Ben Leaves "The Lab", Fort St. George, Cambridge - 16th June 2006

One of the dwindling band of original 3G Lab (then Trigenix, and now Qualcomm) staff - Ben - decides to move on into the world of consulting. In keeping with tradition, there's a gathering for beer somewhere, this time at the Fort St. George on the river in Cambridge. There had been a lunchtime trip to the Green Dragon as well, but work commitments meant that Nosher missed that particular free-food session. Anyway, the evening starts with a stop-off to Isobel's local - the Kingston Arms, and then a trek over to meet up at the George. Following large amounts of Leffe (and a mild hangover), Nosher and Isobel head off the next day down Mill Road in Cambridge for a drink at café CB1 and then a rummage around the Salvation Army shop, where Isobel spots a Singer sewing machine table. This in turn required the flagging-down of some South African guy on a bike to actually get it out of the car again.
