It is a while since I last visited Mr Bader, and therefore lovely to see him again. Mr Bader is the Chief Eggsek of CITMA, like Mr Davies is the Chief Eggsek of CIPA, although there the similarity ends. For example, Mr Bader has never been seen at a conference in comedy shoes. I have brought Mr Bader some chocolates to say thank you for opening the IP Inclusive bank account, something which many of us had been trying and failing to do for almost longer than IP Inclusive has existed. I have also brought him the magnificent glass trophy that IP Inclusive received in March. I say: Here you are; put it on display at your place for a bit; I am scared we are going to lose it if it stays at CIPA. Only be careful, I say, because it collects dust. Well, it did in my house anyway. Mr Bader smiles politely and puts the trophy and chocolates to one side so that we can talk Important Business Matters. Mainly the Important Business Matters are to do with the wacky plans for a Careers in Ideas reception. Mr Bader thinks this is a good idea and he might be prepared to give me some money towards it. But he makes it clear that if I want help with the wacky plans I am on my own, because he and his staff are too busy with important trade mark stuff and they do not have time for wackiness. He says: I do know a man who might be able to help you, though. He is very good at wackiness. He has made a career of it. I say: You mean Mr Davies? Mr Bader goes quiet.
