Ok, now I feel a bit foolish because I kept meaning to come say hello but between you being busy, me being busy, and then me thinking you weren't who I thought you were because there wasn't anything Quantel...

That is an article about the exact hotel you stayed in. It used to be an Ibis, then a Campanile, before being rebadged as a Travelodge.

Just watching your video properly on a big screen and I'm sorry about your first choice of hotel. I would have warned anyone away from choosing that hotel if I had known.

Give me a heads up and I'll make sure you get the full BTS tour.

I don't think I ever got to talk to you, but then I spoke to so many people while on the museum stand, it's all a blur! Good to see Ian's tour of the Tektronix and Pete's Retro Games HQ store in town. You didn't make it as far as our museum on Saturday though. It was open and right near your hotel.

Never heard of that film before and sadly it doesn't seem available to stream anywhere. Would it best my favourite 'hacker' movie, Sneakers?

£5.99?! and that's before you're tempted with in-egg purchases for more content!

Doesn't Jarre normally have more lasers?

I watched it fully for the first time last year, after meaning to for a long time, and enjoyed it. It's a student film with an interesting development history, containing ideas that Dan O'Bannon would later go on to develop into Alien.
