A jar of Jelly beans

Just back from a week in Aberdeen at our annual Produced Water Workshop. This was the event held over from April due to the ash cloud.
It was a busy week - Tuesday Alick and I provided a training course on oil in water measurement; Wednesday and Thursday were the Workshop itself; and Friday was our Produced water Club meeting.
It was quite an interesting meeting but the one thing which no one mentioned (on the record) was the Gulf of Mexico. It will be interesting to see what happens there once the immediate problems have been addressed and it will be interesting to see how it affects the way the rest of us work.
One thing which was consistent though the 4 days was the jelly beans. Someone in the hotel's management though tit would be a good idea to put out individually wrapped Jelly Belly jelly beans on each table. Sadly they look like hard sweets and not too many were eaten by the delegates. Whatever were left were 'rescued' and 'liberated' by us. By the end of the week I had over a litre of the beans!
