I don’t normally have much time for videos on weblogs, but I’m making an exception for Sir Paul.
Note added in proof.
Oh for goodness’ sake. I can’t embed the video. It’s here. When are we getting MT4?
Nurse: I still can’t can’t believe the stupid bastards let him go to Rockefeller. Their gain was definitely our loss.
Nice little piece. Was he the head of the ICRF?
Here’s the correct link.
He was, when I used to work there. I was actually in a Christmas panto with him, which is the closest I’ll ever get to a Nobel Prize. The Fifth Floor was notorious for its pantos – he was forced to play Captain Kirk in a Star Trek/Titantic hybrid sketch. He was a surprisingly good sport.
Ha ha!
My memories of his lectures, and of when he gave a seminar at the LMB, were similarly of a ‘surprisingly good sport’.
If your hero, Jenny, is Peyton Rous, mine might well have the initials PMN.
Hmmm. I think opinion was divided over his reign at ICRF. The merger with CRC to form CRUK ruffled quite a few feathers.
Hm, I wonder if you overlapped with a friend of mine, who worked for Peter Goodfellow at the Lincoln’s Inn Fields site. This would have been around 1991-1993ish, which might be a bit earlier than you though.
Who, me?
No, the one who worked at the ICRF. Jenny. Do keep up.
Well, it’s not that easy being omnipresent you know.
