A couple of questions

1) Give me free stuff!
I suspect there are some people on my friends list who have accumulated huge numbers of USB sticks. Do you have any spare, as gifts or loans? For my project I want to assess and perhaps develop some stuff which can be run from a USB stick, and to make life less complicated I'd like to keep each thing on a separate stick. I am also too cheap to buy extras.
Can anyone help, or suggest a source of very cheap sticks?

2) Cambridge info
I'd like to start Tai Chi again. Can you recommend a good class?

I did Yang style Long Form for a few years, but only got 2/3 the way through. I did one of Mike Tabram's beginners Short Form class three years ago, but it was a bit too beginner for me. I went to John Constable's advanced class for a year, which was great, but I was quite far behind and found it hard to keep up. I stopped before Easter because I was too busy, and haven't got back yet... I could start again, but it's over in Green End Road which is a bit of a way from me in Mill Road way (I walk), also I feel a little bit guilty about dropping out and I'll be even more behind now.

Another problem I have with committing to a class, is that I have to fit it around my students' timetables, which change in February, and may include lectures up to 7pm, and I don't want to sign up for a term's classes and then only make the first four.

But I find Tai Chi very good for me, and I enjoy it a lot, if only I make time for it rather than balancing bank statements and making spreadsheets for conrunners!

EDIT: Wednesday is out (gaming). Thursday might be okay in early evening but I like to go to the pub ;-)
