So there's supposed to be a lot of news about NPL dropping today. Told by Matty we have to wait until Friday to hear it. Thing is, we're not going to NPL tonight so we won't hear the speech. And I'm bored.

So can someone spill the beans here? :D

Yeah, I think Timmy posted last Friday, saying he had to bite his tongue for 7 more days.

The floor is yours, Mr Harry. :D
