I'm sorry not to be able to come, if only to satisfy my curiosity as to just how rotund some of those Sphereans are. I was due to go to Budapest on July 27th for reasons connected with the "day job", which I have prudently hung on to since those meanies at the magazines refuse to send me enough winnings to keep me even in the extremely modest style to which I am accustomed. (Surely a chip buttie every three days isn't asking too much?) But now I've been smitten by a nasty infection, and Budapest is also in abeyance. Curses!
