The continuing adventures of Roger Wilco

(… or why cuddly toys aren’t allowed out of the house with me too often.)

What I neglected to mention in the last post was that, when JB turned up at All Bar One, not only did he tell me how much he’d enjoyed Robyn’s presentation, he also highlighted the fact that Roger Wilco was still at the Oak Table and that the exhibition hall looked like it was closing! Having advertised Roger’s presence via the blog, I felt he should be there, but I couldn’t hang around there all day. JB had surrounded him with water bottles to make it clear that he was a very important Raccoon and not to be discarded!

So I dashed back to the ICC but the exhibition hall was now closed! I’d be in *big* trouble when I got home. Losing Roger because I was drinking beer? 🙁 Then I received an email from M2 (Michael Moller).

“I have rescued Roger. He is in my safe keeping. The balcony was being cleared of everything … if we dont meet, he’ll become a danish citizen. :-)”

Phew! So now all I needed to do was meet up with M2 at some point and arrange a handover.

“I am in the conference, so call me to coordinate a place where
Roger can switch travelling bags. I was under the impression he was looking
forward to Denmark. It is where “the” Oak tables stand after all.”

Well, with one thing or another, we didn’t get to meet! Nevertheless, M2 emailed me regular updates, including ….

“I have at this very moment introduced Roger to Aimee” (It was Aimee who thought Mogens was talking about a person called Roger.)

… and finally, yesterday ….

“Roger has arrived and is currently sitting, quite happy, on the real Oak Tables.”

Thanks M2, you’re a gent. I don’t expect Roger will be interested in returning to The Comfy Seat now, though. I *told* you he was a very superior raccoon!
