John,

I understand your angst. Im trying myself to get a labslot in the new year
in Brussels when I believe I will have concluded my preparations in time for
a good first lab attempt. There seem to be no slots at all the next six
months.

Has anyone any clues on the best approach to getting a slot in Brussels end
February 2008 onwards?

PS. Hands up all of you who took labslots knowing full well you were you
were never going to be ready in time and therefore choking the system for
guys like me?

Naughty, naughty ;)
