OK, so Dave and I had been to some networking type thing and, as fortune would have it, ended up in the pub, chatting.
Dave’s company, White October is based in Oxford, but he lives in London doing new biz stuff. Often, Dave uses cafes to work from, and uses flexible meeting spaces occasionally, because he has no London premises. As he’s telling me all this, I kindly offer that he can use the spare desk at Nonsense whenever he likes.

And then… EUREKA! One of us (and I like to think it was me, but am sure Dave will disagree) said “why isn’t there a service for putting people like you in touch with people like me?”.
And so Flaming Desks was born. Well, conceived at any rate. We’ve still got to make it!
We thought that collaborating on a blog about it would help get it done, and provide something for all you early birds out there to read while we sort the whole thing out. This is that blog.
