Looks interesting.

I wager the Kullak has not been played in 100 years.

Good luck old chap.

You know, I haven't been to the Ed Fest in years, and you're making me regret that I only the other day bought plane tickets which will ensure I'm 2000 miles away when that takes place! best of luck with it, I hope it gets a good audience.

I hope this is recorded.

I am wetting my knickers in anticipation of the Kullak.

Thanks, both of you, for the good luck messages. Yes, I intend to record the whole thing, and I'm really rather taken with the Kullak.

That's a neat programme.  Really can't wait to hear it.  I'm getting ideas in my head...
