Remembrance Day 2025

As we remember all those, everyone a hero, who gave their lives to protect our freedoms…

It is scary and sad to see how many people in UK, Europe and the US seem to have forgotten why they died… Time to stand up to the fascists and those who profit off the algorithms that fuel hate.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

USMEF Great American BBQ 2025

A feast for the taste buds! The Great American BBQ, hosted and sponsored by the Texas Beef Council, USMEF and the USDA, took place at the KCC on 4 November 2025.

A cornucopia of US beef-themed dishes complemented by US wines, US spirits and US cheese ensured members of the food industry a tasty and fun night off as restaurateurs, food producers, and food distributors relaxed together… Simply the Best!

Elaine Chow: 14 March, 1986 – 27 October, 2005 – Gone, but Never Forgotten!

RIP Elaine Chow our friend and colleague who in the early hours of the 27 October 2005 committed suicide by stepping off a building.
Gone, but never forgotten!

Elaine was a wonderful, vibrant young woman, who brought joy to everyone she met. Our memories of her remain so strong and clear, that her beaming smiling face still brings a big smile to my face and a warm glow to my heart even in the darkest of days.

The pain of her death never seems to fade.

RIP Elaine you are deeply missed.

Suicide is not the answer.
HongKongers help each other, reach out and talk to someone…please!
If you know someone who’s talking (even jokingly) about taking teir own life then please get them help/talk to them…

If you’re thinking of committing suicide, you are not alone – talk to someone first. Suicide scars and destroys those you leave behind.
