		<description><![CDATA[I was pretty skeptical of the idea of diving in February, but someone from the Liverpool club copied the idea from the Manchester club and arranged to hire a chalet and leave the club boat in Oban for five weekends in a row.  
And experiencied five weekends of surprisingly good weather.

It builds on the &#8220;2004 Spending Review on the efficiency programme&#8221; that made the somewhat dubious claim to have saved £26.5billion in IT and other savings, and contains a mish-mash [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought I was doing well with the pencil overthickness routine, until I got this Christmas present from Cimco.

Team HSM on the rainy walk from Ibis to the Euromold hall
It&#8217;s not the same without Peter.  And it&#8217;s no fun being stuck in a soulless Ibis hotel on the highway out of Frankfurt.  I got deeply, deeply depressed on the second day of Euromold.  There were a number of reasons.  [...]]]></description>
