Not a bubble, reason #32 – messing about on boats

There are some sure signs that we’re not in a bubble, despite some of the big money being hosed at disruptive startups such as Zillow and Jobster.

However, as the pictures below prove, there are some signs that we are witnessing another – ahem – wave of dotcom madness. Notably, the hiring of powerboats…

Powerboats rocks our world

Setting off from Brighton Marina...

Is this bubble 2.0?

The champagne didn't last for long...

Powering away from the white cliffs...

And it wasn't entirely a dry experience...

Pete gets soaked...

Naturally this was an event of great strategic importance for E-consultancy, much like tonight’s highly-anticipated Lemon Studios party here in London.

We’ve had about 700 people register to attend, so we’re looking forward to putting a few more faces to names.

More photographic evidence of summertime fun in the internet industry will be published over the coming days.

Not a bubble, folks...
