WELL DONE TAMKIN AND MICHAEL

13/11/2007


Warm Greetings

I wanted to share my experience about the great Dinner with the Experts event held at the Long Acre in Leicester square that I attended last night. Tamkin and Michael did a wonderful job inviting some great experts, I remember some names like Rod Thomas talking about property investment, Alistair Cooper about the planning Game, Geoff Alexander about Internet Marketing, Roxi about spread betting and the list goes on.

We had around 40 people, including the 10 experts. I had the chance to speak to a nice lady in the name of Raksha Kukadia who is a management consultant; Ben had some great projects in France for which I wish him good luck. Asheley who is a personal development coach was another great person to talk to; she and her daughter have some projects in the pipeline which will definitely get their name out there.

It was supposed to be an open buffet style dinner and everybody was definitely very hungry by the time food was served. That was my opinion as I could not see any food being brought on the table staying there for a long time. Specially being vegetarian, there was a very limited amount of food that I could eat and I was struggling to get hold of any. Luckily, some very kind friends alerted me when the barman brought any new “vegetarian” plates.

Now, comes the joke of the night!!! This gentleman comes with a big plate and puts it on the table where vegetarian people should be eating. I noticed he was struggling to speak/understand English. I asked him if the food he just brought was vegetarian(it didn’t look to me), he thought for 2 seconds and looking a bit confused said yes, this is vegetarian. He showed me the plate; I was definitely convinced that there was some communication problem here. He was still explaining and just added; yes everything on this plate is vegetarian except for the pieces of pork. *sighs*. Poor me, I had to contemplate two tomato skewers and a cheese cake for desert, that was for the GBP 20 pounds I paid I guess, anyway can’t complain.

I got the opportunity to make some friends and get some potential business contacts and most importantly, later we went to have a nice dinner at Mirch Masala. I would say it wasn’t too much of a waste; I had a good night out after quite a long time.

Next event with Tamkin will be the London Club Entrepreneur event on the 12th of December; I expect more luck with the food then!

Thanks again for coming back to read.

Take good care and be happy (and wealthy like would say Tamkin).
