Best insult I have received:The funniest insult anyone has ever thrown at me happened while I was trying to reassemble a computer whilst delivering a lecture. One of the students said "look at him, its like watching one of the monkeys' at the beginning of 2001, when they discover tools for the 1st time".
Weirdest thing I have done in the course of research:Stood on an operating soviet era nuclear reactor containment vessel. After a few minutes of wandering around we were told 'we should leave now, this is an operating nuclear reactor afterall'. I don't think I have ever been so nervous. Things that really get my goat (I don't actually own a goat btw though they taste quite nice)
- People who insist they are
vegetarian but still eat fish
- People who tell you they will do
something even when they already know they won’t
- Cars that don’t slow down for
horses; do they have any idea what effect 600 kilo of horse would have on their
no claims bonus?
- Why the simple "white coffee" turn into a "regular americano with a medium amount of semi skimmed non frothed milk"?
Things I like:
- Cantering (on a horse preferably)
- Paris
- Good standards of Requirements
Engineering
- Rock cakes
(In that order) Things I want to do in my life
- Fly a plane (Actually I did this quite recently, I'm not convinced I have the multi-tasking ability to keep the plane in the air, in the right direction whilst reading a map)
- Visit as many far flung places as
possible
- Come to an amicable arrangement with the planet as to what my role in it is
- Successfully design a
non-cryptographic voting scheme that doesn’t have more holes than a swiss
cheese
