OK, I popped into the Eagle and Child while I was in Oxford today to ask about booking the back room. The room is available to be booked, *but* as it's at lunchtime at the beginning of term, we need to have at least around 15 people who'll be eating lunch there to get the room. The food is pretty good - your standard pub grub with a reasonable selection and some vegetarian options.

So, if you're coming next weekend and want to have lunch at the Eagle and Child, then please send me an email (to mark@rigby-jones.net) to confirm it. If I get sufficient numbers, then I'll go ahead and book the room. If not, then we'll just have to turn up and intimidate the other patrons with loud discussions of Harry/Draco slash ;-)

Went to see Star Trek Nemesis this afternoon (no repeat viewing of TTT as it was still completely sold out 3.5 weeks after release). Pretty good as Trek movies go - fairly light and humorous at the start, moving on to a darker, action-packed final section. I now understand the comparisons with The Wrath of Khan, but hey - it wouldn't be Star Trek if they weren't doing their bit for the environment by recycling old plots ;-) Plus there's at least one segment which could almost have come straight from a Bond movie. Look out for wilwheaton's (sadly much reduced) cameo - while I was as much of a Wesley Crusher hater as the next reader of certain newsgroups, read Wil's blog and you find a nice guy.
