[16:55] it's 2 hours from calais, about 200km [16:55] but it's cheaper to fly fro ireland [16:56] or some number of miles (as you're probably on archaic units now) [16:58] czajkowski: tis hard to drive from ireland [16:58] a bridge or tunnel from wales to wexford would be awesome, [16:58] not impossible though [17:02] shame the boom died, otherwise we would have had that for 2020 [17:04] yep, if only we could have borrowed germanys money and sold houses back and forward to each other for another 10 years [17:04] damn :) [17:04] emboss: fancy seeing you here :) [17:04] I pop up in the most unexpected of places :-) [17:05] this you do [17:15] so UPC offering 100mb BB [17:15] sweet.
