.... I was working for the Northants Evening Telegraph, and I'd rescued a dog from a river. I'm not sure if this is progress! Read more on "The Last time I was in a local paper...."!
Post-Roadshow Report Card - Edinburgh Stevenson

Me in front of the crowd at Edinburgh.
Oh alright, I'll stay awake despite the gentle rocking of the train, and the fact I've been working for a very long time now without a day off. Heading south from Edinburgh as I write this, so at least it's all fairly fresh in my mind.
- Student Turnout - 8/10. Lots of folk, particularly for Dave, Dennis and Duncan's afternoon off-camera flash demo.
- Number of Questions asked - 10/10. Pretty much all of this score is accounted for by Arek, who turned up with a bloody great shopping list!
- Quality of Tea and Cakes - 9/10. Lunch wheeled out to us in the lecture theatre. Mmmm, lazy.
- Ability of Tom's laptop to handle something simple like a USB key drive - 0/10. Time for a new one methinks. Mind you, this one's 4 years old and has been dropped more times than I care to remember, so no real cause for complaint.
- Number of people who used their own initiative on the assignment and thereby knocked our collective socks off - 10/10. You know who you are!
Post-Roadshow Report Card - Aberdeen College

Aberdeen College - they're all paying attention to David, not me.
Up to the far north and Aberdeen yesterday, which was a new experience for me, despite having distant family up there. Some very good attempts at the assignment, including a couple of people who had actually read the blog beforehand! I was stunned I can tell you.
- Student Turnout - 8/10. Pretty good numbers, although maybe helped by the fact it was raining and we were indoors in the warm.
- Number of questions asked - 6/10. A few good questions, proof that I didn't cover everything in the talk.
- Quality of tea and cakes - 8/10. Actually, make that scones, although I've still got one of the vouchers I was given for the staff canteen.
- Inconvenience caused by having to change venues several times and making up the goodie bags out in the corridor - 8/10. That were a bit annoying, I don't mind admitting.
- Ability to handle the assignment - 7/10. Pretty good, with only a few people who got the wrong end of the stick or messed up the paperwork.
- Number of local papers that turned up - 10/10. Blimey. I'm famous. And I'm not a fan of being in front of the camera, but I already knew that!
