Well Mike was, and I went for the ride.
Another early start on Hull Trains the 06:25 which these days is getting very full, but the staff were nice as usual.
It was EMC's Content Management Day, and like all software companies to ensure good attendance they hold such meetings in 'interesting' venues. In November last year they invited us Monte Carlo which allowed me to go in a helicopter for the first time (and Lynn came to - so loads of extra cuddles - just what a bear needed).
As always Mike was working on the train, and when we got off at Kings Cross, he rushed into the Firist Class lounge to email his work to his office. Then on the underground to Baker Street, and walk to Marylebone Station.
It was the first time I have been through Marylebone, although Mike says his boss uses it go home.The Chiltern trains are all small and cute (just like me) not so big and aggressive as the National Express.
The stadium is huge, and we had first go down three flights of stairs to get signed in, and then back up three escalators to up to the presentation.
Nice people talking (as always) got a bit tired when the term Enterprise Content Services got mixed in with Service Oriented Architecture.
At coffee break we got to see outside the room to look at the pitch and where all the people sit
There were some men kicking a ball around, Mike said it was only a game, but they all seemed very serious about it.
More presentations, very complex, but Mike did smile a couple of times, particularly when someone played a video of a squirrel.
Lunch looked nice, but although Mike complains that these posh places don’t cater for vegetarians very well, he should try being a small bear.
Left as soon as we could and Mike rushed through the underground so we got an earlier train, and be home more than an hour earlier. That will make Lynn happy.
Train back was the same one we came down on, although it had been to Hull and back during the time. Nice lady in the buffet smiled at me, but still didn’t have anything for a small bear.
Anyway been to Wembley, seen the arch, the pitch, and the blue seats where they put royalty, but quite tired, and got to go back to London tomorrow. This time to stay overnight. If I regain some strength I may write about it.
