I'll try to make it, but not sure... Feb 26, 2009

Hi there,
Cool, that's a good idea. I'd like to go, but I'm going to Barcelona on Thursday and Wednesday is likely to be a crazy day. Well, most of next week is supposed to be quite busy. Anyway, let me know when you decide on a time on Wed and I'll take it into account.
Cheers,
Ramon

The one in Gullane is shut on Mondays; the one in Edinburgh both Mon&Tue, it seems. It's a true story...

Ramón, you're going to Barcelona AGAIN?icon_wink.gif Hope you and Emma can make it though!
Let's say Wednesday at 2.30pm at Falko's? Hope to see you all there!

PS: Sorry for all the spamming...my email account is overflowing as well.

Another story... Feb 27, 2009

...told by someone else. There's a series of guest lectures at Edinburgh University, and the next one is on Wednesday:

Tim Martin, European Commission
Translation Quality: Upstream, Instream and Downstream Considerations
Wed., 04 Mar. 2009, 3.15-5.15pm, University of Edinburgh

So, do we spoil our tummies or our brains?

Hi Marion Feb 27, 2009

I´m just replying to your note that I have in my e-mail inbox, but for some strange reason can´t see here on the powwow page.
I´m in for the lecture you proposed going to next Wednesday. Maybe we can spoil our tummies afterwardsicon_wink.gif

Lecture Feb 27, 2009

The note is on the "View report" page and not on the "View sign up" page, that's why - took me a while to find it, too.
I don't have time afterwards because I've got volleyball training, but maybe before?
