At this morning’s meeting, Bedford solicitor Martin Addrison of HilliersHRW did the “infomercial slot” on London Restaurant “Dans Le Noir”, who’s specialism is serving diners in a pitch black setting.  Waiters are all blind or partially sighted, and the absence of light is intended to make you focus more on...

A few faces missing this week (holidays). We managed to polish off the breakfasts still however – one new visitor made a particular point of complimenting Toni on the food (it was him that ate the missing peoples share I think). Five minutes of humour to start: a list of...

5 minute Infomercial slot: Christine Barham gave a lighthearted overview of txtspk (textspeak) and shared a few acronyms/text terms; some of which members knew and others they had not heard (and in some instances would probably never use!).
