The last word Missing

In Action

A much-respected, muchdecorated battery veteran — one of the so-called Warsaw Few (survivors of the 2008 ELBC evening gala) — was conspicuous by his absence at the Pb23 event held in Athens this summer.

“We didn’t know what to do with our lanyards at the conference close,” moaned one delegate. “Shame the ILA couldn’t be bothered to provide someone to recycle these.”

Big brother is watching you!

Not something you expect every day. But as one speaker sat down to applause at a recent conference, we couldn’t help notice — he was sitting just in front of us — that he immediately opened his laptop and a startling selection of pictures of beautiful ladies appeared.

“We first thought that he was looking at rude pictures but when we saw him swipe one way and then swipe the next — we breathed a sigh of relief.

“He was just planning a catch-up on Tinder.”

ABC has solved the thorny issue of giving out conference bags or not. At ELBC last year no delegates’ bags were given out — budget reasons — and a generation of children lost their school satchels for that year.

But here is one admirable 20ABC solution.

The conference is partnering with HUSK — a charitable organization that helps thousands of people living in poverty — to start designing and sewing the related conference bags and gifts.

The conference organizers said: “We hear HUSK is delighted with the large order, and first payment has been made — it’ll go a long way to support each of the families’ weekly expenses.”
