A whole battalion of JGers are off to the USA next week. We will be:
- observing some listening labs. In a secure facility.
- taking advantage of how rubbish the dollar is.
- eating burgers.
- buying lots of macs.
It's going to have a big impact on how stuff works in the future and we're really excited.
Eggs, flour and milk.
Some might say it's a simple recipe for pancakes (well, it is, I suppose) but it's also an excuse to raise funds online.
Don't follow?
Let me take you to Jane's page:

You see, Jane is raising money for Advantage Africa by taking place in the famous Olney Pancake Race. In her own words on the page:
I shall be donning a pinny and scarf, tossing my pancake and running as fast as I can (i.e. not very) from the marketplace to the church without dropping it.
To illustrate the tough nature of her challenge, she's added some photos from the charity's flickr stream to her fundraising page, showing off the pretty little village and the crèpe course:
Incidentally, your humble blogger can vouch for the excitement of said race, having been taken there many a time when just a wee boy by my mum (aaah).
But Jane's not the only person doing one of these flipping events for charities. Oh no! Have a look at Anne-Marie and Ally's fundraising pages. Here's hoping they too manage to batter their targets.
Who says people don't give a toss about charities anymore...?
