<!--quoteo(post=62859:date=Wed 28th Nov 2007, 08:33 PM:name=TeDeum)-->QUOTE(TeDeum @ Wed 28th Nov 2007, 08:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Met with Jamie today and he is a bit distracted sorting stuff that has followed on from his recent problems. He is away again at the end of this week and after that he is off for a holiday until almost Christmas. It is unlikely that anything on the accommodation front will be sorted until the New Year. Jamie is a good mate who I have known for over 20 years and I am not going to push him while he is down.
My feeling is that there is no rush with this since the RTT will still be 7 months away even in January then so there will be plenty of time for me to sort an alternative solution if needed. Hope this meets with general agreement.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
