Re: COGST - starting mid-September

Ok, well at the moment I can do that time... so, please can someone volunteer to host me vs. David in the COGST semi-finals, 6pm on Monday on MSN? Thanks After Tuesday, when are you away until, David? Martin : what happens here if a) it turns out I can't do Monday, or b) David and I do play on Monda...
