robk Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Great time had by all as usual! Hope everyone has a good trip back. Many thanks for the information and good company.
Jay_Jay Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Was a great conference, was good meeting you all, I was the one coughing and with a croaky voice (Man Flu I think), still worth the trip tho

GAS Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Thank you to Edugeek and Microsoft, it was fun let see if i can make it to Preston.
TheScarfedOne Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 It was a brilliant event - thanks Chris and Ellie. James - epic baking, and even more epic fails in the evening and morning after lol. See #edugeek! Good to see familiar faces and put new faces to names too. Roll on Preston :-). Ps. Ta Shaun for the name change...
TheScarfedOne Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Was it a "special" cake Well... It seemed to have the desired effect on Ric lol
Dos_Box Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Ric and I are currently sat in the Virgin first class lounge at Euston waiting for our train. Ric claims 'nothing happened'. He's still quite drunk though I think.
TheScarfedOne Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Ric and I are currently sat in the Virgin first class lounge at Euston waiting for our train. Ric claims 'nothing happened'. He's still quite drunk though I think. Haha you are filled with confidence in the 'nothing happened' too then!
john Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Ric and I are currently sat in the Virgin first class lounge at Euston waiting for our train. Ric claims 'nothing happened'. He's still quite drunk though I think. hehe Rupert and I were enjoying a "small" Costa Coffee in Reading Station no sobriety issues with us this time Apart from my mad platform dash due to last minute change at reading station blasted trains changing platforms 1 minute before they are due then I had some people spouting off that God is king and mumbo jumbo in 1st class all the way to Paddington I thought 1st class was designed to keep the riff raff out Many thanks again for a great time it was really enjoyable and great to meet a number of new members that we don't usually get to meet at our Northern Events.
witch Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks all - I had a great time and the guys at Microsoft seem to actually listen to the tribulations of smaller schools. The cake was AWESOME - thanks Edutech
teejay Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Finally got home after all the train delays (suicide jumper and an accident involving some graffiti artist idiots). Thanks for a great time all of you, special thanks to Dos_Box for the generous hospitality:D Now, can someone remind me who it was you were googling in the pub
teejay Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Are the powerpoint presentations going to be put online somewhere? My note taking after 4 hours sleep looks like spiders on acid, also after last night my memory is a bit fogged:o
Soulfish Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Are the powerpoint presentations going to be put online somewhere? My note taking after 4 hours sleep looks like spiders on acid, also after last night my memory is a bit fogged:o They're already online - How many network managers, technicians and EduGeek members does it take 3
teejay Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks Soulfish, once my brain has detoxed from the excessive alcohol consumption I'll go through them, was hoping it would be tomorrow but got home to find the mrs has invited some of our friends round for a 'few' drinks tonight My liver, my poor liver....
Soulfish Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks Soulfish, once my brain has detoxed from the excessive alcohol consumption I'll go through them, was hoping it would be tomorrow but got home to find the mrs has invited some of our friends round for a 'few' drinks tonight My liver, my poor liver.... I'm just glad I wasn't drinking last night in the pub . Having just checked the links on the MS blog post it does appear that they go to a private section of Ellies sky drive!
EduTech Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Ooops, the links don't work any more. I have emailed Elli with regards to the links not working. She is going to get them sorted. James.
TheScarfedOne Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks Soulfish, once my brain has detoxed from the excessive alcohol consumption I'll go through them, was hoping it would be tomorrow but got home to find the mrs has invited some of our friends round for a 'few' drinks tonight My liver, my poor liver.... There was a large amount drunk that night (and the night before) - although the funniest bit had to be the twitter flame wars that started! How many members could get stitched up (myself included!)... so so funny, and the after effects continued today! @Dos_Box... shall we discuss the toilet incident?? LOL And dont get me started on EduTech's driving - we were nearly 2 members down, one of whom has only just taken up his permanent EduGeek role.
EduTech Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Now, can someone remind me who it was you were googling in the pub Now that would be telling! ;-) Extremely S**Y @Stuart - My Driving is not that bad to be honest! ;-) Drive back to birmingham was rather boring mind LOL
EduTech Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Right, I am back home now and I'm feeling rather okay just a bit tired after an early start and the total #FAIL i made of breakfast this morning stupid smoothies! I had a really good time as per usual it is great to get to catch up with everyone and meet even more new faces! It was a very good day, well planned and put together and best of all we actually got some freebies! It has been a while since we have had a bit of a night out too! so that was great to get out and have a few beers and make even more funny memories that just give people reasons to rip the **** out of me but it just would not be the same without it... DAMN Smoothie! I hope everyone else had a great time, i'm so glad you enjoyed the cake! I might have to do something for the EduGeek Conference in Preston Hmmm... @Stuart - Nice one on the name change!
witch Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Ohh - not fair - I would have loved to have been there but I would never have managed the drive home later - had to stop for a nap as it was....
