Level 4, I haven't even seen Level 3 and Level 2 was carried out back end of May beginning of June. Oh well I guess it will all work in the end.

Haven't you got more important tasks to get on with than surfing the web, Geffen?

Or are you after a break?

The NVCR reminds me of one of those 'Armada' beacons dotted around the countryside that they light up for national celebrations. Perhaps they'll have a bonsife on top of the NVCR up when the armada is sighted off Plymouth again?

Top, that's what I thought when I first saw the drawings! I was down in Plymouth for the 400th anniversary. Our new tower ablaze........One is almost tempted to say that some of my colleagues might welcome that!

Ahhh.. reminds me of the days of the A Watch bar-b-qs on the 7th floor balcony and various associated games. Don't s'pose they allow such things nowadays?

I understand that one of the emergency exits from the NVCR is via the pull-down ladder just above the AIR DEPS/ARRIVAL desks. What a wonderful view and just the place for one of those BBQs! Perhaps you could ask for permission to hold one there?

Why do I only see a little square with a red X in it and no picture? I experience this often on the Internet.. but I have acres of memory and have checked IE settings to no avail.
