      I’m a big flying fan, so probably Pete! Not only because he went to the same university I did (before it was renamed part way through my studies, University of Glamorgan!) but also because I spend lots of time on aircraft.

      Good question! They all seem like a good bunch and I’m sure I could learn a lot from all of them! I won’t cop out of this though and I’ll go working with Matt as software has always been a bit of a dark art to me, and I think he could probably explain in simply to me! Also I could find out how the Students Union at the University shapes up these days!

      Ah it looks like Matt and Pete have already teamed up! However, I think Neil’s work within pipes is similar to some of the work I have been involved in with managing flood water – however Neil is working with some much more tricky aspects and I’m sure he can teach me some interesting tricks of the trade.

      Don’t worry Philippa, we can team up too! Get thinking of a team name.

      I think we would have quite a lot of common areas of interest. I have an interest in energy, and designing new cities to make sure that they are as energy-efficient as possible. This would include planning for efficient roads, and making sure that natural disasters could be contained. I think your knowledge of roads and flooding would be very useful, and could be exchanged for the information you just talked about. We’ll call it a deal.
