The perils of drink

Posted by Dave at 6:53 pm

Last night we had a little drink and canapes session at Bank restaurant in London. We wanted to introduce a few more journalists to Zopa, so we invited a broad cross section of the press to come along and chat to us and a few members (Many thanks to Pete and Emma, Roderick and David who kindly volunteered their time - much appreciated!) The evening was great fun - and will hopefully mean that Zopa will get written about (and maybe filmed for TV again!) in the near future...but around 11 o'clock, the wine and beer vanished...and cocktails started arriving. I felt it was time to leave before things went downhill rapidly - sadly Tom failed to see the warning signs - and got home at 4am this morning. I think he got home a bit earlier this evening...

It was only a little one (on the way in…)

Slightly silly Friday afternoon post - forgive me, it's been a hard week. Thomas (our resident guru of all things technical) made a very intelligent, reasonable and considered comment on Techcrunch this afternoon (Finding the comment is left as an exercise for the reader so as not to spoil Zopa's good name quote so blatently.) We're all expressing our general love and admiration for Thomas when Tom, (yes - the one with the mug below) decides to contribute to the same post in a manner so juvenile and childish that we are, frankly, shocked. Although we did laugh. Actually, Tom (not Thomas - important) laughed so much that he swallowed the pen lid that he was chewing on at the time. It was a Bic™ on the way in. What it'll be on the way out is anyone's guess....
