I notice that my apprenticeship is over and I am now a journeyman. I wonder if there's a collective noun for us journeying people? (perhaps a 'caravan' as in gypsies?) And I'm not sure whether the Tasmanian Sex Discrimination Commissioner (yes, we have one!) would approve the appellation.

Those of you unable to attend juanmaria's party in sunny Spain are welcome to come to wintry Hobart (there should be snow on the mountain soon) to celebrate. Anyone coming to the Sydney Olympics and staying on? The party starts when you get here. Oh, and bring a slab, won't you!

Cheers, paulb
