Is there a session on : ''how many more stupid and meaningless terms can we invent?''

 

[Swarfmonkey]

Yeah, they’re discussing terminology after the symposium on “how do we get more disabled BAME immigrant trans lesbians to take part in vegan farming in the midlands?”

paying for 150 hrs of zoom meets feels like hell after the last fee months

has to be a better way for these events to function under covid

Zoom is the Covid silver lining for people in isolated locations, or the darkest abroad like myself. We couldn't attend events like this without Zoom.

Just goes to prove I was right to invite you to dinner. Read the book,now watched the film. A very inspiring story which everyone should see and seek to understand. The implications of what he is saying apply to everyone on the planet.

I have been a fan of ORFC for many years but i must admit just trying to read the program for 7 days & 150 sessions put me off
Best part of all these events is sitting down with new faces over a beer/coffee/fry-up so i will probably wait until i can again attend in person

 

[Barleycorn]

Going to miss my 2 days in Oxford, and Wetherspoons!

I didn't sign up either. I was looking forward to it as it's not usually available to me here. But nothing on the programme pulled me in to splash out for a ticket tbh.

Zoom & Teams are great for to travelling & socially mixing, but a nightmare if you don't have strong and stable broadband.
