Hehe, I wasn't a kid anymore. I was in my twenties, and had been working in Northern Ireland for three months, so the choice wasn't completely random.
When I was a kid, they gave me a Japanese textbook and tapes. 😛 But that was because that's what I had asked for.

You played knockout chess at the last meet, I can do a Swiss if anyone is interested in actually playing chess ....
**TUMBLEWEED**
Remember we have limited time to play, and only one clock (that we know of). People will be turning up periodically, so setting up a swiss tourney would be very difficult.
What time are you coming down ? we're meeting trev at the train station 12.15, are you coming from the same direction ?

I have a clock !!yay!!
You are quite right though without the clocks a swiss would be impossible. I think playing it by ear is the right plan. I mean this is a meet and greet of people I have been slagging for over two years and I am treating it like an ICU rating opportunity: how bloody anal am I??????
