Our series of Reflective Repasts continues. Z/Yennies will know that we hold regular dinners with a guest who hosts a discussion on their favourite paradox. December’s Repast featured Gerald Avison who led 15 of us on a challenging romp through his problem, “Is Failure Really a Good Thing?”. The debate seemed to divide the hold of the Lady Daphne into those who believed that they did learn but were not always sure what, and those who believed that they couldn’t learn much because alternative courses of action were rarely pursued.

Our Reflective Repast in May features John Lloyd, the producer of all four Blackadder shows who worked with Douglas Adams on The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, who also developed Not The Nine O’Clock News and numerous commercials. He’ll be talking about humour in business and what intrinsic properties make things quite interesting.
