Vasriel Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I don't get to go this year Came in to work this morning to find out my line manager had kept it quiet and is there for the 4 days
mdrabble Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I am annoyed with management at my place - they agreed I could go, so I priced up train costs etc for the Friday as that was the cheaper day. Then got told to pick another day as another member of staff was wanted to go on the Friday as there was some seminars they wanted to attend on that day. I then priced up the train for Wednesday, submitted the prices to then play email tennis justifying the times I picked (leaving here 8am to arrive london by 10am, then leaving london at 4pm to be home by 6pm) They agreed 1st class on the way back as there was a meal thrown in. After they finally agreed on times, the prices had gone up again due to their time wasting. They then asked me to get the 7pm train back which I refused and was told I should have got the details to them sooner. Needless to say I wasn't happy!
Norphy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I've been to BETT once. That was enough. Never again 1
Tesla Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 And drunken support ramblings too.... "Have you tried reconnecting the floggletoggle to the humdrumit? I'm sure that will fix the cobobulator......" You're getting drunken ramblings mixed with Non-IT people thinking they're knowing what they're talking about.
witch Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Who said that? Me...I'm cloaking On my shelf are some lovely toys: two teddies, a dog and a cat Last year they were edugeeks. Then they annoyed me..... 1
X-13 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Me...I'm cloaking So, what you're saying is that you put on your wizard hat and robes?
Simcfc73 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I've been to BETT once. That was enough. Never again Agree totally, I get a nose bleed travelling to far south. When I went I walked about for 3 hours getting zapped then went to cinema.
sonofsanta Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I would go, but I never have any money in my budget to buy shiny things. Not sure what else I'd go to a trade show for. Keep thinking I must be missing the point of BETT somewhere :/
hawc Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Spent most of this afternoon shouting at various morons from Network Rail and First Capital Connect!
abillybob Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I might be being a bit stupid here! But I don't know why Edugeek need a stand? Surely they're not selling anything so why bother going??

Surely they're not selling anything so why bother going?? MUST....NOT....DEPLOY...LOW...ORBIT...ION....CANNON!!!!!!!! We are here as we always are to say 'Hi' to members. We provide a place to hang out, relax, get free pizza, find out useful information and guide lost souls to far off stands. We provide beer and sustenance in the evenings to those who would otherwise be hungry and alone in London, and shine beacons of hope onto the darkness of the BETT show guide whilst meeting new potential members. Ask anyone who has crashed out on the stand at any time over the years. They will tell you. We put a lot of money into making sure that we get to meet members whenever we can and look after them. This is what we do. This is why we don't sell or pass on your personal details or send you spam. You're right, we're not selling anything. And I hope it always stays that way.

X-13 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Photo. Or it never happened. Just confirmed with Vice Admiral @elsiegee40. Said photo exists. Therefore, it DID happen. 1
LosOjos Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Just confirmed with Admiral @Ackbar. Said photo exists. Therefore, it DID happen. It's a trap!
Hefferzzzz Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Meet existing members, attract new ones, see cool stuff... ~Disclaimer: I'm literally sitting here with @Dos_Box right now.~ So WHY are YOU on the PHONE* ??? You are in the presence of greatness and you sit there tweeting about it. Honestly the youth of today. In my day we would have just sat and giggled uncontrollably. *may not actuallly be on a phone and any likeness to a phone is purely coincidental.

Bit blurry, sorry. @X-13 is giving his phone more attention than Dos_box, but he is here Sent from my iPhone using EduGeek Edited January 22, 2014 by elsiegee40 1
X-13 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 So WHY are YOU on the PHONE* ??? Because we have some variation of inspector in school. I'm reading emails [and edugeeking.]
mdrabble Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Wonder if there any kind souls out there who would be willing to collect freebie and send them on to those poor souls who were unable to attend
X-13 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Bit blurry, sorry. No, I need to become the edugeek bigfoot. Only ever seen in blurry photos. 1
Little-Miss Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Wait....some of you guys go...to look at things?! I just thought it was a massive jolly with lovely like minded people! 1
rad Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I am no longer able to post in this thread..... See you all on Friday! Got the green light after boss was there today and said I can go!
X-13 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Wait....some of you guys go...to look at things?! I just thought it was a massive jolly with lovely like minded people! It is. BETT is the promised land. No unreasonable teachers, no last minute requests... just EduPizza and @Millgate cocktails.
Little-Miss Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 In all seriousness I'm going to escape things for a bit. Need a distraction. 1
