Pitching in London
Saw this on the walk to Leeds train station.
Waiting for the train I noticed that apparently cork isn't Jose Mourinho's only passion; apparently he he's so keen on the Bond films he's bought a phone that doubles as 007's gun.
We were running a bit late when we got to Kings Cross and rashly decided on a taxi. I was strangely grateful for the traffic jam since it's not very often you're made to feel affectionate towards The Tube.
After the meeting, we had a drink in the hotel bar, making the mistake of letting Garth get them in. Every sip of my G and T was accompanied by, "Enjoy it, that was £7.20!". He made me eat my slice of lime to get full value.
It was back to reality the next day, going through masses of quant results in Sheffield.
By the way, I love the fact that WH Smith understand that I don't want to queue to pay for a paper,and trust me to pay up.
Eep! Never ever ever get a taxi to/from Kings Cross!
Tried that once and ended up missing the train by 15 minutes, at a cost of £15!
(plus £25 to change times on my ticket to Sheffield...)
I am also a big fan of the WHS trustpay system. Its nice to see a big company putting faith in the honesty of its customers.

Yep, I love that system too.
