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.
