I can haz aircon at this blab?

I vote for semi-naked ladies providing much needed ventilation by way of large fans. But not all of them. Some will be feeding us grapes.

Re: Graham Smith's comment below. Erm, I know you're "only joking" and everything but come on, isn't the tech world supposed to be engaging women rather than belittling them? Fix up, dude :)

In the spirit of sexual equality, we'll also have a few semi-naked men performing aforementioned fanning acts. Maybe they'll feed us strawberries instead. You know, for variety.

Nice Save Graham.

Can't we just use trained chimps instead? Perfect for fanning and no wages. Get training them, Graham.

okay so is that a no to the male/female fanning idea and we go with chimps then?

I do like the novelty value of monkey fanners, however, from an aesthetic point of view, they're just not as... visually appealing.

Not visually appealing as men Graham? I'm not sure have you ever seen a monkey dressed in a toga...

I could shave them..?

Okay, so let me get this straight... Instead of semi-naked humanoids, you guys want toga-wearing, shaved monkeys to wave comically large fans in our general direction. Does that about cover it?

Well as long as there's room.

This is already the funniest meeting I have ever attended, and I've not attended yet. Happy days

You guys are going to end up disappointing so many people..

Weird Science.

Have given in to peer pressure. Bring on the fans and strawberries. Don't harm chimps please.

I just can't wait to see armies of chimps trying to peel grapes in MadLabs.

I personally like to think that the ritualistic shaving and enrobing of monkeys in togas is in no way harmful. I'd even go say far as to say they enjoy the elevated social status a toga brings to their quasi-societies, along with the increased ventilation to their sweat-ridden bodies and the decrease of skin irritation.

Oil of Olay could even start targeting Monkeys in their next product line for skin products. "For the discerning shaved Monkey that desires smooth, fresh skin."

The amount of zane in this message would give most students in Fallowfield a run for their money.

Just to confirm, all this entertainment is still £5?

All I asked for was aircon... :-S

Look, we're geeks. You ask for aircon, we provide a complete multi-user, full-body skin hydration system, complete with nutrient dispensers and a cup holder. Apparently, we call this technology: Monkeys with Fans?

They don't have to have fans.

Multiple salt/protein fluid dispensing units avec cupholders. Graham, I'm seriously worried about you now. Are you watching those European movies again?

Hi Guys, Looks like this ones full, looking forward to coming to the next meeting!

You foolish man, you've revived... the comments. Now we have to discuss monkeys in togas carrying comically large fans. Again.

THE HORROR

Misogynist origins notwithstanding, the concept called for the exclusive employment of chimps. Monkeys were out of scope, fans or no fans.

This project was hit with a bad case of scope-creep, to which Monkeys were included as a way to appease the Society for Primate Equality, and thusly, alleviate ourselves of potential lawsuits.

Tests showed that a whopping 98% of users found Monkeys to be equally amusing when carrying large fans. A small percentage found their skin to be slightly softer when prolonged fanning activities left a number of Monkeys disoriented and bumping into the Testers, and often each other.

I see.

Not again. Perhaps the monkeys could have electric fans.

Alas I was too tardy with my RSVP. I shall have to look forward to the next meet-up.

I seem to have misplaced my ticket, where do i print another on off from?

Ignore me, found it!
