so many responses one could make to that. Of course I wouldn't possibly want to wind the poor wee chap up...

Whilst you're waiting for the beta why don't you organise a Belgian team for the ITC in September?

Hmm a belgian team?
Flemish or wallon?

Two Belgian teams required by the sound of things.

You could of course allow the Wallons into the French Team and the Flemings into the Dutch team... just a thought

Or have one team called the flaming wally's.

Don't know the Flemish or Walloons very much, eh? I shared an office (in the Netherlands) with a Flemish guy for seven years. He had lived in the Netherlands for 35 years and still considered it a "foreign" country.

I'll ask but will not attend ( for a long long time ) unless they do change the dates . This year I not only have my niece's marriage but as every year now for the last 16 years a birthday party to attend :my daughter .... no war at home ....and her granpa's as well ... no war with the in laws ....

But I will pass the good word and be there at Britcon

NB : we still have no governement, but do not worry, it's cultural

Regards

Jacques

Apparently the Beta may not start until next week, so don't panic.

And pigs might fly. Having lived there for a few years as a kid, the only thing they do seem to agree on is that they are Belgian, definately not Dutch nor French.

The evidence is in the thread above.

As you can tell Dave was a diplomat in a previous life!

But this could be the pot calling the kettle black!

Gunboat diplomacy for you both I assume?

Another version might be : some people expect ponctuality

Same here. Woohoo!

Don't tell my boss, but productivity has pretty much ground to a standstill this afternoon as I read the new version. The part that has caught my attention the most, so far, are the changes to the turn 180 and move rules.
