And the steaks are as great as advertised.<\/em> That sounds like a good time.\r\n\r\nWe reached 800 Twitter followers overnight.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank you to everyone who follows us and spreads the word to other RSA members.\u00c2\u00a0 Craig has more than 313,000 followers, so we&#8217;d like 1\/313th of that&#8230; only a couple hundred to go.\r\n\r\nBack in 1991, the inimitable <strong>Stephen Fry<\/strong> hosted a nationally televised program in the UK to raise money for AIDS awareness and prevention.\u00c2\u00a0 In a sketch, he invited <strong>Rowan Atkinson<\/strong>, <strong>Hugh Laurie<\/strong>, <strong>Emma Freud<\/strong> and Craig<strong> <\/strong>to talk about safe sex (sort of).\u00c2\u00a0 This event, by Craig&#8217;s own admission, was several months before he got sober. Although the subject matter is a tiny bit risque, it is all done in good fun and we hope you&#8217;ll enjoy.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks to the RSA&#8217;s @<strong>CozyHobo<\/strong> for sending us the

different options to see which ones work the best, as a way to invite more people to spend time here on the site.\u00c2\u00a0 We can&#8217;t monitor a chat room 24\/7, so at this point it will be open only from time to time.\u00c2\u00a0 We&#8217;ll send out a note on Twitter when we&#8217;re open for business.\u00c2\u00a0 So far, we&#8217;ve tried the Meebo chat room and phpFreeChat, both of which seemed to work well.\u00c2\u00a0 It has been suggested that we try Skype but that would require any user to sign up for a Skype account.\u00c2\u00a0 A better alternative may be TinyChat, which allows users to sign in with Twitter, Facebook or MySpace.\u00c2\u00a0 We have set up an account there but are have a bear of a time getting it to embed on our website.\u00c2\u00a0 WordPress sometimes stumbles with JavaScript, so we&#8217;re not sure how to fix it.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyone with suggestions, please tweet us up and let us know, or send a message using the form on the right-hand column.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank you in advance for your help.\r\n\r\n<div id=\"attachment_5154\" style=\"width: 104px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5154\"
