In Forn Parts

I am spatiotemporally challenged (it goes with my inability to remember names, even those of my kids. Birthdays are often a disappointment for them).

Or I'll rip your bloody arms off.

And I will too.

(Apologies to non-Australians and anyone too young to know what I'm talking about.)

Cool! (although I thought you were already overseas, but then I am spatiotemporally challenged too). I'll think of you as I lurk in a Melbourne hotel to a week, watching other people talk about science while the family cavort down the beach.
