Re. Moscow: Russia is a country I'd like to visit now that I'm a
Maria Sharapova fan, but I don't expect I shall make any more
journeys outside the UK again, save one.
My eyes are on Moscow this week because of the Kremlin Cup tennis.
I was only eight and nine in 1984, and I don't think jet_visy was
even born then! ;-)

Science in July 1997. I returned as a postgraduate in September 1997,
got my MPhil in 1999, submitted my PhD thesis in September 2001, had
my PhD viva in September 2002, and finally graduated with a PhD -
after a very long and protracted process - in July 2003.
I enjoyed my time at university because I love my subject, I love to
learn, and I was motivated above all by academic achievement, so I
will always look back on them as the best years of my life.
So what are you studying?

following rooms:
"The extremely dangerous cable" [23]
"The east tower" [64]
"Barrels from the warehouse" [65]
"The souls that didn't pray" [67]
"The main cterilization center" [68]
"The devilish Maria" [72]
"In the land of the golden sands" [85]
"The wet cave" [88]
"The west point on the map" [91]
"Cool paradise" [103]
"The cleanest pond" [117]
However, Frosya does have several bugs [Rooms 19, 31, 36, 41, 47, 48,
81, 82, 88, 99, 105, 111, 114, 119]...
...also in the Lite Version [8, 13].
There are also some nasty infinite death-scenarios [9, 115]...
...some unfair rooms [66, 67, 70, 86, 99, 104, 111, 118]...
...and some loop-holes where you can do things you shouldn't be able
to [53, 77, 116, 117, 118, 122]...
...and I can't see a way back from "It is the old kind bathroom"
[127].
I still haven't played ZX Heroes yet, but the screenshots I've seen
look very impressive.
