I know from harsh experience that day-to-day, nuts and bolts stuff should really be send via e-mail, or else The Big Z will smite you.

Oh, I just remembered something I wanted to ask about. Is "perspex" just a British term for plastic, or are the two somewhat overlapping but not quite congruent concepts?

It's a tradename for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plastic, also known as acrylic or Plexiglass.

I tried to make Christmas presents out of it one year and failed miserably. I've still got the chunk I pried out of the bottom of the beaker three weeks after the solvent had evaporated. There's a notch in it where the magnetic stir bar was. I've got another irregular chunk with bits of wax paper in it where I couldn't pry them out of the folds. FYI, wax paper makes a terrible mould.

Aw man, you had to get that stupid "The More You Know" ringtone stuck in my head, didn't you?

Plexiglass, okay.
