I am upset that Neil suggests that I only ever 'pretended to study 
maths'. I did study mathematics there for about a year and a half. It 
was after that that I pretended to be doing something degree related 
while really doing other stuff instead (oddly I could mention that 
this roughly coincided with my entry into the HP fandom, but in 
reality this was a result and not a cause of me doing little work).

There is some rumour going around that one of the people that made 
that Oxford visit may be returning again this summer :)


I fear that a meet up sometime soon for me is out of the question. 
Life is a little busy at the moment and I see few free days between 
now and mid April. Will however look into meeting people if (or 
probably more correctky when) we have a meet in the summer.
