I'm yet again visiting Bristol UK for most of
January 2012. I guess during the week I'll have to attend the training course that
work is sending me to, but I wondered if anyone had any classic computer recommendations
for the weekend? Assuming the weather is OK, I'm happy to drive a reasonable distance
but local stuff is easier.
I did Bletchley Park last time I was in the UK (November 2010) and I've already
promised myself that I'll visit the SS Great Britain and the Newport cable bridge, but
wondered if there were other CC related things in the area. If anyone in the area wants to
catch up for a beer, I'd happily shout a pint of the local bitter.
I arrived back home today and whilst I had an 'interesting' time, things
didn't go as planned. As expected the first two weeks were very intensive, more than
even I thought - it wasn't uncommon to work 10 hour days.
The interesting bit was having my left leg grow an additional 8cm in circumference - mild
panic regarding DVT set in leading to a few (very good) interactions with the National
Health Service. It turns out I didn't have DVT but had so spend most of my holidays
resting. Much beer and food was consumed but no visit to anything computer related.
Next time?
Thanks to all for their suggestions.
