Apologies...

Unfortunately we couldn't make it to the pub tonight due to a death in the family. lykeios's Real Best-friend-in-the-world-ever, Dante, suffered an allergic reaction to a Windows update (not the nasty XP service pack but an allegedly non-toxic Win2k update), turned blue, and stopped opperating. Luckily he was revived thanks to much swearing and an emergency re-install-optomy, and is now in a critical but stable condition. Obviously lykeios has been greatly shaken by these near-tragic events, and any messages of sympathy (or chocolate) would be hugely appreciated.
