    Slackers ... here we are typing our fingers to the bone while they're lolling about eating chocolates under the duvet. ;)

    Seriously, you guys did a sterling job and deserve a break. It was a pleasure to meet you all in person.

    Thanks, Sophy. So you mean @mandyjwatson wasn't on the staff??? That's amateur dedication in the best sense of the word.

    Mandy Watson is a shit-hot journo, designer, gadget expert, all kinds of amazing genius stuff - check out her website: http://www.brainwavez.org/watman/index.html

    She's also one of the coolest people on the planet.
    Okay, Louis, I know - I must get back to work. Farewell, interwebs...till tomorrow anyway.
