Hello and welcome

I've got my dongle working! Woohoo!

Today is a briefing day organised by the G20 Voice peeps.

Am networking like a wild thing. Oh look, there's Michelle O. 'Scuse me.

Is taht her in the sage and black combo, mucking with her cables?

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 11:28

And now off to the loo?

ahundredtimes · 01/04/2009 11:30

I wondered that, it was the cable fiddling that made me wonder! Now she's gone off somewhere, I like the whole wheaty look, if it is her. Or is she the one at the front with the dark hair?

ahundredtimes · 01/04/2009 11:30

If she is the one at the front she appears to be in a TRANCE.

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 11:32

Nah - don't think she's front lady - hair too straight (basing all on one photo, obv).

Where's onebat today?

hippipotamiHasLost14Pounds · 01/04/2009 11:33

The lady at the front with the long dark hear looks a little dead, no?

ahundredtimes · 01/04/2009 11:34

Outside Westminster Hall? Pushing messages under the door? PW has popped off to pick them up..

ahundredtimes · 01/04/2009 11:36

Who is the guy in the glasses and what is he talking about? He's all nervous and pretend charming. OMG they are going to talk about tax havens.

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 11:36

This is weird - like watching Big Brother live feeds, but with a point.

ahundredtimes · 01/04/2009 11:37

'we are all in the union sense a bit introverted'

Come back PW. This is marvellous, tell us everything.

hippipotamiHasLost14Pounds · 01/04/2009 11:38

Loving 'big brother but with a point' description

Not liking Trivial Pursuit guy much, want to see PW in action!

Lemontart · 01/04/2009 11:38

Oh god,Trivial pursuit guy is dull

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 11:39

I think he's Richard Murphy - the tax guy - specialist on tax havens (abuses of).

Threadworm · 01/04/2009 11:40

lol at Big Brother with a point.

BEAUTlFUL · 01/04/2009 11:41

Am in awe of PW. I would be so, so bad at anything like this. I'd get drunk on free champagne, accidentally give dirty looks to Someone Important, spell everyone's name wrong then miss something vital when outside having fag.

Go you, PW! I'm cheering you on!!

Lemontart · 01/04/2009 11:41

ooooh! I see you on LeninGrad?s link!!!!

you look nothing like a policywonk ;)

She is the very glam one who looks like a pre-wrinkle cream Andi McDowell in the pics...

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 11:43

I just saw her! Did you see her?

theyoungvisiter · 01/04/2009 11:43

PW you are seriously foxy!!!

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 11:43

Actually, I'm only dipping in and out of tax boy's chat, but some of it is quite interesting - about big companies not paying tax in developing countries, and sending all their banana invoices to Jersey. i think.

blouseenthusiast · 01/04/2009 11:44

"pre-needing-of-wrinkle-cream" that should say...

ahundredtimes · 01/04/2009 11:44

Habbs and I think she's in a beige black combo today, because we saw someone mucking about with cables.

So do the 50 most influential bloggers spend the day trying to influence each other? Or are other people coming to influence them too later? I hope PW is influencing someone somewhere.
