I finally got my PADI credentials sorted out with them (it's taken a couple of weeks), and I booked a refresher course for next weekend. I'm actually quite excited about it :)

We're revisiting the people at Data Analytics Marketing Normalisations this weekend; there are two or three previous visits there but I couldn't find any of them quickly I'm afraid. They played crickets using the interns as wickets though...

Crowd control
Margoyle, who had just recently added Corporate Miscommunications and Ethical Misconduct to her portfolio, tapped the streetplan with a manicured fingernail.
"Kettling," she said, "is the usual form of crowd control under these circumstances."
Jeronica arched an eyebrow so high that people watching wondered if she'd had to hire an architect to achieve that curve, and commented dryly, "It's a Presidential Inauguration, so we probably can't call it 'Kettling'."
"We'll call it Crowd Control," said Margoyle easily, "and tase a third of them on the way in and a third on the way out."

Greg - haha, thank you for the cricket reminder :)

And I'm glad you got your scuba diving stuff sorted out. I hope you have a good session back in the water!

This scene... sounds about right, actually.
