And all things going well I should be in town as I plan on visiting the Postgradireland Fair 2008 in the RDS earlier on. WOHOO!

CM, I'll be driving down to Kilkenny I *think* if you want a lift, Declan Ganley will be speaking at that one.

Hmm... I could always go to both. I'm shockingly behind on my europe nerding and given the importance of the damn thing this won't do.
Thanks for the offer, I'll see how I'm fixed.
