The first surprise I have when I wake this morning is that there really is a rainbow unicorn bath duck on my desk. So it was not the Prosecco having a laugh. It was Mr Smyth having a laugh. The second surprise is when I open an email from the EPO, about a conference they are holding where I agreed to be a panellist. Attached to the email is a draft programme, which the organisers tell me they are sure I will be happy with. It is generally bad news when someone sends you an attachment they are sure you will be happy with. It means you may or may not be happy with it – probably not, in fact – but they have no intention of changing it. My misgivings are confirmed when I see in the draft programme that I am not just a regular sit-still-and-answer-the-odd-question panellist. No sir. I am a moderator. Eek!! The EPO have clearly been misinformed. There is nothing moderate about me. Nor am I good at bringing out the moderate side in other people. I fear for the success of this event.
