[04:43] <pleia2> AlanBell: wow, that's a pretty decent percentage :)
[05:23] <elky> It kind of further adds to anecdata for the pub culture being a blocker, imho.
[07:03] <AlanBell> yeah and that is without really trying
[07:04] <AlanBell> elky: it is actually in a pub/nightclub
[07:04] <AlanBell> not a very politically correct one either :-)
[07:05] <elky> AlanBell, sure, but the event doesn't sound like it's aimed at hackers, it sounds aimed at business.
[07:06] <elky> and "business" gives the vibe of "you can expect workplace standard of behaviour" rather than "a group of guys in a pub"
[07:07] <elky> Imagine how much more you could have got had the pub been "politically correct".
[07:08] <AlanBell> yeah, but then we might have had to pay for it
[07:09] <AlanBell> http://www.thebrickhouse.co.uk
[07:10] <AlanBell> we were looking at conference centres and similar
[07:11] <AlanBell> I wouldn't have held it in an actual pub as such
[07:18] <elky> Ok, you made it sound worse than it is.
[07:19] <elky> Unless it's somehow not Cabaret but rather "Cabaret".
[08:04] <AlanBell> I really don't know, I am sure it is all in good taste
[08:04] <AlanBell> they don't let hen parties book strippers
[08:05] <AlanBell> I would hope there is a measure of equality about that policy
[08:05] <AlanBell> anyhow, there are no strippers on the agenda of the event we are running
[08:07] <AlanBell> but there will be cloud computing in the bed bar I think
[09:45] <czajkowski> aloha
