It is getting tedious, saying Happy New Year to everyone I meet. I soon revert to my usual Presidential greeting, which is less friendly but at least sincere. The Congress Steering Committee forges ahead with plans for the new-look one-day conference that will be packed full of proper, serious CPD and will not be in a hotel with non-compliant lifts but in a proper, serious conference venue. A proper serious conference venue has proper serious AV equipment already installed rather than wheeled in with the mid-morning muffins. We are not yet sure exactly which proper serious conference venue we are going to bestow our presence on, but the CIPA Events Team is on the case and it is only a matter of time. Then we meet with someone from the IPO who wants to know our views about the EPO. We respond very carefully. He takes notes very carefully. I say Nous sommes très bons amis avec Monsieur Le President de l’EPO. Et also nous sommes not always dans agreement avec Monsieur Le Chat d’IP, ou at least pas en public. He says Oui j’understand. Then he says Est-ce que nous can stop parling le franglais, parce qu’il est getting up mon nez? He says, I can do Welsh if you prefer.
