A corporate hospitality policy that says you are not allowed to accept
any presents, invites to events or even have a meal purchased for you if
there could be even the slightest possibility that anyone could accuse
you of being unduly influenced as a result of having said meal bought
for you.

3 nice bottles of Red.
One bottle of whiskey.
About 10 boxes of chocolate (Mainly miniature heroes, celebrations and a few
boxes of Belgian)
Book on the history of motorcycles.
Golf balls
Socks
Pen
A really nice one was a book that I recommended to a pupil, he told me it
was out of print.
Then when I started reading it to the class, he opened up his own copy.

  Corporate policy? Here? What for? Why would anybody try to curry
favour with academics?

  Had a bit of food and some wine at the CMS party at Point 5 last
Wednesday evening. ...and some fun "guiding" the bus back to CERN with
my new handheld PGA/GPS. There's a School party Monday and a BITLab event
Tuesday. There endeth the Holiday Season.

  Bah. Humbug.
