| | | Well, I asked if anyone was doing anything a week or so ago, and got no replies, so I was thinking that it wasn't going to happen. From my point of view, 'I will if you will' :-) Let's say: * A footprint of 32x32 or smaller. * The top & bottom to be (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

| | | | | This is a v. good point, which I'm happy to go along with. I quite like the idea of a Towerfest, on a nice warm summer day, outside, small boys playing in the park, jumpers for goalposts... ;-) On Wed, 1 Mar 2000, Phil Traviss (...) (25 years ago, 1-Mar-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
