Hi Galloglas

It has to be, I'm afraid: my isiZulu is virtually non-existant, and Bill's is no better.

Hi Paul

Ngiyasazi isiZulu kancane kodwa angasazi isiTaffy! Laughing

Even though I am further much West these days I am afraid I will still not be able to venture across the Severn to attend your talk. But I do wish yourself and Bill all the very best with it. I hope it goes well.

Regards

How did the talk go guys? Hopefully it was well attended and all went according to plan.

Did you have powerpoint presentation and did Bill dust off his uniform?

regards, and looking forward to any updates.

Hi Mark and thanks for the message.

Bill was excellent: the audience at the National Library of Wales was treated to a rare display of in-depth knowledge of the subject, which was delivered with clarity and humour. (And yes, he came in full uniform, which added to the occasion!) Apparently, they've been talking of little else down in the stacks of the library ...

Kind regards,

Paul
