Off topic: Dinosaurs and Alien Queens

I may have mentioned that I don't live that far from the Excel Centre - to the point that sometimes, I end up using it as a short cut to get to other places when it's cold.... Recently, I was cutting through it and there was some big conference on. I found out later it was "ICE" - a big gambling company trade show.
