Being back in England for the first time in years gives me the opportunity to rediscover "real ale", almost with a new palate. A subtle pleasure compared with the larger-than-life micros we have become used to. This is Timothy Taylor's Landlord, which I remember had a reputation as one of the very best, and is indeed excellent.

Everyone in my session (me included, obvs) used Latex-Beamer to present, not powerpoint. My kind of conference...

I haven't been in England for I don't know how long (8-10 years perhaps), but I'm there to attend a conference. So far the biggest cognitive dislocation is "I'm in a foreign country: why are they driving on the left?"
